Little different scenario though. If Mikey has started at 135 and stayed there many years then moved up it would be similar.
I was replying to Tito, who had said Hopkins had gone to 168.

Holy sh*t you're right! He just up and skipped over super middleweight and into light heavyweight. I stand corrected.
That was impressive, going up and beating Tarver.
I wasn't trying to sound like a know it all or anything, just pointing out what happened.

Tarver was arguably the lineal champ as well.
