Toney anyone?

Hearns was massive he wasn't fighting bigger men even at cruiserweight.

Leonard won titles in 4 weight divisions, his light heavyweight title was super middleweight limit.

Toney has won titles from middleweight to cruiser weight a climb of 4 weight divisions.


Plus you are merely higlighting my point. All of these examples are the greatest fighters of modern times and none of them started out as featherweights.

The higher the weight class a fighter starts out at the less important the weight.

But it would take a phenomenal fighter to move up from featherweight to junior middleweight, to my knowledge its never been done before.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here, Brit Kid will know what featherweight in the modern era has moved up and won a world title at junior middleweight?
