MOST ATGs moved up in weight throughout history

Thinly veiled dig at Rocky Marciano again. Stop it, Brock.

Since this is a dig at GGG Brock , then here is an ATG who didn't move up - Marvin Hagler who was a great MW.

True. But I said "most" not "all".

He should be given the opportunity to unify and become undisputed middleweight champion just like those other guys did. He should also be commended for wanting that goal. Shame Don King does not own all the players like he did for the Hopkins run to be undisputed. Its also a sad testimony for this era that all of these pretenders get to pretend and make millions while the real deal composts. Same with Stevenson. The Kovalev fight ought to be forced on both of them.

Yes, most of the top P4P fighters of all time won titles in more than one weight class. That's what P4P is, who's the best regardless of weight.

Another one would be Willie Pep.

Two more would be Aaron Pryor and Kostya Tszyu. Some fighters find that their body type and fighting style mesh perfectly at one particular weight and stay there. I don't necessarily agree that ATGs have to move up in weight to prove anything.

Pryor did move up though. Some suggest he peaked as a Lightweight before finally getting shot at the title when he moved up.

Pryor is known and ranked for his work at 140. If I'm not mistaken, GGG ahead his first few fights at 154, so by your logic he had moved up already. Point is, if he destroys everyone and completely cleans out his division, that is enough for ATG status. Same with Hagler, Tyson, Louis, Pep...etc.
