List for me all those champions that moved down in weight to meet another champion and from that Infinitesimal list tell me how things worked out for them?

Fighters already strip down in order the fight in the division they fight and that even includes small middleweights like Golovkin. Let’s also keep in mind that 155 is not a division. Some fighters move up because they have to. They can no longer maintain the weight loss. For some that happens quite quickly for example Roy Jones who had a few at 160, feasted awhile at 168 and then found 175.

It’s a shame that none of the present welters or Jr Middles are not willing to do what their predecessors did with Haglar, Hopkins and Monzon to hand them their stardom. And lucky for those three that they managed for the most part to get these welters up at the tail end of their careers. All of these massive 154 fighters today won’t even mention Golovkins name. Pardon me Lara did once.
