I'm kind of with Spicoli, in that I feel both had better work to do in their respective divisions first. This is a quality match up tho between 2 elite guys.

Made me think about other lightweights that were successful in jumping straight to 147.

Mosley was the first to come to mind. Armstrong won the welterweight title, while weighing under the lightweight limit. Duran skipped 140. Broner also went straight from 135 to 147.

In saying that, what other successful weigh jumpers that have had success where the styles are similar to this fight?
