If Oscar wins will he be the first fighter ever to come down from 160?

He leapfrogged a guy who last fought 20 pounds south of his normal weight class.

Compare the draw of Forrest vs. the Draw of PAC, no contest, plus PAC is #1 or #2 on pretty much everyones p4p lists*

* depending on how they judged the Marquez fights.

John Mugabi moved down to win the WBC LMW title after facing Hagler at middleweight, although he apparently won the title by default after a 1st round injury to Jacquot. In his first defense of the title he was crushed by Terry Norris.
