Floyd won titles at 130 all the way to 154. Duran won titles as a LW all the way to middleweight.
Pacman has a good career, but nothing unique.
How many former Flyweight world champions, have gone on to compete at Welterweight ? i would say that is pretty rare because i can't think of a single boxer that has done that, that is incredible and im just glad im in this era to appreciate it.
