LOL, did you read my original post? McLarnin and Canzoneri!

There are other guys who have done more than Manny across classes. Langford beat ATG's from 135 to heavyweight, Mickey Walker beat top guys from 147 heavyweight, Barbados Joe Walcott did the same. George Carpentier went from flyweight to heavy (but didn't really beat top guys at fly).

It is an awfully small group.

The obvious choice would be Henry Armstrong because of the work rate and all action style. Also the fact that he has jumped up in weight and won titles. He is a southpaw so that would be the main difference and in that regard he is a bit like Naz with his punch power but not style of boxing.

Or maybe a southpaw Ricky Hatton.
