moved up 2 divison's

He had tune ups prior to de la Hoya I.

 

hopkins i believe. had mackie shilstone working with him and looked great.

 

armstrong, duran

 

Akira Yaegashi did it a couple months ago.

105 to 112 and won the lineal title from Igarashi in his first fight.

 

No, he fought Winky at 170.

 

1. He fought Tarver for a lhw title in his first fight after the Taylor rematch at mw...so yes he did jump two division in his next fight and won a title.

2. Not to be a stickler but 170 is still technically lhw. Not the limit I know but still....and that was after Tarver.

 

Pacquiao

 

Beat Ruiz a 2nd tier champ and had to have his own ref in his back pocket to boot.

I ask who went two divisions up and beat the real champ at the weight?

Ruiz?

 

Sup?

 

what fight was this.. the only one i know pacquiao jumped up 2 weight divisions was delahoya and i dont think he had a belt (could be wrong)

 

You're correct.

Pacquiao never jumped 2 divisions and fought a titlist in his first outing.

 

Think Koki Kameda jumped from Flyweight to Bantamweight to win a title.

 

Just boxrec'd it. I'm a huge Koki fan but I wasn't certain.

He did have one fight at bantamweight against Cecilio Santos before fighting Alexander Munoz (the one Santa Cruz just beat 2 1/2 years later) for the vacant WBA. For the Santos fight, Koki came in at 115 3/4, which is bantamweight. Santos weighed 119, just to give you full disclosure of my boxrec findings!
