    Jones. To get even a paper title at HW at his size in the 21st century is incredibly impressive.

    Does writing up multiple contracts then refusing to sign them against Williams not count as walking away?

    Langford fighting from LW all the way to HW. I don't think we'll ever see anyone like him again.

    :yep He was slightly over 200 lbs. He went 2(1)-2 at the weight. Fought the Japanese HW champ Kyotaro Fujimoto twice, the first time was an 8 rounder (due to the JBC being cautious), and the second time for the title. Arguably got robbed on both occasions.:-(

    Thomas Hearns.

    Welter to Cruiser.

    Hearns was the first ever four weight and five weight champ in boxing history.

    In one fight, Roy from LHW to HW,

    Over the course of a career I'd say Pac, amazing what
    the little guy was able to accomplish.
