    Are we talking weight class or actual weight?

    Well, considering that pretty much no fighter in history (outside of the non-notables with 1 or two fights) ever fought at the exact same weight for every match of their career, I think it's pretty obvious we're talking the former.

    Excluding Heavyweights would make for a better discussion as well. Monzon, obviously.

    Doesnt exactly fit the bill, but Bob Fitzsimmons was pretty much a super middleweight for the vast majority of his career, despite fighting as a light heavy and heavyweight fighter. Some might even try to argue that he was a supermiddleweight when he fought as a middleweight!

    Sorry burt but Leonard retired as a middleweight.

    Pep fought a few of his last fights above featherweight going as high as 137

    Britton went as high as 153

    As well as Ambers who faught as high as 140 (although these were in non title defences)

    Probably my fault maybe i wasnt clear in my OP but i meant to name fighters who faught everyone of their fights at the same weight.

    Eusebio Pedroza had a few fights at bantamweight early in his career,but once he moved up to feather,he stayed there untill he retired.

    You got it wrong---i said Benny Leonard, not Ray Leonard
    Pep, ritton, and Ambers when champ or contenders alkways fought in their
    original weight...Not 'see the old legend" ,weight...
