    Burley fought plenty at Welterweight, I’m pretty sure.

    Tony Zale - few fights above the MW limit, but otherwise no.

    Joey Giardello - LHW at the end of his career.

    Vito - yeah, 154.

    Alan Minter - nah

    Rodrigo Valdez - as low as 135 lol

    Quincy Taylor 154, and later on 175-185.

    Doug DeWitt - SMW.

    Burley - lots of big fights at WW

    Monzon - similar to Zale and Minter.

    I don't remember too well, but Burley was a Murderer's Row fighter, and most of those guys often fought out of their own divisions. Burley is probably no exception.
