    Winning the meaningless WBO paper title against a bum doesnt make anyone a champion but you're a Oscarsexual so you probably think thats one of the best wins ever.

    I think he meant that Oscar campaigned at lightweight when he turned pro, but moved down to become light flyweight champ

    But you're right ODLH moving up to MW getting gift decsion over Sturm was stupid, even when he moved down to win WBCstrap at LMW, Oscar wasn't even a threat anymore at LMW already declining fast and hardly a dominating factor at that weight...

    Nonito Donaire- he moved down to 112 and KTFO darchinyan then pretty much beat everyone he face. None of the champions wanted to fight him so he moved up.

    I think Eddie Chambers could move to cruiser and do some damage

    BJ Flores will probably be a Force at CW, he fought at HW for most of his career.

    i think the great tommy hearns won the light-heavy title vs dennis andies,before moving down to beat juan domingo roldan at middle.the hitman didn't stay around long enough to really dominate after the lighter weights

    manny pac could move down to light weight an really dominate,also mayweather could dominate light-welter.maybe hopkins could have done it at light-middle or mosley down from ww to light-welter which he skipped.there were great fights there for mosley at that time

    i cant think of many, but if herbie hide gets the right fight he could definitely become a champion. and juan diaz, i am convinced if he shed that fat he could be a sfw/fw and would be stronger at that weight.

    Rendall Munroe has moved down to super-bantam, I dont think he'll win a world title but he's dominated most of the limited opposition he's faced.
