    You're going for Jones obviously and that's a good pick, I agree. But didn't Toney also have some fights at 154?

    Technically his first big wins were around lightweight/junior welterweight.

    Not yet mentioned ...

    Billy Conn
    Jimmy Bivins
    Tami Mauriello
    Archie Moore

    All went from welter or middle to heavyweight with some success (all of them achieved "number 1 contender" status at HW).
