    As the title suggests, list any fighters you think can win a world title in their first fight if they went up in weight.

    i.e could Breidis/Opataia beat Usyk at heavy.
    could Bivol beat someone like Optaia or CBS.
    could Benavidez beat someone like Bivol etc

    Not enough power to compete at a higher weight.

    Who does he beat next at 140 to win? All the champions there are all very heavy handed.

    I think Haney is starting to get very underrated.I believe he beat Lomachenko. And Lomachenko is a very good fighter.

    I want to see him fight Lopez. I think the form of the night might determine the winner.

    That fight will sell well so it should be no problem making it.

    Lopez has retired and Haney didn`t land that much on Loma.

    You don't think he could beat Rolly right now?

    They could put literal pillows on his hands and he would easily beat Rolly and win the belt.

    For Tank, his last fight was above 135 so moving up would be 147. I don't favor him against Bud or Spence. I think he gets rolled by either of them, it would look stupid.

    Not just him but Shakur too. If we're talking about which lightweights beat Rolly let's add Loma, why not?

    Rolly is definitely the weakest link at 140.

    Rolly is among the weakest belt holders north of 130 that I can remember. He shouldn't even have been a contender. He got beat by Mariñez who got blasted out by Commey.

    It probably should have been Commey fighting Tank. Commey, Jose Ramirez, or at least Pedroza should have been part of the vacant title fight.

    Inoue jumped weight and murked #1 Narvaez. He'll replicate the feat when he sparkles #1 ranked Fulton.
