Did these guys ever fight in another weight class?

    I can say with certainty that Galindez, Kalambay, and Monzon never did, neither did Breland.

    Wilde had a lot of fights at bantamweight and even featherweight.

    Galíndez did. He fought an eliminator at CW in his final fight.

    Breland moved up after losing to Davis.

    Wilde often weighed in below 100lbs, fighting Fly's, BWs and even the odd FW. Can't recall him fighting at 118, but I know he fought other guys who did.

    Froch was a little like Ward, in that he had the odd fight in his early career where he was above 168, and so technically a LHW. I know coz someone tried to use this to tell me he was "P4P worthy".

    I imagine Monzon had something similar.

    Kalambay didn't.
