    James toney from 160 to 200+
    - thats a 40 pound increase.

    Roy Jones from 154 - 200+
    - thats a 46 + pound increase

    archie moore started at 147 ended up at heavyweight
    - thats a 50 pound increase.

    Pac started at 106 ended up at 147
    - only a 41 pound increase. Also the previous fighters didn't have catchweights to help them.

    Willie Pastrano.

    Started at 122, Featherweight in his era.

    Won the lineal Light Heavyweight Title from the great Harold Johnson, and was a rated contender at Heavyweight.

    So that's Junior Feather to Heavyweight.

    122-192. 70 pounds. Winner.
