    I think Herbie Hide went from HW to Curiser weight successfully.

    Herbie Hyde (fought as high as 223 and as low as 198 )
    Anthony Mundine (fought twice as LHW @ 170. Also was a SMW, dropped down to MW and now he is fighting for vacant WBA International LMW title @ 154)

    if i remember correctly bernard hopkins started at LHW and then moved down to middleweight and became undisputed champ so it has, if anything, been done successfully

    If everyone keeps ducking Valuev he's going to cut over 100lbs to clean out the cruiserweight divison. Mark my words, they're all dead men. Dead!
