    Alright. We have a history of light fighters going up in weight and beating heavier fighters. I wanna know who you think in ANY ERA in ANY WEIGHT CLASS could beat someone in many many weight classes above himself. For example (Just an example, not my belief)-Pac Man @135 could fight Jermain Taylor @ 160 and beat him.

    Let me hear yours!

    PAC if he beats a Diaz. He beat undisputed Sasakul for the Flyweight title 110 lbs. thats will be 25 lbs to 135. Its never been done but PAC has a chance

    Charley Burley beat up a 220-lb or so heavyweight when he was a middleweight.

    So did Stanley Ketchel..and RJJ..Its a big difference for a guy thats a midget to go higher and fight another ripped fighter than for a guy who has a relatively big and lanky frame to begin with (5'10' 6'1) to go beat up a fat Heavy

    I think you're not following what I mean. See the posts above. An example would be a 126lb Barerra would UD a 168lb Joe Calzaghe.

    A very interesting and excellent question...

    Jimmy Wilde and Barbados Joe Walcott are two fighters who immediately came to mind. Both were known for knocking out much larger men. I believe Walcott knocked out Joe Choynski who later went on to defeat Jack Johnson.

    As far as fighters now, I can't think of guys who would knock out those in much higher weight classes.

    I was using past examples because I am having some difficulty thinking of guys now. Maybe Pavlik could knock out some really, really low-level cruiserweights or heavyweights.
