    what fighters don't belong in their weight classes? Kell Brook looks like he can skip 154 and go straight to 160, the guy is that big. Spence is pretty big too.

    Discuss.

    Odd question ... Are you asking what fighters should move up because they are weakened by making a certain weight?

    Nope because Brook doesn't seem weakened from making 147 while being a middleweight

    David Lemuiex looks like he has a helluva time making MW.

    Spence is a good one.

    Dustin Nichols should move up to "Anti-Matterweight"

    Canelo obviously. Charlo brothers. Broner was an obvious example at 130. Ramirez at 168 is beyond me.

    I always thought Margarito was too big for welterweight or whatever division he was in.

    Terrance Crawford was murdering himself to make 135 lbs.

    I was about to add him too. Seems like he drained/is draining himself too much.

    going back a bit but khasoi galaxy looked 2 weight divisions above everybody he ever fought in his 50 fights.

    scott harrison was a huge featherweight

    jeff lacy was as big physically as any 168 fighter can ever get.
