    I'm posed this question before, but realistically, what light incredibly great fighter could move up several weight classes (maybe 3-4) and beat a top 10 guy there? Examples please...

    (The lighter guy is even allowed to weigh whatever he wants obviously.)

    Example,

    Roy Jones beat John Ruiz at heavyweight.

    I said about a year ago that PBF would outbox Lacy. Most people called me crazy but i still stand by that statement. Lacy simply won't be able to track PBF down in the ring let alone land a big shot. PBF will see it coming a mile away. Too much speed and skill.

    Id pick Pac to beat Sergio Mora. Mora wont hurt him and Pac would pobably outbox him. Likewise, I think 147lb PBF could eaisly jump up to SMW and outbox Peter Manfredo.

    The fight of the planet would be PBF moving up to Heavyweight and UD'ing John Ruiz. How fun would that be. LOL.

    PBF could beat a lot of guys bigger than him. Just too much talent and skill.

    Na wont happen. Ruiz will clinch PBF, lean on him and hit him whilst holding.

    I think BHop a few years younger could UD Valuev.

    Probably. A lot of shorter fighters could stay away from him, cause he simply can't reach that far down and he's too damn slow.

    Most boring fighters to watch

    Jeff Lacy.
    Corey Spinks.
    Bernard Hopkins.

    There's a few more.

    Fighters of today?

    I think Mijares could step up to featherweight and beat a good amount of top guys there, which would be 3 divisions above where he's at now.

    There have been A LOT of examples in history though.
