    Which jump in weight class is considered the most challenging?
    Is it just whatever is more pounds or have smaller jumps historically proved more difficult?
    What about if we only consider the original weight classes?

    Certainly the jump from welter to middleweight must be hard to pull off as history shows

    175- Unlimited aka Heavyweight.
    You go from a weight limit to none at all and your power better ****ing carry you through or get your head torn off.
    Props to Evander Holyfield for doing it the HARD WAY!!!!

    What is this 'HARD WAY' you speak of?

    Anyway, after Golovkins struggles against Jacobs (who was massive for a MW) does a move to SMW seem a taller task now than it did prior to the weekends fight? Or was it more to do with Jacobs speed and movement rather than his size/power?
