    Actually, he started a little above LW. He never made the 133 limit.

    Not every weight is recorded so we can't definitively say.

    But he pursued the LW crown so I'm assuming he did fight as a LW.

    I know Les Darcy won national titles from Welterweight to Heavyweight in his day. Lt Heavy didn’t exist on a domestic level back then and Les didn’t weigh much over the middleweight limit even when competing against the domestic heavyweights but he fits.

    I'm sure he started below flyweight.

    Pastrano featherweight to heavyweight.
    Burley started at welter and in 1942 TKOed J D Turner who weighed 219 pounds. It was somewhat of a stunt, but there you have it.
    Archie Moore welter to heavy

    Carpentier started at flyweight! And ended up at heavyweight fights.
