preferably non-heavyweight, but any names?

He's not a HOFer...

But Juan Diaz immediately comes to mind...Not sure how a 135lb lightweight can be fat...but "The Baby Bull" certainly pulled it off...

[Sugar Adam Ali]

James toney

[nivek535]

James toney a first ballot hall of famer, arguably an atg, and probably one of the top five boxers of the 90s.. Fought dudes from 160 to 260,,,, Toney may not have the greatest work ethic bit no doubting his skills, talent, and career achievements..

Dude stopped Michael nunn before Michael Jordan ever won a title, and stopped holyfield after jordan was retired for the final time... The longevity and weight jumping is just mind boggling... If toney had hopkins or Floyd's work ethic he would be one of the top ten greatest ever, without a doubt...
Dude stopped freakin holyfield,,, most of the top ten guys now would be hard pressed to stop a 50 yr old holyfield

Joe Frazier against Foreman.
Buster Douglas against Holyfield.
Rid**** Bowe against Holyfield.
Mike Tyson against Lennox Lewis.
Tyson Fury when he fights Klitschko.
