What examples in history are there of smaller guys beating bigger guys in the lower weight classes ? Talking about World championship level or close to it

Sugar Ray Leonard beating Marvin Hagler is the one which most will say. You could even add PBF beating Oscar last year

Henry Armstrong weighed below the LIGHTWEIGHT limit for a lot of his welterweight title fights. Some of his opponents were around his range too, but he beat Garcia who outweighed him by 12.5 lbs, Manfredo by 11.5 lbs, Pacho by 13 lbs, the great Ross by 8.5 lbs, etc...

Despite being smaller, Armstrong still seemed stronger than his opponents.

The great Dingaan Thobela (), who started his career as a featherweight and held a lightweight world title in the early 90's, won the WBC super middleweight title by a 12th round KO in 2000.

Jimmy McLarnin won a decision over flyweight champion Pancho Villa as a bantamweight early in his career and ended up winning the world welterweight title from Young Corbett III by a first round KO, he also regained the title by a split decision over Barney Ross.
