When considering someone in your p4p lists or whatever, what do you see as more impressive - someone moving up weights in lower classes (e.g 140 to 147) or in the higher classes (eg 168 to 175). Obviously 175-200 is and Cruiser to Heavy are different given fighters tend to go up 30-40lbs upon moving
Was talking to a friend (fellow boxing fan) earlier, who said he felt both were equally as impressive. I disagreed, and said I felt the higher weights were more impressive, movement within 135-154 is a lot more common than say 168-200.
Just an interest to me, as I rank Andre Ward as #1 on my personal p4p list, but im pretty sure a move up to 175 and a win against a 175 Dawson would certainly cement his position as a challenger to the #1 position alongside Mayweather and Pacqiuao.
