List of fighters who moved up

[yngwie]

And no one gives him credit for it so we can't act like it's special

No one?
Hopkins is a legend, and everyone who knows a little about boxing knows that.

[yngwie]

How are ya'll tracking his title defenses?? ya'll are counting his "REGULAR" title defenses while Sturm was super champ???wow

It's fault of the fighters that the wba started to call for unification fights at 2016?
Sturm is a good fighter i like him, but he run to europe to win a lot of controversial fights after losing a controversial fight himself.

You are seriously one of the only people I've ever seen give Taylor credit. Winky and Spinks fans hate him

[CaneloMaidana]

Monroe is much better than people think, Wade was a mandatory fight and Brook fight is a bad move, no doubt, but people did all this crying when Jones jumped two divisions, when Mosley jumped two divisions, when Broner jumped two divisions, when Hopkins jumped two divisions, when Sugar Ray Leonard come from a layoff and fought for a title in a division he never fought before, when Michael Spinks jumped two divisions?
Kell Brook is a huge underdog, but he is still a world champion, is active, is good and if people didn't cried when all those fighters jumped from division to division, don't cry for this.

Leonard, Hearns and Duran had all fought at 154.

Look at the time people started to give credit to Whitaker, Holmes, the Ruelas bros and there still are other underrated wins and fighters, but it doesn't matters because if you look on undisputed champions you will see Hopkins and Taylor along with the names of Duran, Hagler, Whitaker, Tyson, Jones, Foster and many greats.

[ИATAS]

No Erislandy Lara on that list I see.

I do think people pick and choose look at Zab and Curry. I think moving up like Hearns means more.

Lara called out a coward at 160, coward ran

[Raonic]

If GGG moves up, he's going to miss out on the biggest payday in the sport. Not exactly good business for him. I'm sure once he gets a Canelo fight, he'll consider moving up.

So Lara gets credit for moving up in weight by talking? In that case Golovkin fought at 168 pounds, he called out Carl Froch.
