What is the biggest jump in weight?

[HeadBodyBodyBody]

Looking at the Groves v Eubank public workout, it got me thinking, is the jump from MW to SMW the hardest jump to make in weight category for a boxer?

Tyson Fury. From heavyweight up to Elephant class.

James toney went from mw to hw

Lhw to cruiserweight has got to be the biggest jump.

No. Light heavyweight to cruiserweight is a 25 pound jump compared to only a jump of 8 pounds for middleweight to super middleweight.

cruiser to heavyweight surely?

Holyfield went LHW to HW.

Or do you mean natty? because Evander wasn't Natty

It would be bigger proportionally than moving up 4 lbs from bantam to super bantam for example, because middleweights are not twice as big as bantams, but moving from 175 to 200 would be equivalent of a lightweight (135) moving up to jr middle (154). So the answer is light heavy to cruiserweight.

Holyfield ending his career at 220 while starting it at around 170 is still the biggest leap that I've witnessed.

No actually this guy is right if you average out the top 10 heavyweights to be about 245 lbs then that equals a greater proportional leap than between 175 and 200.
