What boxer had the most natural ability to go up and down weight classes...ever?
A bit of an odd question I know.

I am asking who had the most freakish body, a frame that allowed them to go to differing weights?

The guy that springs to mind for me is Tommy Hearns, maybe other people have other ideas

Be interested to know....

Hearns had that perfect frame for growth. Not sure theres another fighter ever to do that. Welter to Cruiser weight.

I think what Roy Jones did was incredible too. Junior middle to heavyweight has to be a first.
