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.

when i first looked at this title of the thread instantly i thought roy jones, then i realised anyone can take steroids to move up to heavyweight.

so i changed my mind............ only kidding it has to be roy jones, just thought i'd get a few feathers russtled.
