Lightweights who skipped the Jr. Welterweight Divsion

Recently, I was thinking about rating fighters who jumped from Lightweight to Welterweight, skipping the stop-over in the Jr. Welterweight division. Then, there are others who were just there for a fight or two.

It makes you wonder what a Roberto Duran could have accomplished as a Jr. Welterweight. Or Shane Mosely. Would they have been more like their Lightweight versions... or their Welterweight versions? My guess is Lightweight.

Pernell Whitaker is another one. He only had a few fights at Jr. Welterweight, the first being the one in which he won a piece of the title.

There's a lot of great "All-Time" match-ups in that division with guys like Kostya Tszyu, Aaron Pryor, Tony Canzoneri and others....

Good question Jim. Shane is my IBO Jr. Welter champ & I obtained his rating by averaging his LW & WW ratings - he's a 10 @ 140 as a result.

I just did the same thing. Then, I matched him against Arturo Gatti who he chopped down in the 9th for the WBC, WBA & IBF titles while Cory Spinks and Zab Judah fought to a draw.

Finally, I came back online and read this post.

I guess our respective universes are on a similar wavelength!
