First fighter that springs to mind is henry armstrong, then there is les darcy, harry greb, micky walker, tiger flowers, barbados joe walcot, sam langford and thomas hearns. Who else?

Archie Moore.

He'd rocket up to 195-200 for someone like Valdes, at HW, then work back down to 175, in six of seven weeks and defend his LHW title. Amazing, really. Burning of 25lbs in a hard six weeks and then stepping in at the highest level.

Looking at Boxrec he did Buddy Turman at 203 and then got back down to 175.
