two to start
Boxrec is a great webpage and the guys who run it do excellant work, but there are peculiarities. In this last batch of five fighters, all are listed as Cruiserweights in boxrec but only two of them are legitimate for that weight division. Jeff McCracken is best known as a Middleweight. He only had two fights above the LHW limit (W1(KO0)/L1(KO1)). Glen Modicue was best at SMW and he only had one fight at Cruiserweight (LKO1). Most weird of all is Roosevelt Green. He fought most of his career as a Middleweight, then retired for eleven years before coming back for one fight at (you guessed it) Cruiserweight. (LTKO3). I thought I had rated Tom Van Hoof as a HW in this thread but when I looked up his stats I discovered to my horror that they were all blank! His top weight was 197 but, back in the 1970s when he fought the CW limit wasn't yet at 200 but at 190 or 195 depending on what organization dictated. Here are Van Hoof's ratings at HW and McCracken's rating at MW.
