Jumping from welterweight to junior middleweight: A historic list of hits and misses

The welterweight division has been home to some of the very best fighters in boxing history.

Seven pounds north is the less traditional junior middleweight class. It was once a stop-over between two of boxing’s glamour divisions welterweight and middleweight, but with time it earned a reputation of its own.

On Saturday, Terence Crawford will look to become a four-weight world champion when he faces WBA 154-pound titlist Israil Madrimov at BMO Stadium (formerly Banc of California Stadium), Los Angeles, California.
