as the greatest in one particular weight class being that both fighters have been fighting at multiple weight classes, an argument could be made for ranking them in which weight they dominated longest but it wouldnt do the fighter justice, so whenever they do those greatest welters, lightweights, middleweights, etc of all time they should add a "greatest multiple weight champions of all time" category
lotta dudes would be on there, hearns, whitaker, de la hoya (okay maybe not), Roy Jones, Armstrong, obviously manny and floyd as well
Whitaker: all-timer at 135, more titles at 140-154 (lineal at 147)
Leonard: all-timer at 147, more titles at 154-175 (lineal/recognized champ at 154-160)
Duran: all-timer at 135, more titles from 147-160 (lineal at 147)
While 130 doesn't quite have the history of 135 and 147, among junior divisions it has good history. Mayweather's an all-timer at 130 and won titles from 135-154 as well, being the lineal/recognized champ at 135 and 147. Arguello's an all-timer at 130, while being lineal/recognized at 126 and 135.

I was thinking it would be f'd up if those guys were left out of the discuss completely due to stepping up.
