6 belts, 5 different weight classes warrants The Best title.

Ray Robinson started his career at Lightweight, and was beating the Light Heavyweight Champion through 13 rounds before he had to quit due to heat stroke. Apparently he was sick for over a month, and had heat blisters all over his body. He was close to dying pretty much. Henry Armstrong held 3 titles at the same time, and according to many was robbed for his 4th belt. This was with the original classes too. Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight all at the same time. What Foyd did was extremely impressive, but it's not unheard of.

huh? I thought Floyd was the legit champ at 130, 135 and 147. He was. But at every weight he was a champ he had serious threats to his status that he never fought like spadaforda and tsyu

Manny Pacquiao has 6 belts in 5 weightclasses as well. Difference is 3 of Manny's 6 are lineal titles while all of floyd's 6 were alphabet titles and was never considered the best titlist in his division until welterweight. huh? I thought Floyd was the legit champ at 130, 135 and 147.

In terms of titles, only Sugar Ray Leonard can compare, but skillwise Floyd is a far superior fighter. Whats ironic is before his last 4 fights (judah, baldomir, de la hoya, hatton) he was the favorite, but tons of people said he was going to lose, either by weight or because the other fighter wanted it more. but he won every time and he gets hated for it because he wont continue this cycle. but I suspect he will come back Manny Pacquiao has 6 belts in 5 weightclasses as well.

You're an ugly douche, well done.

gavin rees is top 10 p4p he would break ur face! :boxing: thats true, and now that Mayweather is retired, I dont know how anyone could even try to argue that hes not p4p #1.

roberto duran went up because he wasnt at his natural weight at lightweight, floyd is probly a 140 lb at most, but he moved up weight sucessfully.nah, Floyd couldnt make 130 either after a while. Im fairly sure he said so himself. and nowadays he weighs around 150, and thats him in really good shape. its not a big deal...fighters grow out of their weight classes naturally all the time. Duran was actually pretty chubby at 160 and 154. Duran also fought at 130lbs, and defeated a future champion at that weight. Back then, there were only two titles...and they were a LOT more legitimate than the titles we have nowadays. So the whole notion of 'champ in 5 weight classes' can be deceiving. Once upon a time, it was hard to become a champ of the world. Nowdays, you have guys like Juan Urango and Monske Fana and Gavin Rees becoming 'World Champs'. Kind of messed up.

there prob. could have been more that did the same the only thing is that there wasn't as many belts and weight classes back then.. and you forget Roberto Duran went all the way up to Super Middleweight.
