Has a fighter ever won two titles in the same year in two different weightclasses

You do realize Floyd fought Hatton at 147, right? Hatton even being considered a champ at 147 is laughable considering he was gifted that belt. Shane, hadn't fought in almost a year and a half. Floyd is a ATG, He was great then as well. Yes Hatton however is a bum.

All those guys were legit champs.. Baldomir was the clear lineal champ having beaten zab who beat spinks who beat mayorga who beat forrest who was the man Winky hadn't been at 154 in years, he was at middleweight, going up to lightheavy for bernard.. Oscar was the clear number 1 guy Hatton was the clear undisputed kingpin of 140 Marquez was clearly the best lightweight in the world after beating diaz, katsidis, casamoyer Shane was the legit #1 welter after beating down margarito who had just beaten down cotto These guys weren't just paper champs, they all had achieved true titles and earned them.. Guys like Ortiz, Berto, etc are a dime a dozen champs You do realize Floyd fought Hatton at 147, right? Hatton even being considered a champ at 147 is laughable considering he was gifted that belt. Shane, hadn't fought in almost a year and a half.

Yeah, well where was Inoue at in 1998 when Floyd was dominating? #fightinoue 5 years old. The dude was born in 1993.

Mikey Garcia did last year. He defeated Salido at featherweight then moved up to defeat sfw champ Roman Martinez. Yep, that is an example.

everybody has a belt nowadays. it wasnt like it was back then when one champ, one division. i mean just look at that list, 1. was baldomir the best fighter at 147 when floyd faced him? no that was margarito. 2. was oscar the best 154 pounder when floyd faced him? no, that was winky wright. 3. Hatton was champ at 140, but floyd fought him at 147 then retired when 147 was the hottest and deepest in all of boxing. not to mention collazo arguably beat hatton before floyd did. 4. Marquez sure. the same marquez who is a career featherweight and had one fight above 130lbs when floyd fought him at welterweight in a catchweight he cheated him out of? :lol1: 5. Shane had belt sure. he was also what a couple of months shy from his 39th birthday and was coming off a year and a half of inactivity, yet was able to almost able to ko floyd. even then, was shane the best welter? it was floyd then pacquiao by then. a shot margarito feeling the brutal effects of the first cotto fight fooled everyone into thinking shane was still great. it looks impressive what floyd did on paper but not really when you look closer into the situation.

All the names mentioned here and those guys beat better opponents too. Let's not go Inoue crazy

I mean in the standards of Fighter of the Year Eligibility. What Inoue is about to do should put him under consideration for FOTY. Yeah the podcast from another site that has a fairly strong hardcore following (I'd mention it but I don't know of that's against this site's rules) had a whole segment last week shitting on the BWAA for: (1) ignoring the lower weight classes for OTY nominations, and (2) ignoring fighters who don't fight in America ... ... and the most glaring example cited illustrating both problems (1) and (2) was the fact that the nominations for Fighter of the Year were announced before Inoue's fight, when it was clear that if he won impressively, he would (obviously) be the leading candidate to win the award

Naoya Inoue destroys Omar Andres Narvaez and makes history! http://www.asianboxing.info/world-title-results/naoya-inoue-destroys-omar-andres-narvaez-and-makes-history?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter This article is well written

Naoya Inoue destroys Omar Andres Narvaez and makes history! In professional boxing it can be very easy to get lost in hype. The American and British boxing media want to hype everyone that is shown on their airwaves. Sadly however sometimes the best aren't shown on "Western TV", the best example of that is Naoya Inoue (8-0, 7) who lived up to his moniker of "Monster" earlier today when he destroyed Argentinian stalwart Omar Andres Narvaez (43-2-2, 23) in the most explosive, destructive and violent performance of his career and claimed the WBO Super Flyweight title, becoming the fastest man in history to become a 2-weight world champion. In fact so perfect was this performance that Inoue may actually be the best fighter on the planet, it might be that Inoue is the only man we would favour over Roman Gonzalez in the lower weights, and more worryingly he's only getting better. The youngster from Kanagawa started fast. And we mean fast landing big shots almost from the opening seconds, shots that quickly sent Narvaez down. In fact Inoue sent Narvaez down inside a minute, Nonito Donaire couldn't manage it in 12 rounds. Inoue wasn't happy with just the one knockdown however and went looking for a stoppage in same round. Soon afterwards Narvaez was down a second time and Inoue went on the prowl smelling bleed. His prey knew what was coming however and Narvaez went into survival mode, hoping to see off the incoming storm. Narvaez managed to see out the opening round but then came the second round and Inoue again smelled victory. He went on the offensive quickly and although he was forced to eat a powerful straight it seemed to just bounce off him. Narvaez had nothing and was again sent to the canvas for the third knockdown of the fight. From then on it was a matter of time, time that was cut short as Inoue found the body of Narvaez and hammered away, repeatedly sinking in shots to the gut until Narvaez went down for a fourth time! This time he stayed down, there was no point in attempting to come back. After the bout the Inoue clan, and the Ohashi gym members, celebrated with Inoue who hasn't just stamped his name in the history books but has stamped his name on the "Fighter of the Year" and "Performance of the Year" awards. For those publications that have already down your rewards, we hope you feel silly given how amazing Inoue looked here. We suspect Inoue will be back in action in early 2015, at the end of the fight he hardly looked touched, not a mark on his face. Sometimes action speak louder than words, and this performance speaks a million words. http://www.asianboxing.info/world-title-results/naoya-inoue-destroys-omar-andres-narvaez-and-makes-history?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Honestly havent seen him fight but im excited to see him now

Does defending a current title and winning one in a different weight class count? If he won that title he is defending in the same year

the TS got overexcited after the win LOoolLLL...wait till that ****ing japanese gets exposed "peeleft: What weakness does Inoue have that he doesn't already make up for.

If you're just talking about alphabet titles, that's not that impressive. There's 4 titles per weight classes, and there's 17 weight classes. It could be done fairly easily now with the Silver, Gold, Diamond, Interim, blah blah blah titles. Thought you meant The Ring title, only Floyd Mayweather Jr has done it in boxing history. We can pretend the Ring title is still impressive (especially against Guerrero)

Add Naoya Inoue to this prestigious list http://suljosblog.com/suljos/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Naoya-Inoue1-650x1024.jpg

One night doesn't count. I think I forgot to clarify that Unless this is new years eve we're talking about - yes it does.
