    Has anyone in any weight class...

    ... ever held the WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF, IBO and Ring titles at the same time? All six of them. There's plenty of guys who've held some, but how about at all once?

    The closest was Roy in the late 90s Early 00s. If I am not mistaken he had them all except for the WBO which I think was held by Dariusz Micheloeski (I know I butchered the name), Roy would even come out with the NABF...

    ~ WBC light heavyweight title ~
    ~ WBA Super World light heavyweight title ~
    ~ IBF light heavyweight title ~
    ~ IBO International Boxing Organisation light heavyweight title ~
    ~ World Boxing Federation light heavyweight title ~
    ~ International Boxing Association light heavyweight title ~
    ~ NBA Light Heavyweight Title~

    I stand corrected it wasn't the NABF it was the NBA lol this comes from box rec.

          Naseem Hamed would have had all of the big 4 belts if his opponent wasn't stripped right before the fight.

            As was previously noted, Jones had a stack of alphabet belts at one point. Don't expect the four major titles to ever be held by a single fighter (i.e. Hopkins) again though.

              At one point Lennox held 'em all except for The Ring and WBO. Close enough, I guess.

              That's evidently clear, judging from what happened after Bradley-Holt. :angry1:

              Hopkins... damn, he had every one except for IBO.

                Bernard Hopkins is the only man to have ever done it.


                Recall back to Nate Campbell's letter to Manny Pac when he was trying to unify the belts, "A complete unification of the IBF, WBO, WBC, WBA, and Ring world titles. The only other person in history to accomplish that feat was Bernard Hopkins. Roy never did it. Oscar never did it. Floyd never did it. Nobody except Bernard ever did it."

                  As noted, Bhop had the big 4 plus the Ring. IBO don't really matter. Joe C won all 6 includin the IBO at 168, but was stripped of the IBF, so he didn't have em all at once.
