    Being Undisputed Champ and holding all 4 titles? Being the Cash Cow/PPV King? Breaking PPV Records? Breaking Boxing records?

        Just being undisputed isn't an automatic ATG factor, but it is a solid start to build a career with. Breaking boxing records is also an achievement by a boxer, granted varying in levels. Records that stood for years being broken is more impressive than getting sidebar "records" for the sake of putting self in history books. Stuff like undefeated and win-loss ratio is extra gravy for a boxer but not much more because you can easily adjust those numbers if they want to.

        Breaking PPV and crazy money is the greatest accomplishment a businessman can strive in boxing, but not an achievement of a boxer. I don't think anyone is willing to claim that Ryan Garcia and his SNS popularity makes him a top tier boxer in this era.

              It depends on what is important to a fighter and the quality of opposition being fought. You can be undisputed but if you fought B-rate opponents to achieve it, undisputed doesn’t mean as much. Jermell Charlo comes to mind.

              You can retire undefeated but if you never fight an elite level fighter at their best it’s not that great an accomplishment. Champion in multiple weight classes also doesn’t mean as much if you beat the weakest link from each division.

                    I think simply being the consensus #1 guy in your division is an underrated insanely high level provable achievement.

                    All this p4p sh^t is guys on couches fantasing & speculating on things that'll never be proven right or wrong. Multiple division & multiple belts at a weight success is often more about the money behind you giving you more options or being in sexy divisions or divisions closer in weight & often politics/promotion affiliations or lack thereof.

                    Consensus #1 at your weight isn't an easy achievement nor something that ppl can will you into with the power of their argument nor something disputable regardless if you got 0 or 4 belts.
