No, Tank isn't a 4 weight champion. He's only ever won a real world title at 130. Not even unified because he lost his IBF title on the scales, and his second at 130 came as vacant bout against Jesus Cuellar. He's a single weight world champion. Even if you throw his garbage secondary belts into the mix, he's still only gotten titles at 130, 135, 140, and his secondary belts were acquired against weak competition while there was a WBA Super champion in the division. Stop dignifying the jumped up mandatory as a champion.
He's been emailed the full 135 wba once Haney vacated. So 2 weight champ on the books

They just add another one on every now and again thinking people won't notice. Broner has got to be a five weight world champion by now at least.
Give it a year or two and Tank will be a six weight world champion, still fighting at 135lbs, still dragging washed-up 130lbers and draining 140lbers with catch-weights and rehydration clauses.

As much as I dislike Tank, it's still on record he's a 4 weight champion - whether we like it or not. For what it's worth, Tank's resume is horrific.
And he's only ever won titles of any kind at 130, 135, and 140... Stop making things up.
He apparently got elevated by email to super champ at 135, so now he's a 2 division email champ at least. But history doesn't recognize him as a 3 division champ because the WBA regular belt is barely more than a mandatory that's unrecognized by the other sanctioning organizations, and Josh Taylor was undisputed when he beat Barrios, who was never the champ at 140.
