Do YOU rate multidivision champs higher than........

[McFearless]

Champs that have stayed closer to their natural weight or the same weight throughout their career?

[Rassclot]

absolutely. Especially in the pound for pound discussion.

[Bhopreign]

For me each case is different, its all about who they faced.

[Steak]

depends. if you just go after someone who just happened to win the belt quickly and is not really the champ there, just a guy that happens to have an alphabet belt...thats not really THAT big a deal.

If you go up in weight to beat a guy whos been established there and is highly regarded at the weight, thats another thing.

let me put it this way:
A win over a very good guy at your weight is still better than a good guy at a higher weight
But a win over a very good guy at a higher weight is probably going to be considered better than a very good guy at your own weight.

It depends on the quality of the fighters you beat.

Typically, although I hold Arthur Abraham/Klitschkos in higher regard than Zsolt Erdei, a 2-division champ.

Not necessarily. Cleaning out a strong division >>> rising through the weights taking out mediocre title holders.

Nowadays it isn't as hard to win abc titles in a few divisions. I give more respect to fighters that unify and especially become undisputed champion.
There is a differance between titlest and "Champion"

Yeah I agree. Me and a friend of mine were arguing on pac's (as he said) "greatness" I don't take any credit away from him and his accomplishments, he's a great fighter. But he was getting mad at how I think that's not all it's cracked out to be, as he hasn't unified the higher weights.

And yes I think unifying, cleaning out the one or two divisions is a great feat all it's own.

Kind of like trying to compare Oscar and Felix, which I think are a pretty good comparison

Definitely agree.

Nah the names on the list matter more. Fighters that move up in weight are not always smaller than their opposition.
