If you want to count the WBO, he already won a heavyweight belt and defended it 3 times, and won the WBC title and defended it once, I guess thats an achievment of its own, winning two different belts. Still a long way to go if he wants to be remembered.
Vitali Klitschko is has 4 title defenses

It's a funny thing. Vitali wore the WBO belt and people barely noticed or paid attention. At time's I forget he wore it also. But now that he wears the WBC many boxing writers and fans regard him as the best heavy out there. That right there should tell you how illegitimate the WBO belt really is in boxing circles.Comment

The WBO belt is now recognized as a major belt by most publications and networks. When he first held the belt, it was a paper belt.
There are a few threads on the WBO's legitimacy floating around the boards here. Now that the belts are all splintered, the holder of the WBO belt is often a more credible champion than the other organizations, especially the WBA - who sometimes has a "super" champ and gives the belt to their next highest ranked fighters...Comment

Taylor - Unified ChampOriginally posted by neils7147933And with Jermain Taylor, Miguel Cotto, Joel Calzaghe, Diego Corrales, Ivan Calderon holding the belts as well...
Corrales - also holds WBC and has proven himself over the years. Not the WBO that made him all that
Cotto - not really considered as a champ, but a GREAT prospect
Calderon - is he fighting in a division? Ohh yes, minimumweight lol
Calzaghe - The Brits are always complaining that he is not recognized anywhere..
So I kinda agree with the *****... Brewster made a name for himself.. Don King Helped as wellComment

I don't think the WBO is what it used to be, it's more weakened now. I remember in the early 90's everybody wanted a WBO belt (Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins begging Chris Eubank for a title shot for example, Gerald McClellan begging Manny Steward to throw him in against Mugabi) because people thought it was going to put an end to alphabet crap and leave the other feds behind, WBO was a refreshing contrast to the nonsense that went on at other feds. But since Barrera, Hamed and Michalczewski lost their titles it hasn't had any decent new champions and probably won't again, it's weak now.Comment

That is just too funny
Also weren't most of your posts on how RJJ was ducking Eubank?
