    Is Floyd This Only Boxer To Have Accomplish This...? (Serious Question)

    Floyd is the undisputed/lineal champion of both 147 and 154, i'm trying to think of who else has accomplished this... I feel I have a pretty good knowledge of boxing, my history is a little weak, anyone wanna enlighten me? I think it's pretty significant

    Lineal at 168. Beat Hopkins to become lineal at 175.

      Maybe those two specific divisions, but certainly not the only fighter be lineal in two divisions.

        mmmm idk about that, I think you have to beat atleast the #1 and #2 people at the weight class to be the lineal champ, just cause you move up or move down to beat the undisputed champ does that make you it

          Surely he's asking who held those specific titles?

          Armstrong held the Featherweight, Lightweight and Welterweight titles Simultaneously.

          Plenty have held multiple titles simultaneously.

            no specific weightclass, but who has been 'undisputed' or 'lineal' or ring champion at two different weight classes at the same time... Cause I can't think of any else but Floyd, which he became after defeating Canelo... You can only become this if you defeated Two champions or two the top three at a weight class; Floyd defeating Miguel Cotto and Saul Alvarez made him the Ring champ at 154 now; he's already been ring champ at 147 after his Shane Mosley victory I believe

              Like his post said, Henry Armstrong did it in 3 divisions.

                I think you become lineal champion if:

                1. You beat the lineal champion in that division
                2. The #1 and #2 guy in the division face off and the winner obtains the lineal title

                Like Adonis Stevenson is the lineal champion at 175 because he beat Chad Dawson.

                  hmmm, I don't even think an 'lineal' or 'ring' title existed in Armstrong's era, there was only one belt; so guess my question is more of the modern era of boxing, last 30 years or so...

                    This is correct, trying to figure out who else has done this...
