    Has a fighter ever won two titles in the same year in two different weightclasses

    In the year of 2014, Naoya Inoue beat Adrian Hernandez for the WBC Light Flyweight Championship, He is fighting for the WBO Super Flyweight Championship tonight.

    Has any fighter ever won a title in two different weight classes in the same year, in different fights. If Not, Naoya Inoue could be the first.

    Floyd won The Ring 147 title and The Ring/WBC/Defended 154 WBA title in the same calender year, May and September when he fought Guerrero and Canelo.

    I forgot who was it, either Robinson or Armstrong who did it within 12 months but not the same calender year. I think it was Armstrong.

            That's just sad but true

                135 and 147 Wins were unfortunately not in the same year. If he did it in the same year, I would have mentioned it in the first post. 130 was 2011, 135 Was 2012, and 147 was 2013

                  Sugar Ray Leonard did it one night winning the WBC LHW and SMW titles in 1998 against Donnie Lalonde.

                    Broner never won The Ring title at 130. Unless that's not what Brushmyhair is talking about, then if that's the case a lot of fighters did that (won alphabet titles in two weight classes in the same year).
