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

[Build That Wall]

Two of them he dragged up to 147 where they were too small for the weight class. Shane & Oscar were both quite past it when he fought them. Baldomir shouldn't had been Lineal in the 1st place as he didn't belong in that class.
But the fact that he did do this run is a feat, even barring the situations.

The fighters that went up were willing to go up, that is what matters in those situations. They have no one to blame but themselves. But they got hefty paychecks.

They got hefty paychecks. There's the kicker in them going up in weight. Do you think Marquez believed he was all-right to fight Floyd? Even after he got cheated on the scales? No, but he took the money & ran with it.

I want to see Inoue vs Gonzalez

[SterlingStained]

You know floyd once fought five lineal or #1 guy in five straight fights over 3 divisions vs 4 different weight class champions.....true champions not paper ones but guys that either were lineal or unified

Baldomir 147 champ
Oscar 154 champ
Hatton 140 champ
Marquez 135 champ
Shane 147 champ


I find that achievement amazing, this thread just reminded me of it.. I don't think we will see that again for some time

everybody has a belt nowadays.

it wasnt like it was back then when one champ, one division. i mean just look at that list,

1. was baldomir the best fighter at 147 when floyd faced him?

no that was margarito.

2. was oscar the best 154 pounder when floyd faced him?

no, that was winky wright.

3. Hatton was champ at 140, but floyd fought him at 147 then retired when 147 was the hottest and deepest in all of boxing. not to mention collazo arguably beat hatton before floyd did.

4. Marquez sure.

the same marquez who is a career featherweight and had one fight above 130lbs when floyd fought him at welterweight in a catchweight he cheated him out of?



5. Shane had belt sure.

he was also what a couple of months shy from his 39th birthday and was coming off a year and a half of inactivity, yet was able to almost able to ko floyd. even then, was shane the best welter? it was floyd then pacquiao by then. a shot margarito feeling the brutal effects of the first cotto fight fooled everyone into thinking shane was still great.

it looks impressive what floyd did on paper but not really when you look closer into the situation.

pacquiao 2009 - hatton's ring/lineal 140 and 6 months later cotto's wbo 147.
