I think Mayweather, Hearns, Pacquiao, Mikey Garcia have. I made a thread about this type of accomplishments. But they didn't do it with a total of 8 fights.

Can someone explain why the weight gaps between the lower divisions are so small in comparison to the higher weights?

They're really not. As a % of body weight, it's all pretty close until the huge jump from 75-200. For instance, the difference between 108-112, as a percent, is the same as 135-140. Same is true for 118-122 and 168-75. Some of the gaps are narrow (05-08, 15-18) but most are around .95-.96 increase per class.

I see. Interesting.

I wonder what history he could make next year.

Inoue just received a hefty honor right here.

If there were a welterweight like this, he could probably beat mayweather, too bad there aren't any welterweights like Inoue.

Nice to see another little guy getting big credit. He's looking like a hell of a fighter.
