          though the time gap is shorter, i think b-hop accomplishment is greater.

          multiple titles in multiple divisions and he still have that aura of p4p fighter eventhough he's already 46 years old while many critics view foreman accomplishment is only one time thing

                  no.. not only that we're talking about the time gap between the first lineal held to their last.

                  i think in that aspect bhop accomplishment is still better eventhough his time is shorter

                    Not even close? Really? Won championship belts 20 years apart and lineal championships 12 years apart. (or maybe arguably lineal 20 years apart depending on how you at it). He was even older than foreman when he did it. Pretty close I'd say.
