It has been 15 years since there has been a 4 belt title holder in the sport

12 years – Hopkins and Taylor in 2005. Plus Braekhus today.

I'll stomp on Kostya Tszyu - Floyd PB Mayweather

[NEETzsche]

I hope he or Indongo defends all four of them at least once

The accomplishments in women's boxing should never be put on the same level as those of the men.

The competition and difficulty of achieving things is much higher on the men's side.

Damn right. This right here!

I'd take Tszyu to win over Crawford, prime v prime. At this point, at least. Crawford hasn't fought elite opposition. It's a good collection of belts, though.

Pretty much. I laughed during the broadcast of that clarissa shields fight when farhood mentioned that there was only like 20 pro women boxers at 168 in the world. Accomplishing something in such a shallow talent pool is nearly meaningless....i mean that heavy bag that she fought was a "champion".

Kostya Tszyu did it when the WBO wasn't relevant.

Plus he did it by KTFO the other champions one by one...and all of those champs were elite quality.

Indongo's best win is against an over the hill Ricky Burns FFS.

That said good luck to Crawford, I can't wait until he moves up, he's a great talent and we'll see the best of him at 147 amd possibly even 154 later on.

You could argue that Crawford has a better resume at 140 compared to Tszyu
