Fighters that earned their titles?

I'd say Roberto Duran. Buchannan and Leonard were obviously tough fights. Davey Moore was a softer touch but no pushover. Barkley wasn't great but he'd knocked out Hearns and considering Duran was 37 at the time, I'd say Duran damn sure earned it the hard way.

Floyd Mayweather!!!!

No vacant titles.Beat a champ for every damn one of his titles

I agree.

Mayweather always fought champions for his belts.

Trinidad too. Won the IBF off Blocker, unified against unbeaten De La Hoya with the WBC. Moved to 154 beat unbeaten Reid for WBA and unified IBF with unbeaten Vargas then won WBA 160 against Joppy.

Most multi-weight champions had a vacant belt in there or a gimme but not Tito.

I was thinking about him. Yes, good breakdown.

WAR TITO!

James Toney never had anything handed to him in my opinion. He was an excellent fighter. He did get a couple of gifts in his first few defenses though.
