Trivia question

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Who is the only fighter to hold a version of all four major titles (WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO) individually from within the same weight class?

*Titles have to be held INDIVIDUALLY. So holding unified titles does not count, so B-Hop, Usyk, Crawford etc do not count.

give us a clue , e.g. what weight or what decade?

I'm thinking Manuel Medina. I know he's been IBF, WBC, WBO but not sure on WBA.

Am I warm at least?

Tszyu came close. Holding IBF, WBC, IBF as a standalone champion but his WBA was when he was undisputed.

It would probably too easy then.

Medina was a great shout, had to double check myself but he never held a version of the WBA

Immediately thought Mike Tyson... But he didnt have the WBO. (Started in 1988)

I think Bowe is the only heavyweight who's held all four belts but he was WBC/WBA/IBF then dropped the WBC and lost the WBA/IBF and ended up winning the WBO later.

Katsunari Takayama held the WBC, IBF and WBO Minimumweight titles at different times. He failed to get the WBA one though. Damn, I was so close!
