Canelo to become the first boxer to hold 3 Championship in 3 division simultaneously?

[CoachMac34]

I believe all of us thought about Henry Armstrong! You gotta know your boxing history on this site. A lot of sharp minds here.

plus he is not a real champ at 168..Armstrong was " lineal" in 3 divisions at once

over a larger weight span too. From 126 till 147. Weight differences make a bigger difference in these lighter weights too. Plus most people think he deserved the win when he fought for the 160 lbs title but they ruled it a draw.

So when(not if) King Canelo K.Os Kovalev, will he become the first boxer to hold a championship in three division simultaneously?

Edit. At least for a while before vacating one division.

nope, Armstrong was the first and only one. Back then wasn't jr's weight. I think only 7 or 8 weight class.

It will be just as credible as Broner and his 3 division claim.
(Disregarding that Henry was)

Henry fought for the MW too. Official result was a draw, I read that some press had it a win for him. It was against a Philippine fighter that threw a lot of bolo punch. That's what I recall.

They only had 1 title per division back than . But to be fair Armstrong would hold 5 today because they had no 130 or 140 and who knows he could be holding 154 since he was inches from winning the Middleweight title . So Armstrong surpasses Floyd by far as TBE

Ever hear of Henry Armstrong?

Regardless of Armstrong

Canelo should get huge Props if he pulls it off , Simultaneously 3 Division Champ it only took 1 Gift decision from the Judges , Snatching 1 off a C level fighter for 1 Of the 13 Secondary WBA World Titles & Beating a near 37 year old on the slide who once was the man but now is the weakest Title Holder in the Division, Talk about earning your way into the history books

It’s just another example of how F.ucked up the sport has become especially in the last 10 years , Past Achievements that only could be accomplished by almost exclusively ATG / HOF Fighters

now with the help of a powerful team , The Pure Greed Of the Sport & Sanctioning Organizations & smart moves made at the opportune Time. What was once considered
Legacy Defining Accomplishments & Historical Achievements can be pulled off in some cases by Fighters who are Barely even B class and could only get in the HOF if they bought a Ticket

Standards have dropped more than Tito's bank account.

Like you say, those accomplishments from the past won't be touched. The powers that be have seen to that. Sad, really.
