Don't know for sure but I'm guessing Ali is the only other HW to have achieved that.
Plenty have won more than two fighter of the years from ring. Plenty have won more than two ring title fights.
Kinda like Pac's 8 divisions innit?

If in the 100 year history of the ring only two maybe 3 have done it, it has to be impressive, no?

If you'd have told me the clumsy kid who punched himself in the face on ITV would achieve what he's achieved I'd have said you're the biggest fool on the planet.
Fair play to Tyson, he's done amazing to achieve what he has.

I love how he's put his signature smack bang in the centre of someone's painting

The x2 champ though is less so. He won both of his two title fights and got stripped between them for sitting on ass. No, no one ever did that before. Plenty have more than two title fights though. That's the one that's a bit Pacish because it's alone but it's also a bit of semantics. Especially from a lot who talks so much about never losing X in the ring.
FOTY x2 or more:
Louis
Marciano
Charles
Patterson
Johanson
Ali
Frazier
Foreman
Tyson
Holyfield

I hope Bob makes sure that's it's a fair fight. We all know that AJ is usually allowed to call his own breaks.

If there is any pretense title that bugs me being a pretense title it's the BE titles. Especially Langford. If I was Fury I'd be proud to hold both Langford and Johnson's titles. That's pretty ****ing cool.

Originally posted by Marchegiano View PostAny idea if he displays his lesser titles in another case? I quite like the BBBoC, commonwealth, and EBU belts. Historically respectable. Guys like Langford, Godfrey, Gains, you know, dudes who probably would have been world champ if the world champ fought them.
