    hhascup: Pedro Carrasco

    B: ...and a world champion whos entire championship career consisted of 2 triples.
    hhascup: Duilio Loi

    C: Name a worldchampionship triple that was fought in 2 different weightclasses.
    Shobox: Duran-Leonard

    D: .... and one that was fought in 3 different weightclasses.

    1SILVA: Carlos Ortiz

    H: One of the latest world championship triples was Ruiz-Holyfield. Overall that triple didn't have a winner as there was one win a piece and a draw. Name other fighters where the overall result was 1-1-1 in their world championship fights.
