How great is it to achieve 3 titles in descending order?

Check again! :good

Funny thread, but you didn't give us a lot of option to vote Whopper.

 

my name is abe and im a mundine fan,feels good to get that off my chest

 

Let's see now:

- the second-tier version of the WBA Super Middleweight title,
- the IBO middleweight title via debateable split decision, and
- a pending title tilt at the second-tier version of the WBA Jr Middleweight belt.

I assess that body of work as fair to medium by world class boxing standards.

It's certainly arguable that a person who has been recognised as a legitimate world champion of a major sanctioning body has a more significant career achievement.

It's all relative I guess. For example, I would argue Danny Green's victory over Eric Lucas in Canada for the second-tier version of the WBC Super Middleweight title was a more significant career achievement than beating Stipe Drews in Perth for the fully-fledged version of the WBA Light Heavyweight title.

Anthony Mundine has done extremely well for an ex-footy player with no amateur background. By world class boxing standards though, his achievements are unremarkable. I mean, he's never beaten a reigning world champion of a major sanctioning body in his life.

 

Spot on. :good

 

I will when you put the "fair to medium" option up there.

 

Yeh bro, to praise da man. :nut

I gave him top marks anyway.

Frolicking around the country side, I've been back for just over a week, but couldn't be ****ed posting much.

Sad about Smokin' Joe, we all have to go some day....

it is pioneering great if you are number 1 in each division but not if you are stepping down and facing more and more inferior competition.it is a mark of a true fighter who can fight in multiple weight divisions and win titles in each.hatton and calzaghe both achieved it but not decending
