    Quality of opposition is what matters the most.

    multiple divisions mean nothing if you cherry pick one of 8 guys holding a title

    Far too much of a generalistaion there Dipset.
    Would you say Chris John was better than Humberto Soto?
    It's horses for courses.

    Taking everything at face value I tend to favour multi- divisional championships

    For instance, Armstrong's 3 weight class championships is more impressive to me than his streak of defenses at welterweight.

    Depends on Opposition, but it feels good looking back at a record and seeing a champ dominating for a certain amount of years.

    Defending your title is what boxing is about.

    It depends if you're the #1 guy in that division, or just defending a paper belt

    Cleaning out a division should be of paramount importance.

    Cleaning house in a single division is more impressive because you take on all comers, bad styles and low risk/rewards too, where cherry picking your way up in weight as your body naturally or PEDurally grows is not that special.

    Depends on who you fight and if you're the legitimate champion, or pick up paper titles.

    Depends.

    If you are in a very weak division and the guy up or down is much stronger... then changing divisions!

    If you are in a strong division and have a belt, but bolt from division to division to pick up cheap belts while avoiding the sharpest opponents, then impressive wins in the division is better!
