Are Mayweathers 12 world titles the most won by a boxer?

That's a good question, I'm not too sure, would be interested in an answer too

 

Way too many titles.....1 champion per weight class is the only solution.

 

he only goes for WBC titles for the most part. Not like he is roy jones jr picking any title he could find.

 

He didn,t win 12 WBC titles....doesn,t matter he,s still one of the best fighters i,ve ever seen

140

147
WBC 2x, IBF, WBA, WBO

154
WBC 2x, WBA

Where is the 12th one? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am forgetting the last one. I know there are ring titles, lineal, WBC diamond, super wba, etc.

 

If you consider Pac to have won in 8 different divisions, then he's actually won 16 by the same token.

 

5 of the titles I included in the 16 figure are The Ring titles.

Pac only won a Ring title at 126 - which means if you include Pac's "titles in 8 different weight classes" then you also think Mayweather has won 16 titles.

 

so the ring or lineage was counted separately? What about when he wont the ring at 154?

 

For what its worth:

Chavez fought in 37 world title fights, winning 31 of them.

Chavez also defended his various belts 27 times in a row without defeat.

Chavez also has the longest undefeated run in boxing history with 89 consecutive victories over 13 years.

 

In his early days he got disq against a journeyman....
