    I would put Hearns near the top. He was the first man to win titles in 4 and then 5 weight divisions. He was the first welterweight to win a title at Light heavyweight (2 times). He was the first man to win a middleweight title after winning the light heavyweight title.

    Pacquaio is far too high. Above Hearns and Duran ? You're having a laugh.

    Robinson started at lightweight up to middle beating all time greats fighters in all 3 of those weight classes exactly the same amount of weight jumping as charles who started at middle to heavy. Burley started at welter and beat great fighters at welter, middle and light heavy and also beat heavyweight.

    If this is the greatest multi title wins, then Duran is not high at all. He did beat Ray but then Ray beat him easy in the rematch. Then Duran beat Moore and Barkley to win his next titles. Hearns beat Cueves,Benitez,Roldan and Hill for 4 of his 5 titles. 3 of those were HOF fighters.
