Which is easier? DOMINATE ONE DIVISION or WIN TITLES IN MULTIPLE?

Depends on the competition. You can jump up in weight and win multiple belts against **** title holders and at the same time you can dominate a ****-poor division. Who you fight is more important.

 

i agree. dominating the heavyweights of the 70s is far better than jumping around a shitty division to another shitty division, beating lesser champions. Who you beat is most important, as well as how and when you beat them.

 

Moving up in weight is definetley harder.

If you climb your way to the top of a certian weight class, you have already proven your superiority over the other fighters in said class, the ONLY way to build on that is to beat the best in a heavier class.

Defending your title 10 times in a class you have already proven to be the best in is a waste of time.

 

Multiple weight classes.

 

hmm says... none is easy but moving up is harder. Dominating one division gives you the benefit of maintaining and fighting comfortably in your weight.

 

with 4 belts per Division these days anyone can cherrypick the worst beltholder and get a belt. It is harder to clean out a Division.

 

Not if you're the best fighter in the division.

 

Multiple divisions

 

Depends on the quality of opponent, Ali dominated a great HW division. Tyszu dominated a weak 140lb division and didnt face the best at 140 in his time either (DLH, SSM, FMJ).

Then you have DLH who is a 6weight belt holder who didnt prove to be truly great in any weight class.

Then what about fighters who move up to higher weight classes because they can't get a shot in their natural weight class - Napoles, Langford, Burley

 

you can fight the fourth best fighter in 3 seperate divisions and still pick up world titles in those divisions. you can also stay in one division and fight three #2 ranked fighters in a row. as already stated, it all depends on the strength of oposition you are facing. if you move up and face the best fighter in each division then that is harder than facing a round robin in your division.

 

Yes, it all depends on if the division is weak or not. For instance dominating the welterweight division (having all 4 belts) today is not easy.

 

Depends on who you fight.

 

its different in each scenario. You have someone like Valero who is now a 2 weight world champ in this case the multiple weight champ. But if he had stayed at 130 and cleaned out JMM, Pacman and Joan GuZman and dominated that weight i would call it a far greater achievement.

 

I agree with you. You cant just say one or the other it really comes down to who your fighting. In todays boxing its not really that hard for a good fighter to move up in weight and pick up two or three belts in different weights. thier are four belts to pick in every weight. Not all the fighters that are holding belts are truely good fighters.

dominating one weight can or couldnt be impressive once again it depends on who your fighting. Lets say that one of the guys at 168 cleans out the weight that would be impressive. But its not impressive right now if someone did it at 135 were there are only a few good fighter minus JMM who appears to be moving on to bigger name fights.
