Werent his first 2 titles WBO's? And this is during a time when the WBO wasn't really counted? I'll say one thing that certain fighters get special treatment with belts When Gamboa had the WBA regular title and fought Salido it was a unification fight When someone like Povetkin had the WBA regular it was trinket made up title Rios had the WBA regular and it was considered a legit title it makes no sense some guys have the same belts and one guys is real when anothers is a fraud
I don't know if I'd credit him for having that WBO title itself so much as I would for the actual comp he was beating. He was beating decent guys like Troy Dorsey, Jeff Mayweather and a few other respectable men with less than a dozen pro fights and doing it emphatically.
If Roman Gonzalez winning the vacant interim WBA Light Flyweight belt counts as one of his division titles, then yes. The WBO belt may have been a lesser title back in the day, but NOTHING means less these days than a vacant interim WBA title, at light flyweight no less.
