Here's my ATG rankings of the exclusive members of 5 division champion club 1. Sugar Ray Leonard 2. Manny Pacquiao 3. Tommy Hearns 4. Floyd Mayweather Jr. 5. Oscar De La Hoya
Leonard Pac Hearns May- Delahoya Mayweather will go up if he can beat Pac, which i think he will. But as of right know ill stick with this.
In terms of what? Because no way as a fighter is Pacquaio better than mayweather or Hearns and you'll see that in his Marth 13th schooling.
I disagree with the term champion and would prefer calling them 5 division belt holders. Your ranking is fine with me. :good
Out of this list who is the best 5 Division champ? Leonard for me is not 5 division champ, either is DLH. Who is the real 5 division champ.
Lets look at each under the spotlight (in terms of how real their championships were) Leonard 147 - linear/unified clear no1 154 - partial title holder 160 - linear 168 - created a new division for a vacant belt 175 - made a partial title holder come down 7lbs Hearns 147 - partial title holder 154 - unified champ/linear although didnt face McCallum 160 - partial titlist 168 - vacant belt 175 - 2 time partial champ Pacquaio 115 - ?? 122 - partial titlist 126 - linear champ 130 - linear champ on a questionable decision 135 - partial titlist against the weakest titlist 140 - linear champ 147 - partial titlist against a titlist who came down 2lbs in weight mayweather 130 - linear 135 - linear 140 - partial titlist 147 - linear 154 - partial titlist Delahoya 130 - partial titlist against weakest titlist 135 - part unified of 2 weaker titlists 140 - linear although a weak linear titlist 147 - linear 154 - linear 160 - partial titlist against weakest champ
Armstrong today would be a 6 divison champion with all the titles that are flying around. With this many champions, I no longer think TODAY, it relly means anything. Hell Ruiz was beating by Jones Jr, and people make a big deal out of this. Had this many alpha titles been around in there day, I can say with good faith, that Ross, Greb, Walker, Fitz, Canzi, Robinson, and others would have repeated this feat imo.
Depends what we're judging them by but Leonard was the best, followed by Hearns. Delahoya is probably at the bottom of the lot for me in terms of ability. Pacquaio has a better resume in terms of names than Mayweather but is an inferior boxer, which should be proven in the ring PEDs or not
I did not mean the best fighter out of them but the one with the best claim to be a 5 division champ, with all these belts around these days who was the "realest" 5 division champ. I had Oscar losing to Sturm so that rules him out. I don't have Leonard winning the 175 title as winning two belt's at once does not cut it, so Leonard is out. Who is the closest to having the 5 best wins for the 5 belts in the 5 wieght classes? Leonard has the best wins overall but I don't have him winning the 175 title.
