Interesting noting that quite a few boxers who don't make the GOAT list actually have had multiple titles & defenses like Lloyd Honeyghan: WBA, WBC, IBF (2) Defenses Cory Spinks WBA, WBC, IBF (2) Defenses Zab Judah WBA, WBC, IBF (1) Defense Kostya Tszyu WBA, WBC, IBF (2) Defenses Carlos Ortiz WBA, WBC (5) Defenses Pernell Whitaker WBA, WBC, IBF (3) Defenses Muhammad Ali WBA, WBC (10) Defenses I was surprised to note Bowe & Lennox had multiple titles with zero defending all & Holmes wasn't listed at all.
Ahem, Vic Darchinyan? WBA, WBC and IBF champ at 115 lbs. And this was after Donaire flattened him at 112.
Ok, when he fought Mijares & Ace? Well that classifies as "other!" 2 defenses of multiple titles WBC, WBA, IBF SuperFly? Thx, when I looked at his record I totally forgot he went on to become a title holder several more times . I kinda stopped following him after his loss to Agbeko. Especially when he took on Tomas Rojas- seemd like a confidence fight as Rojas used to post on a site I was at. Really cool guy, but he was the guy taking fights on days notice. I thought that was a step back for Vic. I don't know where I was -when he fought Perez who split one with Agbeko. But I do remember Donaire stopping him again followed up by Walters.
Oh, didn´t mean to imply that he was the best or anything. Just one of the greats from the lower weight divisions. He continued to reign as champ at 115 after his defeat to Agbeko at 118.
Also, Juan Diaz was quite the badass: unified the WBA, IBF and WBO belts at lightweight. Rare to see someone have 2 back to back unification matches.
Henry Armstrong. When there were only 8 weight divisions and 1 Champion in each, he was 3 of them. Feather, Light and Welter at the same time. Did none of you kids know this ?
