    How many fighters have won WBO, WBC, WBA, IBF and the Ring title in the same weight division? The complete package!

    Hopkins, Calzaghe for certain.

    Maybe's?

    Winky Wright - everything at 154lb???
    Riddick Bowe?

    Cheers

    However, the WBO title was not one of them. Jones never captured that one in his career.

    Yep, he never won the WBO title because DM held it for 20+ defences.

    Hey what the IBO, IBU,WBU, WBF, NBA? How can you consider yourself having the full package without being a WAA champion?;)

    But to answer your question; Bowe won WBA,WBC, IBF and WBO but tripped up on The Ring piece of crap because he fought (at the top) in an era where The Ring rated fighters as #1 in their divison rather than champ. Although he would of got a Ring belt for being their 1992 fighter of the year.

    I think Kostya Tszyu came close. Lewis after holyfield (if it was a win)?

    I think Hopkins and later Taylor are the only ones to hold all four major titles at the same time. Calzaghe would have achieved that had he not been stripped of the IBF title. Winky Wright did indeed hold every title at 154lbs over time, but not at once. Same with Bowe.
