    Always surprizes me when I see how many boxing fans are also wrestling fans, these are grown men too.

    5 times world champion means the fighter has won 5 championships total regardless of the weight class (ie 2 titles at lightweight and 3 at welterwight)

    5 division champ mean champion in five different weight classes
