Good fighters win titles @ least @ 3 different divisions

Totally agree!!! tho i think Hearns should have stayed at middle, he never looked sharp at the above weights; his best defence was always his quick offence...OK, Hearns did redeem himself by winning the 4th belt against Rolden(was it?) and then I wish he had retired after Virgil Hill.

My all time favorite boxer tho Hagler had it all..

 

I don't know why the thread has gone mad but if we are talking about good fighters who won titles in at least 3 divisions then Barrera and Morales have to be there. Althought they are not just good fighters, they are great legends.

 

i dont agree with this post i mean such fighters like these didnt win at 3 different weights

Marvin Hagler
Aaron Pryor
Kostya Tszyu
Carlos Monzon
Micael Spinks
Joe Calzaghe

and i bet there are heaps more.

 

Winning belts in three different weight classes can be a SIGN of greatness, but it is not a requirement at all.

 

Best way to sum it up yet.

 

what so your saying Monzon's reign at 160 isnt good enough to call the man Great.

or Hagler's reign at 160 or Tszyu's at 140 or Spinks's reign at 175.

Thats BS just because you dont win belts at 3 divisions doesnt mean you cant be great.
what it means is you work harder and dont put on weight like other guys do. it takes a true champ to have a reign at 1 division for more than 6 years.
MOnzon would be classed as the greatest 160 fighter of all time. yet because he doesnt own a belt at 168 or 175 means his worthless to you.

well not this fan.

 

Arturo Gatti nearly became a 3 division titlist.
And if a fighter like Gatti could nearly become a 3 division champ then I think you can see the significance of it right there.

Gatti beat a pretty good fighter in Patterson to get a belt at 130, but its safe to say he didnt beat the best fighter at 130.

After winning some and loosing some and getting extremely popular whilst doing it, Gatti was basically handed a belt @ 140 because people like watching him.

After the Mayweather beating it was clear how far away Gatti was from the elite. He was then handed another shot because of his position with the networks and was spanked by an average but bigger fighter.

 

We should only count the real weight classes. None of the super- or junior- titles should be included.

 

It's possible (and I cant think of an exception at the top of my head because it's 3am, and I'm not going to bother doing any research about this) that every single fighter who has titles in 3 divisions is great. I'll concede that HYPOTHETICALLY. But that doesn't mean that you can't be great without having titles in 3 divisions and it doesn't mean that having title's in 3 divisions makes you greater than a fighter who doesn't.

Didn't SRR only have belts at WW and MW for god's sakes. Surely Trinidad isn't greater than Robinson.
