    Leo Gamez won titles in four divisions, but, it's patently ridiculous to claim that his legacy is any greater than, say Ricardo Lopez or a Myung-Woo Yuh (who defeated Gamez twice).

    where you got that list? it's very good.

    I agree with you 100%. When fighters win at least 3 divisional titles they must be regarded as exceptional fighters.

    That's not my list buddy that's the list I've found in the International Boxing Hall of Fame Website (IBHOF) and probably they don't know who the **** PBF is. :lol: Kidding aside . . . probably they haven'y updated it.

    Here's the link check it yourself
    http://www.ibhof.com/ibhfmult.htm

    On SRL . . . what do you mean some of the titles are suspect? Are you trying to belie history? :think

    Which is why it's a good thing ESB wasn't around, because then we'd have 1000 posts talking about how Robinson was a quitter who had no heart. :lol:

    Oh okay I got what you mean. :yep

    Yeah that's because the governing bodies allowed and sanctioned it so it's official and it goes down the record book and in boxing history.

    We cannot dispute that now.

    Also to add a name to the list, RJJ won titles at 4 divisions- Middleweight, Super Middleweight, Light Heavy, and Heavy. Even if the HW win isn't included (which it probably would be since it looks like the IBHOF counts any and every belt), that's still 3.

    I told you, I hear all the time that Ali is the best ever, but why Ali even said SRR was better?

    I guess that was cos Robinson was a multiple division champ, rite?

    Robinson was ARGUABLY better than every fighter on that list, and definitely better than a lot of them.

    Seriously, anyone who doesn't know Robinson was better than De La Hoya doesn't know enough about boxing to matter.
