Greatest Of All Time In More Than 1 Weight Class?

Joe Louis

Cruiseweight and heavyweight

 

Jose napoles is top 3 at 140 and 147

 

Maybe Greb at 160 and 175.

Uhh Lopez at 105 and 108 (Lopez is not the best at 108 bit if we're asking...)

Armstrong is top 3 at 126 and 147.

 

I don't agree, but you can make the case for J.C. Chavez at 130 and 140. He's up there in both divisions.

Interestingly he peaked at 135 against Rosario IMO

You can argue for S.R. Robinson at 147 and 160.

 

McCallum (154, 160).

He beat an unbeaten Graham, unbeaten Collins, Watson (just beat an unbeaten Benn), arguably an unbeaten Toney twice and avenged Kalambay (who was seemingly unbeatable on points) defeat with a masterclass; mostly in opponents backyards. He's right up there at 160 in reality.

 

There's no argument, McCallum met Toney 3 times lost 2 and drew one
McCallum, though a fine fighter has no basis for a claim as number one at 160lbs.

 

He won the first two Toney fights on most experts scorecards. The 3rd encounter was a chubby, fat, 45 year old in there...

 

Well one could add Joe Gans who perhaps was more welterweight yet fought mostly at lightweight cause welterweight didn't have the money to be made as it was a new division and didn't have the historical heritage as lightweight
division Yet he fought Walcott and young Langford and a tough lightweight division

 

The only opinions that matter are those of the officials involved ,all three voted for Toney in their last fight ,2 in their second, the other official scored it a draw.

 

Ruby Bob Fitzsimmons as a MW who destroyed Non.Jack Dempsey and as a 165 lb LH who destroyed heavyweights such as Tom Sharkey, Peter Maher Jim Corbett, battered the much heavier Jim Jeffries, while old, might have beaten any LH in history when Fitz was YOUNG...Because of his heavyweight shoulders and lightweight lower torso, Fitz was described by John L Sullivan as "a man walking on stilts "...But when YOUNG and up to the age of about 32
Ruby Robert might have beaten any MW and LH...Might very well have !

 

Yeah I'm talking middleweight for McCallum, not cruiserweight...

 

Maybe Fitz hit a down-
ward “spike” for an early weigh-in, then used the coming 24 hours to gain
back pounds and enter the the ring over his official limit.
He looked bigger then his weighr in some pics to me
In his autobiography, Jim Jeffries said when he and Fitz worked together in training.
Near the end of
Jeffries’s career, after his exhibition bout with Jack Munroe, Jeff and Fitz went
to a Turkish bath in Salt Lake City after one of their shows, they each weighed
on the scales. Jeff was 235, Fitz 202.The men had not been inactive for a long
period, since they had either fought or been at work together most of the
past year. They went into the steam room for fifteen minutes and came out
to cool off. Over the next few hours, they repeated the procedure five or six
times. Afterward they slept into the forenoon, and on rising, Jeff wondered
how much they might have lost. Jeff had lost 18 pounds, Fitz 24.
maybe Fitz was little heavier by fightime

 

Those long ago days when fighters weighed in on the day of the fight, Fitz was always on target weight. Remember when Fitz fought some large HWTs he wasn't looking to deprive himself
of a decent meal as he would have as a 160 pound MW or over...
Old man Fitz was a most destructive chap in his younger days. Yessir...
