Guess the champ by weight class & professional career duration

More or less that, yeah. It's "guys with multiple (3+) world title reigns all within a single division and none other".

Different MW.

Yes! All four of his championship reigns (three WBC and one IBF) from 1990-1997 took place at 154lbs.

Right again! Pops visited the LHW well thrice over a nine year span: one WBC and two WBA reigns.

 

Joppy is correct! @Saintpat with the final point of GTCBWCAPCD!
