    Morales being given the verdict he deserved vs Diaz to become Mexico`s first 4 weight champion springs to mind.

    Well, Ray Robinson is 30 years before Leonard :lol:

    And no, not really. Catchweigths were fought but not regularly for titles, and there wasn't as many titles to fight for.

    In short, you had to fight the best to be considered a 'World Champion', not Gatti :lol:

    I.e Hatton wouldn't be considered a 'two weight champ', he migth not have even been a champ at 140.

    You said 'in the days of.....'

    They were different days.

    EDIT: To be honest I don't wanna be rude.

    Very good shout. Morales beat him and was nowhere near his prime...shocking decision and one that stopped a man sealing a immense legacy.

    Hatton beat the best fighter at 140, why wouldn't he have been considered the champ?

    I follow boxing heavily nowadays, and have a fair knowledge of classic, but nothing compared to some of the guys on here.
    I think my injustice, off the top of my head would be reid v ottke, or even better RJJ in the olympics. Someone summed it up better saying the guy who won gold was shown up, and made a fool of in front of the world, and it would have been far kinder to make the right decision, give him his silver, and recognise a true atg

    Yeah there's some guys on here who know so so much about the 40's and 50's fighters and classic wars that most wouldn't of heard of. It's nice to see and read about fighters you never knew...every day i'm learning about the classic fighters and fighters who even i never heard of.
