    The 4 division beltholder thing has been the most used feat to try and prove he's actually a very good boxer. The problem is (pun somewhat intended) that 3 of the 4 fights he done it with were clear cherrypicks, and 2 of those 4 belts were vacant.
    If Hurd decided to move up to middleweight and Thurman went for one of his vacant belts fighting a guy like Brandoon Cook, then moved up for another vacant one left by Canelo at 160 to finally settle for a SD against by far the weakest beltholder at 168
    to catch a 4th weight belt, should even be way more impressive as what Broner did.

    Broner is in no way a bad fighter, but he was manufactured to be a star.

    We Brits have our own 1 less version; I cringe when Duke McKenzie is introduced on the TV and Radio as...'3 weight division World Champion Duke McKenzie'....Jeezus wept.

    Robney is right that being a four time belt holder is far from being a four division champion.
