    The new ring ratings list Joe Calzaghe as both SMW and LHW champ:
    http://www.thering-online.com/ringpages/ratings2.html

    Can you guys please list other fighters that have held two or more lineal championships at the same time? Not titleholders but only lineal champions.

    For instance:

    (Yes) Henry Armstrong - Featherweight, Lightweight and Welterweight Simultaneously

    (No) Ricky Hatton - JWW Champ, Welterweight titleholder

    Hopefully, someone can list some fighters. I am very curious to see how many in history have pulled this off.

    But, can you list any other fighters who were multi-division lineal champs simultaneously? I just want to brush up on my boxing history...

    We got:
    Joe Calzaghe
    Henry Armstrong

    Im a Calzaghe fan but its contentious at best to suggest he is linear at LHW.

    Erdei has the strongest claim. Though I hate acknowledging it.

    OK, then we can call him the REAL champ, Ring champ, LHW Champion of the World... not sure what else. But he is listed as the champ for both 168 and 175.

    Instead of arguing the point, can anyone list any REAL simultaneous multi-division champions?

    Im not sure. I think some fighters who have done it before have offically retired from the division they reighned at before winning the next ring belt, therefore taking them off the magazines lists.

    Which weight classes did he hold two divisions championships simultaneously? Was it JLW and LW?

    Im down with that. You pose a good question...I don't think beating DLH at 154 was enough for him to capture the ring belt was it?

    Can't think of anyone thats did at simultaenously tbh.

    Correct. He was also the WBC champ at WW and JMW simultaneously.

    But, JMW was just a title not Ring Champion... Same with his JWW title.
