    It is not about how many divisions but who he fought to get those!

    Superfeatherweight - Genaro Hernandez

    Lightweight - Castillo

    Light welter - Gatti

    Welter - Judah - IBF, Baldomir - WBC, IBA

    Light middleweight - Oscar Dela Hoya

    Sure, it reeks of greatness.

    Firstly I never once mentioned anything about titles, if you read the thread it says last boxer in history who went through 5 weightclasses undefeated. Titles are a mere bonus.

    So try again.:deal

    And by the way that list is pretty damn good. 5 stand out names right there. Apart from Baldomir who wasn't well known.

    He must be on PEDs - That'll be my General Forum answer anyway.

    If you want a proper answer, here goes. For one, undefeated records dont really mean to much to me in boxing. Kell Brook is 25-0, Povetkin is unbeaten, I could go on. Sugar Ray Robinson (most people's number 1 ever, lost 19 times). Harry Greb (my number 1), lost 8 times. While being unbeaten is good, I prefer to see how fighters come back from defeat ala Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore (but hey, thats me).

    As for successful weight climbers, how about Armstrong. The guy held titles at Featherweight, WW and Middle at the same time. Floyd, who started at SFW, has only managed to claim titles up to LMW. Another is Sam Langford. He beat Joe Gans (top 3 LW ever) just above the LW limit, and went on to knock out Heavyweights, and would have probably beaten Jack Johnson if he had the balls to fight him again. Ezzard charles started as a Feather in the Ams and won the World HW title. Bob Fitzsimmons started at the WW limit and beat HW's while weighing only 165 lbs. Should I go on?

    Blade bummer wont be happy with your valid points, he thought he was a real smart guy by putting up a question that he knew only had 1 answer, with the sole intention of jamming his tongue a little further up floyds arse

    ok blade bummer, here's a question, name another 8 division world champion?, there i can be a **** too

    Well known but none of them you can call great maybe Oscar but he was shot into pieces when Floyd fought him. Still good though and impresive untill Pac 8 division titles overshadowing it.

    Chavez went 89-0 and looking at his record it looks like he may have fought in 7 divisions before he lost (118-147).

    Thanks for the contribution. Kell Brook did indeed fight at several different weightclasses, he once fought at 160lbs against a guy who had a record of 24-139-7 :lol:

    Nevertheless I'm gonna add him to the list.

    Povetkin is a heavyweight has he fought in 5 different weight divisions in his pro career? I'm not sure he has.:nono

    Armstrong didn't go through 5 division undefeated, I don't even think he made 4 divisions undefeated, he had to many losses along the way.

    I can see you missed the point of the thread. How many boxers have gone through 5 weightclasses undefeated.
