sorry Actually he was lineal at featherweight too..If PAc moves to Lightweight and beats Casamayor..He'll join Armstrong and Fitzimimons as the only three fighters to win three lineal titles in three original weights. wow
I only count lineal 3-division Champs: -Bob Fitzsimmons -Henry Armstrong -Tony Canzoneri -Barney Ross -Ray Leonard -Oscar de la Hoya -Floyd Mayweather
damn, good list...i always forget what great accomplishments ross had. Feather, lightweight and welterweight, right?
Some debate Mayweather's. And the debate isn't about him, more so about how Lineal titles are created once vacated. Some say a unification of the WBA and WBC, some say a unification of WBA, WBC, and IBF (the WBO has never been included, at least not yet) and some say a fight between the recognized #1 and #2 in the division (recognized by WHO is the question)
He was Lightweight, Jr. Welterweight and Welterweight Champ. I didn't remember, so I checked BoxRec. He won, at the same time, the Lightweight and Jr. Welterweight title...while fighting at 135 pounds. That stuff shouldn't be allowed, in my opinion. Canzoneri was Champ at Featherweight, Lightweight and Jr. Welterweight. He also had a draw for the Bantamweight title.

He was ROBBED!!! The outcome of that fight pissed me off so much He was beating the **** out of Agapito Sanchez, and Aggy wanted anyway out of it and did so by fighting dirty, he should of been DQ'd. and Raul Caiz is a freaking moron with his ******ed scorecard.
