Quintuple World Champions

I was doing some reading earlier and was really suprised to learn that their has only ever been 4 people who have won titles in 5 different weight divisions,

The list is:

Thomas Hearns
Sugar Ray Leonard
Oscar Dela Hoya
Floyd Mayweather

Shows you just how good these fighters were

PS the list only includes fighters who won legitimate major titles in each division, not shitty belts.

If you think anyone can win any type of world title then its obvious to me you've never boxed before or that was just an admittedly exagerated statement.
