    Reason for 1960 is because its the beginning of dual belts. Anyway, just a top 10 overall for triple champs(or more).

    1.Sugar Ray Leonard
    2.Roberto Duran
    3.Pernell Whitaker
    4.Floyd Mayweather JR
    5.Roy Jones JR
    6.Thomas Hearns
    7.Julio Cesar Chavez
    8.Alexis Arguello
    9.Felix Trinidad
    10.Manny Pacquiao(stock keeps on rising though)

    Everyone up to #8 should be higher than Floyd. He simply didn't do enough at any of the weight classes aside from 130.

    Jones did a good amount of work at 160, 168, and 175.

    Chavez did a very good amount of work at 130 and 140, with wins over Rosario and Ramirez at 135.

    Arguello did very good work at 126, 130, and 135.

    Hearns did very impressive work at 147 and 154, and continued to be successful at 160 and up to 175 where he beat Virgil Hill.

    I don't see how Floyd compares in resume. Any reason for leaving off Oscar anyway?

    Good point, i might have to reconsider. 130-147 is really the only note worthy battles he had.(1 fight at 154 with oscar is not really impressive.)
    135-140 he certainly did not do much. Im gonna have to put the Pretty boy lower.

    Well, I don´t make lists any more so I won´t post one but I think Duran and Leonard are in a league of their own above the rest with Sweet Pea and Chavez following again a step above the others and then the rest is pretty close. You should include DLH.

    There has not been one, let alone ten, three division champions since 1960 unless you bring alphabet crap in.

    My list is thus:
