what current fighters are capable of winning world titles in 5 divisions...

but what if the 5 time champ has 3 lineals

wouldnt you be impressed?? :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

Who gives a damn about lineals? :huh

Doesn't necessarily make you the best in the division, just because you beat the lineal champ, does it?

 

Maybe Ivan Calderon? His power is already a non factor so it's not like he's giving that up when he moves up. He would be harder for those bigger guys to catch than greesed lightning.

 

it's not that better if the division is weak.

 

of course it is not necessary...

but lineals are lineals. you beat "THE MAN" in that division most of the time

having a 5 belts complimented by 3 lineals is a rare feat in boxing. :good

 

That's true.

In the end, it doesn't much matter, unless you beat some great fighters along the way.

 

Yeah, but "the man" is not always the man...:deal

 

lol. imagine calderon fighting hasegawa or penalosa.

 

:good

 

yes... but WHAT if that division is weak ? :deal

 

As I said...it doesn't matter what belts you win, what divisions you unify, etc...it only matters whom you beat!:deal

It's better to fight in one division, and beat the very best, than climb through a couple of divisions and beat lesser fighters...

 

at 130 on fight night he weighs in at 144lbs!

 

Not necessarily that great...there's only 13 pounds between strawweight and bantam; only 13 between flyweight and featherweight...not that big a gap to bridge in a ten year career at the top

 

as many titles as there are now adays...quiet a few
