    Which fighters who have one world championships in three or more weight classes have dominated the final division they won a title in?

    Ray Leonard didn't dominate at light heavy, jones didnt't at heavy, pacquiao hasn't done so at light middle.............

    who has?

    i mean it's rare for even a 1 division champion to be dominant when he retires. Even moreso for fighters who move up in weight.

    Bob Fitzsimmons Dominated heavyweight after stepping up from middleweight, until Jeffries eventually got to him.

    There are not very many at all, when you think about it. Jeff Fenech is another famous one who met his weight limit (combined with old age)
