Who are the legitimate Champions in the divisions?

LW - No one
JWW - No one
WW - Mayweather
JMW - No one
MW - Martinez
SMW - Either Ward or no one
LHW - Hopkins
CW - Hernandez or no one
HW - Klitschko

 

MW - Martinez
SMW - Ward/Bute should happen to tell us who is the legit
LHW - Dawson or Hopkins, your pick
CW - should make a Super 6 tournament with Huck, Wlodarczyk, Hernandez, Jones, Afolabi and Lebedev to tell us who is legit
HW- I think everyone knows

 

Don't you see Marquez as the champ at 135lbs? Or do you think Rios (or even DeMarco) has done enough to keep him out of that spot?

Nah, still got Bradley, and possibly even Khan in the mix (depending on what happens in the rematch) at 140lbs. Garcia hasn't done enough.

 

This. Although for the heavies it's just Wlad.

 

No. Garcia won his title off a paper champ. Peterson is a unified champ, but not the legitimate champ. Pacquiao was the last legitimate champ at 140. Bradley is the only other guy you could make a case for considering he unified against Alexander who was arguably no.2 at the time.

There's more than one? Seriously though, they unless they fight eachother, neither can have a traditional claim to the legit title. However, you can't expect them to fight eachother. Therefore, they are co-champs. Yes, I just made that up, but it makes the most sense.

 

Marquez doesn't fight at LW anymore

 

I disagree. They gave him the Ring belt after beating Chageav, who was number 3 at the time. You can't expect him to fight number 2, so he and his brother share the title. They always get treated as one person as it is anyway.

 

HW- Wladamir
LHW-Bernard Hopkins
SMW-Andre Ward
MW-Sergio Martinez
WW-Floyd Mayweather
LM-Miguel Cotto

 

My mistake, didn't realise his next bout was at 140lbs atsch

 

Demarco? No. Definitely not. Rios has more of a claim to it if Marquez is really out of the division with who he's beaten. Demarco wins a paper WBC belt and suddenly he's the man?

Cotto has beaten...Foreman, Mayorga, and Marg at JrMW. Not any of the top guys in the division, Martinez has fought more top JrMWs than Cotto. So no.

 

:huh
