    PR 3 division world champions:

    Wilfredo Vazquez:

    -Went to Seoul to KO Park
    -Went to Mexico to KO Raul "Jibaro" Perez for the WBC title
    -Went to Vegas to KO Eloy Rojas

    Correct me if I was wrong but Vasquez was the underdog for these three fights and came out wining via KO all three of them.

    Felix Trinidad:

    -Became a 3 division world champ undefeated.
    -Six belts: 3 at WW, 2 at SWW and 1 at MW

    Wilfredo Benitez:

    -Became a World Champ at 17
    -Became a 3 division champ before the age of 23

    Wilfredo Gomez:

    - 44 victories with 42 via KO, lost to Salvador Sanchez. KOd Kobayashi in Japan and also KOd Zarate and Pintor. Arguably the best PR fighter all time IMO.

    Macho Camacho:

    -Beat Bazooka Limon for his first title
    -Beat Jose Luis Ramirez via wide UD for his 2nd title
    -Beat Mancini for his third title
    -Reached 3 division champ status undefeated.

    Miguel Cotto:

    -Not going to go in depth with him since everybody pretty much knows his accolades.

    Please discuss

    Please remove Cotto from the list, winning WBOGUS at 140 was very weak and shouldn't count IMO. BTW Tito is the man.

    Tito probably beat the best opposition to win his belts

    WBOGUS is a fairly new title that has only been around for twenty yrs, anyone can win their shitty title.

    I have no idea why some people despise the WBO, when other organizations such as the WBC are MUCH worse..All I can think about is that there is a fighter/s out there they hate that reigned with the WBO and don't want to give them credit.

    I remember when the WBC the a prestige title and the WBO was anew and up and coming, but there is no denying the WBO is a s good and sometimes not as bad as the WBC or IBF.

    To make it fair, Cotto beat Pinto for the WBO title, Trinidad beat Blocker for the IBF title but Blocker was coming off a KO by Norris 4 months prior.
