    Yep! And also Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, and more recently, I believe Floyd technically held titles at 147 and 154 simultaneously.

    Of course because his charisma and draw are still the same, no matter how many belts he holds. He just doesn't appeal to any major demographic of consumers.

    Now let me ask you. Assume Wilder is the undisputed, 4 belt king of HW. How on earth would he make more money at CW (where no major PPV star exists) rather than simply defending at HW?

    Man a lot of people here don’t seem to understand how weight cutting works.

    Wilder at 214lb in the ring is an average-sized CW. Hell he could even go up to 220 and still drain to 200. It’s short term dehydration not functional weight loss.

    He doesn’t need to cut a leg off LMAO he is currently fighting at CW size. He also fought CW at the Olympics.

    Joshua will knock Wilder out, but Wilder will not fight him, he is afraid! Wilder wants to fight Ricardo Lopez, can Lopez come out of retirement?

    He is overconfident. He doesn't know he has not fought really tough guys yet. Not the guys whom the other champions had to beat. He never fought that level.

    There's a couple of these insolent cruiser weights that need teaching a lesson. Usky, Gassiev, Bellew just to name a few....... Lol Deontay is such a super talented fighter, like a Benjamin Button heavyweight, and will be comparable to Evander Holyfields accomplishments, but in reverse!

    If he does it for the title of being first man to do it, why not?

    Why don't you boil down to 154lb and fight someone your own size, Deontay, instead of bullying those midgets up at heavyweight. :ggg Sebastian Fundora gonna knock ya ass silly, boy! :deal:
