Though I only recognise some of the championships as truly legit, the five titles across six divisions (or whatever it was) is hard to top. I'll say that.

despite plenty of later-career heroics, i call beating- no, battering- Little Red Lopez his best. punch-perfect peformance from Chacon, tremendous power-punching from both hands and showing plenty of Chacon's under-rated slickness and counterpunching :TU:

His seven-year Lightweight reign takes the cake, but, boy, is competition ever stiff. He did so many remarkable things.

Floyd Patterson...was it being youngest linear champion ever, first two-time titleist in division history, or a successful, prolonged career ay Heavyweight given his small size, period? Something else altogether? Go.

Patterson

Going out on his own after he lost the title, fighting everyone
he could. Trying to put up a gutsy fight regardless.


Troy Waters

(his gutsy 3 rounder with Terry Norris ? or ...)

The right which put Norris down was hard to beat. I'd love to say his fight with Simon Brown, because I remember reading about it & I believe it was close, but I have to admit I've never seen it, so can't really say if it qualifies.

Sugar Ray Robinson's greatest accomplishment is undoubtedly his reign as a welterweight God.
