3 world title fights at 3 different weights?

[Goodnight, Irene]

Isnt the fight at Welter? Neither is the champ there.

They are fighting for the WBO world title.

Where did the OP stipulate that they had to have fought for anything more than an alphabet title?

[Goodnight, Irene]

He didnt. I just find it rather depressing EVERY fight is for a world title today.

Thats why I tend to blinker myself to the lineage, or Ring.

..there are only two fighters who won three legit world titles at three different weights ...bob fitzsimmons and henry armstrong. this is not boxing trivia...it is well known.

You've asked this question in the wrong forum.

Never, ever ask a question about alphabet titles in this forum - as soon as they're mentioned it turns into the same discussion. There should be a stickied warning atop of this page.

Pardon us for cutting through the bullsh!t and getting it DEAD FUCKEN RITE

I'm with GI here. Don't call fights Championship fights if nobody involved is the Champ. Paper titles aren't respected by true fans, and BOTP is mostly frequented by the true die-hard nuts of the sport.

...jimmy..thanks for giving a few of us to vent

Not EVERY fight. Roy Jones vs Max Alexander was merely for the UBO Intercontinental and IBS North American titles. So no world titles there.

Wow. I stand corrected. Boxing is saved

[oliverfennell]

The IBS North American title? Tell me you made that one up.

Nope. Independent Boxing Syndicate = IBS. I shit you not.
