This season there were 20 fighters who became World Champions (by winning a WBC, WBA, WBO or IBF title)
And there were a further 8 fighters who were WBU Champions without holding a World Championship.
But the question remains: WHO achieved most? Who won what and when?
Well let me answer that by statistically analysing the top nine most successful fighters from the Heavyweight season.
All of these warriors are 3-time World Heavyweight Champions:
Muhammad Ali (Kevo)
