Yes. Well done Dirt. Now name the man to have fought more 'world' champions than any man in history.

I'm including the WBO (regrettably) in this. The marvellous Sugar Ray Robinson fought 17 genuine world champions. The legendary Roberto Duran took on 18. Julio Cesar Chavez took on 19, along with Oscar De La Hoya.
But there's still one man who fought more.
