Check this

1990 - 6 FIGHTS - won the WBO middleweight title.

1991 - 4 FIGHTS - defended WBO middleweight world title 3 times and won WBO super middleweight title.

1992 - 5 FIGHTS - defended WBO super middleweight title 5 times.

1993 - 3 FIGHTS - defended WBO super middleweight title, had a draw for WBC title.

1994 - 6 FIGHTS - defended WBO super middleweight title 6 times.

He lost the WBO to Steve Collins in 1995, but his activity puts every world champion now to shame?

I miss boxing.



24 fights and 19 title defenses in 4 years.
For me though, a true Champion takes on all comers and he has openly admitted that fighting Toney or Roy Jones would have been 'suicide' so he is openly admitting he ducked them. In boxing we want to see the best fight the best and I think despite his wars with Benn & Watson, this will always ring true with me that he walked away from 2 big challenges. He put on some great fights though and was a great entertainer. I don't think much of his son mind, can't get my head around why everyone thinks he's great, he looks average with little power to me.
