I dont think it is even comparable...what with this age of multiple belts and seldom a unified champion in sight.
Exactly....it's like comparing winning Division 1 5 times in the 60s and winning the Premiership 5 times since 1998, now and then are two entirely different games, and shouldn't be stood up shoulder to shoulder. I'm not saying that Warren won't do it if Joe gets to 25 defences, but I hope he doesn't.
Why ae 5 premiership wins and five division 1 wins in the 60's not comparable? Apart from the name change they are essentially exactly the same competition with approximately the same amount of teams in each and the same number of matches required to win. Also there can only be one champion in any year both in the 60's and right now so what's the difference?

Imo winning the league, FA Cup, European Cup etc is exactly the same level of achievement now as its always been
