So, then would you also say that Ricky Hatton has never reached the top of the Junior Welter Weight division, as in your opinion, he has not reached the "pinnacle?"

its all politics though isnt it!!

Hatton was 43-0 at Light welter and yet only ever held the IBO and IBF versions of the titles despite fighting the best there was to offer every single time.

Wlad Klitschko is universally considered the world heavyweight champ yet sam peter owns the WBC version.

If the various organisations do come to their senses eventually and decide to work in unison to unify every division these discussions will never be had.

But that wont happen in my lifetime and i very much suspect in the coming years the P4P world champion will own nothing more than an IBO or WBA championship!!
