Can't be true for Welterweights can it? Isn't there a curse surrounding unified champs in that division? They can't make more than 2 title defenses before losing? The names that pop out to me in that instance: De la Hoya, Mosley, Forrest, Mayorga, Spinks
Perhaps they mean "Your first EVER title defense is the hardest" I can kind of see that being the case as if you just achieved your goal of winning a world title you may get complacent or preoccupied with fame and fortune and forget to train hard etc.
