    Doug Fischer is a fucking moron....he left out:

    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Lightest: 134
    Heaviest: 168
    Span: 34 pounds

    Ezzard Charles
    Lightest: 157
    Heaviest: 204
    Span: 47 pounds

    Jersey Joe Walcott
    Lightest: 158
    Heaviest: 201
    Span: 43 pounds

    Archie Moore
    Lightest: 148
    Heaviest: 206
    Span: 58 pounds

    They all fought better competition as they moved up in weight

    Leo gamez always gets left out Think he was at 4 titles too. Not all timers fit for list but wtf

    Bobby Czyz 157 lbs -- 220 lbs
    63 lb span and dare we not forget the very 1st spr cruiser weight champion

    Chris byrd 169 lbs -- 220 lbs. Dingaan Thobela 126 lbs --181 lbs 55 lbs. Won Light and spr middleweight champ. Grand daddy has to be Everett "bigfoot" Martin....167 lbs -- 265 lbs. Might have fought equal competion to any listed...did he beat any of them? Well not so much Except a decent Tim Witherspoon and a cruiserweight Bert Cooper. Put young Moorer on his azz,gave Foreman solid problems and rocked a young Bowe.

    Jeff Fenech deserves a mention. He fought for world titles in 5 different weight classes...won 3 of them. Probably should've been a 4 weight world champ.

    Won the IBF Bantamweight title
    Won the WBC Super Bantamweight title
    Won the WBC Featherweight title
    Had a disputed draw against Azumah Nelson for the WBC Super Featherweight title. Then lost the rematch.
    Lost to Phillip Holiday in an IBF Lightweight title match.

    Career low weight - 115¾
    Career high weight - 151

    Armstrong winning against great fighters was an amazing achievement
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
