List of boxing triple champions
In boxing, a triple champion is a boxer who has won world titles in three weight classes. For most of the 20th century it was a remarkable and rare achievement accomplished by only a handful of fighters. Beginning in the 1970s, triple champions have become increasingly more common due to the proliferation of weight classes and sanctioning bodies in the sport. Bob Fitzsimmons was boxing's first triple champion, successively winning the middleweight, heavyweight and light-heavyweight titles between 1894 and 1903.
Early history
The first triple champion of boxing was Bob Fitzsimmons when he added the light-heavyweight title to his middleweight and heavyweight titles on November 25, 1903.Barney Ross was the first boxer to simultaneously hold world titles in two different weight classes when he won the 135-pound lightweight and 140-pound light-welterweight titles against Tony Canzoneri on June 23, 1933. Later Ross won the 147-pound welterweight world title from Jimmy McLarnin on May 28, 1934.
Henry Armstrong was the first man to hold three titles in three divisions simultaneously. He won the featherweight world title from Petey Sarron on October 29, 1937, the welterweight world title from Barney Ross on May 31, 1938, and the lightweight world title in his next fight, on August 17 against Lou Ambers. Armstrong then immediately vacated the featherweight world title because he could no longer make the weight.
Wilfred Benítez was the youngest ever champion at any weight. Benitez first won the 140-pound WBA light-welterweight title from Antonio Cervantes on March 6, 1976, at the age of 17. He moved up in weight to win the 147-pound WBC welterweight title from Carlos Palomino on January 14, 1979, and finally won a third title when he added the 154-pound WBC light-middleweight title from Maurice Hope on May 23, 1981.
Recognition
The following lists are for all boxers who have won championships from the four major organizations and/or minor organizations and other criteria.The phrase Triple Crown is also used to refer to a fighter who has performed one or both of the following feats:
- Different Divisions - A fighter who has won championships in at least three different weight classes. Example: Mike McCallum who won the light-middleweight, middleweight and light-heavyweight titles.
- Same Division - A fighter who has won at least three titles in the same weight class. Example: Pernell Whitaker unified the lightweight division when adding the WBA and WBC titles to his already captured IBF title. In other words, Whitaker was a Triple Champion in the lightweight division alone, a single weight class. Another example: Evander Holyfield who never was a triple champion in three different weight divisions but was a triple champion in a single division when he added the WBA and the WBC titles to his IBF cruiserweight title.
- Divisions - The major organizations have 17 divisions in total but in some cases the governing 'minor' organizations have a possible total of 19 because they are recognizing the still-unauthorized super-cruiserweight and/or super-heavyweight titles in professional boxing. The 17 officially recognized divisions are: Heavyweight, cruiserweight, light-heavyweight, super-middleweight, middleweight, light-middleweight, welterweight, light-welterweight, lightweight, super-featherweight, featherweight, super-bantamweight, bantamweight, super-flyweight, flyweight, light-flyweight and strawweight.
Major sanctioning bodies
- World Boxing Association - founded in 1921
- World Boxing Council - founded in 1963
- International Boxing Federation - founded in 1976
- World Boxing Organization - founded in 1988
''The Ring''
In 2002, The Ring created a championship system that is "intended to reward fighters who, by satisfying rigid criteria, can justify a claim as the true and only world champion in a given weight class." The Ring claims to be more authoritative and open than the sanctioning bodies' rankings, with a page devoted to full explanations for ranking changes. A fighter pays no sanctioning fees to defend or fight for the title at stake, contrary to practices of the sanctioning bodies. There are currently only two ways that a boxer can win The Ring
In May 2012, citing the number of vacancies in various weight classes as primary motivation, The Ring unveiled a new championship policy. Under the new policy, The Ring title can be awarded when the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked fighters face one another or when the No. 1 and 2 contenders choose not to fight one another and either of them fights No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5, the winner may be awarded The Ring title. In addition, there are now six ways for a fighter to lose his title: lose a fight in his championship weight class; move to another weight class; not schedule a fight in any weight class for 18 months; not schedule a fight in his championship weight class for 18 months, even if fighting at another weight class; not scheduling a fight with a top 5 contender in any weight class for two years; or retiring.
Many media outlets and members are extremely critical of the new championship policy and state that if this new policy is followed The Ring title will lose the credibility it once held.
Lineal
The Transnational Boxing Rankings Board lists a version of the lineal championship in their rankings. TBRB lists a champion when their two top-ranked fighters in any division meet and currently recognizes legitimate world champions or "true champions" in each weight classes. The Board was formed to continue where The Ring "left off" in the aftermath of its purchase by Golden Boy Promotions in 2007 and the following dismissal of Nigel Collins. After the new editors announced a controversial new championship policy in May 2012, three prominent members of the Ring Advisory Panel resigned. These three members became the founding members of the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, which was formed over the summer of 2012 with the assistance of Stewart Howe of England.Since 2012, a version of lineal champions is predetermined by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, which promotes the concept of a singular world champion per weight class. Another version of lineal champions are listed on the Cyber Boxing Zone website which list lineal champions of the Queensberry Era to date.
Minor sanctioning bodies
The International Boxing Organization is sometimes included in the list of major boxing organizations.Besides the IBO, there are other sanctioning bodies. They are: World Professional Boxing Federation, International Boxing Association, International Boxing Council, International Boxing Board, International Boxing League, International Boxing Union, Global Boxing Association, Global Boxing Council, Global Boxing Federation GBF, Global Boxing Organization, Global Boxing Union, National Boxing Association, Transcontinental World Boxing Association, Universal Boxing Association, Universal Boxing Council, Universal Boxing Federation, Universal Boxing Organization, UNIBOX, United States Boxing Council, World Athletic Association, World Boxing Board, World Boxing Championship Committee, World Boxing Foundation, World Boxing Institute, World Boxing League, World Boxing Network, World Boxing Union.
The International Boxing Association is not to be confused with the International Boxing Association, a French acronym for Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur, which sanctions amateur matches.
The National Boxing Association was established in 1984 and is not to be confused with the original National Boxing Association that was established in 1921 and changed its name to World Boxing Association in 1962.
The fighters that compose this group are classified in two different categories depending on the level of championships won:
- Major Titles: - Bob Fitzsimmons, Tony Canzoneri, Barney Ross, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Wilfred Benítez, Alexis Argüello, Roberto Durán, Wilfredo Gómez, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Jeff Fenech, Héctor Camacho, Julio César Chávez, Iran Barkley, Duke McKenzie, Pernell Whitaker, Mike McCallum, Wilfredo Vázquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Roy Jones Jr., Leo Gamez, Félix Trinidad ; Johnny Tapia ; James Toney, Shane Mosley, Manny Pacquiao, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Juan Manuel Márquez, Jorge Arce, Fernando Montiel, Miguel Ángel Cotto, Koki Kameda, Nonito Donaire, Abner Mares, Román González, Léo Santa Cruz, Jorge Linares, Kazuto Ioka, Akira Yaegashi, Ricky Burns, Hozumi Hasegawa and Mikey Garcia.

List of Boxing Triple or Three Division Champions — Minor + Major Titles
- The first column of the extreme left refers to championships won from only major boxing entities such the WBC, the WBA, the IBF the WBO and The Ring. They are the organizations that generally considered as the 'real' ones.
- The second column of the extreme left refers to any championships won from professional 'minor' boxing associations that are not yet well respected by the general boxing fan or public at 'world' level. Some of them, despite having tremendous champions and superstars that sometimes eclipse the champions of the major entities, are still in the shadows. Please, see the List of Minor Boxing Entities of the Triple Champions in this page.
- Only the first championship by Boxing weight-class is added to the fighter not matter he later obtain or win additional belts in the same division.
- He won his first title in 1979-11-30 against Wilfred Benítez but later he also added the WBA Welterweight version from Thomas Hearns in 1981-09-16. So because Welterweight is the same division, not matter the boxing regulating body, his first championship counts only to proclaim him as the world Welterweight champ or two times Welter champion.
- Leonard also won the world WBA light middleweight title from Ayub Kalule in 1981-06-25 but he does not needed to win a second belt at this weight to be considered champion, so he is a one time world Light middleweight champ.
- His first ever title was the world IBF lightweight title at 1989-02-18 from Greg Haugen. Whitaker also won the other two versions of the world Lightweight title in the same division, but only will be included here the very first title. So Whitaker is a threetimes world champion in one weight division, but is a six times champion in four different divisions.
- And every new title in different weight divisions will be only accepted in this list to proclaim the champions in multiple divisions.
- Pazienza's first belt was for the IBF lightweight title at 1987-06-07 from Greg Haugen. The IBF title is considered a legitimate world title such the WBC, the WBA and the WBO.
- He won the WBA light middleweight title at 1991-10-01 from Gilbert Dele. It's his second world title in twodifferent divisions.
- His next 'world' title was the IBO Super Middleweight Titlein 1993-12-28 from Dan Sherry. The IBO is still not recognized as a real 'world' association by the boxing fans, national commissions and writers.
