List of boxing triple champions

In boxing, a triple champion is a boxer who has won world titles in three different weight classes. For most of the 20th century it was a remarkable achievement, possibly securing one a spot in the Boxing Hall of Fame with other immortals of the sport. Beginning in the 1970s, Triple Champions have become increasingly more common because of the numerous weight divisions (17) and the countless professional boxing entities that claim a "World" championship.

Example: Wilfredo Gómez won his first belt at 122 pounds. Later he won the 126-pound crown and finally won the 130-pound title as well.

The first Triple Champion of boxing was Bob Fitzsimmons when he added the Light Heavyweight crown to his World Middleweight and Heavyweight belts on November 25, 1903.

Barney Ross was the first boxer to simultaneously hold world titles in two different weight classes when he won 135-pound World Lightweight Title and 140-pound World Light Welterweight against Tony Canzoneri on June 23, 1933. Later Ross won the 147-pound World Welterweight 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 World Featherweight Title from Petey Sarron on October 29, 1937, the World Welterweight Title from Barney Ross on May 31, 1938, and won the World Lightweight Title in his next fight, on August 17 against Lou Ambers. Armstrong then immediately vacated the Featherweight 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 age 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 regular major entities (including The Ring) and/or minor associations 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 3 different weight classes. Example: Mike McCallum who won the Light middleweight title, the Middleweight title and the Light heavyweight title.
Same Division - A fighter who has won at least 3 titles in the same weight class. Example: Pernell Whitaker won the unified crown of the Lightweight division when adding the WBC and the WBA titles to his already captured IBF belt. 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 belt to his IBF Cruiserweight crown.

In the late 20th and early 21st Century this feat has become much more common for two reasons:

Divisions - The major entities have 17 divisions in total but in some cases the governing 'minor' entities have a possible total of 19 because they are recognizing the still-unauthorized Super-cruiserweight (210) and/or Super Heavyweight (Hvy or 210+) titles in profesional boxing. The 17 officially recognized divisions are: Heavyweight (Hvy or 200+), Cruiserweight (200), Light heavyweight (175), Super middleweight (168), Middleweight (160), Super welterweight (154), Welterweight (147), Super lightweight (140), Lightweight (135), Super featherweight (130), Featherweight (126), Super bantamweight (122), Bantamweight (118), Super flyweight (115), Flyweight (112), Light flyweight (108) and Strawweight (105).
Entities - the growing amount of professional boxing entities that claim a "World" status for its champions. Those organizations are:
- Major Entities:
  - World Boxing Association (WBA) - founded in 1921
  - World Boxing Council (WBC) - founded in 1963
  - International Boxing Federation (IBF) - founded in 1976
  - World Boxing Organization (WBO) - founded in 1988
  - The Ring - Boxing's most respected magazine that was founded in 1922
    The Ring has its own version of lineal championship and began awarding championship belts in 1922. The Lineal Champion is also known as the true champion of the division. The Ring stopped giving belts to world champions in the 1990s but began again in 2002. 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."^[1] 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's title: defeat the reigning champion; or win a box-off between The Ring's number-one and number-two rated contenders (or, sometimes, number-one and number-three rated).^[2] There are also only three ways that a boxer can lose The Ring's title: lose a championship fight, move to a different weight class, or retire.^[2] (The Ring does not strip its champions' titles like the sanctioning bodies do.)
  - Lineal - The Lineal Championship awarded to the boxers who earned their Lineal status anywhere between the 1990s to 2002, when The Ring stopped giving belts to world champions. The Ring champion is not necessarily the Lineal Champion.
- Minor Entities: International Boxing Organization (IBO), International Boxing Association (IBA), International Boxing Council (IBC), International Boxing Board (IBB), International Boxing League (IBL), International Boxing Union (IBU), Global Boxing Association (GBA), Global Boxing Council (GBC), Global Boxing Federation GBF, Global Boxing Organization (GBO), Global Boxing Union (GBU), National Boxing Association (NBA), Transcontinental World Boxing Association (TWBA), Universal Boxing Association (UBA), Universal Boxing Council (UBC), Universal Boxing Federation (UBF), Universal Boxing Organization (UBO), UNIBOX UNIBOX, United States Boxing Council (USBC), World Athletic Association (WAA), World Boxing Board (WBB), World Boxing Championship Committee (WBCC), World Boxing Empire (WBE), World Boxing Foundation (WBF), World Boxing Institute (WBI), World Boxing League (WBL), World Boxing Network (WBN), World Boxing Union (WBU), World Cup of Boxing (WCOB), World Junior Boxing Federation (WJBF), World Tournament Boxing Federation (WTBF) and the World United Boxing Association (WUBA).
  The International Boxing Association (IBA) is not to be confused with the International Boxing Association (AIBA), a French acronym for Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur, which sanctions amateur matches.
  The National Boxing Association (NBA) 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 (WBA) 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 (UK/NZ), Tony Canzoneri (USA), Barney Ross (USA), Henry Armstrong (USA), Emile Griffith (VI), Wilfred Benítez (PR), Alexis Argüello (NIC), Roberto Durán (PAN), Wilfredo Gómez (PR), Ray Charles Leonard (USA), Thomas Hearns (USA), Jeff Fenech (AUS), Héctor Camacho (PR), Julio César Chávez (MEX), Iran Barkley (USA), Duke McKenzie (UK), Pernell Whitaker (USA), Mike McCallum (JAM), Wilfredo Vázquez (PR), Oscar De La Hoya (USA), Roy Jones Jr. (USA), Leo Gamez (VEN), Félix Trinidad (PR); Johnny Tapia (USA); James Toney (USA), Shane Mosley (USA), Manny Pacquiao (PHI), Erik Morales (MEX), Marco Antonio Barrera (MEX), Floyd Mayweather, Jr.(USA), Juan Manuel Márquez (MEX), Jorge Arce (MEX), Fernando Montiel (MEX), Miguel Ángel Cotto (PR), Koki Kameda (JPN), Nonito Donaire (PHI), Robert Guerrero (USA). Thirty-seven (37) fighters in total.

Minor Titles: - Vinny Pazienza (USA), Roger Mayweather (USA), Lester Ellis (Aus), Bobby Czyz (USA), Joey Gamache (USA), James "Buddy" McGirt (USA), Orlando Canizales (USA), Greg Haugen (USA), Mauricio Pastrana (COL), Junior Jones (USA), Cassius Baloyi (SA), Lehlohonolo Ledwaba (SA), Sirimongkol Singwangcha (THAI), Mzukisi Sikali (SA), Danny Romero (USA), Silvio Branco (Italy), Damaen Kelly (IRL), Rob Calloway (USA), and Zab Judah (USA), Vic Darchinyan (ARM/AUS). Twenty (20) champions in total needed a third championship belt from a 'minor world' boxing organization to get their status as Triple Champions in three different divisions.

List of Boxing Triple or Three Division Champions — Minor + Major Titles

The first column of the extreme left (Major titles only) 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 (Minor and Major titles) 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.

Example: Sugar Ray Leonard is a five(5)-time world champion in five(5) different weight categories:

He won his first title (147 pounds/WBC welterweight belt) 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 (154 pounds) 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.

Example: Pernell Whitaker is a four(4)-time champion in four(4) different divisions:

His first ever title was the world IBF lightweight title (135 pounds) at 1989-02-18 from Greg Haugen. Whitaker also won the other two versions (WBA/1990-08-11 from Juan Nazario & WBC/1989-08-20 versus José Luis Ramírez) of the world Lightweight title in the same division, but only will be included here the very first title (1989-02-18). So Whitaker is a three(3)times world champion in one weight division (Lightweight), but is a six(6) times champion in four(4) different divisions.
And every new title in different weight divisions will be only accepted in this list to proclaim the champions in multiple divisions.

Example: Vinny Pazienza is a three(3)times world champion in three different divisions:

Pazienza's first belt was for the IBF lightweight title(135) 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(154) at 1991-10-01 from Gilbert Dele. It's his second world title in two(2)different divisions.
His next 'world' title was the IBO Super Middleweight Title(168)in 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. But I added Pazienza's three(3) titles in three(3)different weight divisions because all the titles are professional ones and because maybe one day that 'world' titles will be legitimate recognised by the World.

Note:

The Super Featherweight (130 lbs) World Title of Manny Pacquiao runs a fourth major world title (not as third) in four totally different weight divisions. Pacquiao's third world title was The Ring World Featherweight Title after defeating Marco Antonio Barrera on November 15, 2003. Please, see the List of The Ring world champions to confirm this fact.
The IBF World Cruiserweight (200 lbs) Title of James Toney, which he won on April 26, 2003 against Vassiliy Jirov, was included in the list of major titles as his third major world title. However, his WBU Light Heavyweight (175 lbs) Title, that considered as a minor world title which he won on August 9, 1996 against Freddie Delgado, is chronologically included in the list of minor + major titles as his third world title instead of his IBF World Cruiserweight Title.
The Ring World Lightweight (135 lbs) Title of Juan Manuel Márquez that he won against Joel Casamayor on September 13, 2008 ran as the third major world title because The Ring recognized him, after defeating Casamayor, as the lineal champion in lightweight division. Please, see the List of The Ring world champions to verify this fact. But he eventually defeated Juan Díaz on February 28, 2009 and won another major world title at lightweight division.
The WBC Flyweight Interim Title of Jorge Arce, which he won against Angel Antonio Priolo on July 30, 2005 and defended four times, ran as the second major world title; while the WBA Super Flyweight Interim Title, which he won against Rafael Concepcion on September 15, 2008, ran as the third major world title. However, he won another super flyweight world title from WBO on January 30, 2010.

Triple Champions that won titles in other multiple divisions

Some fighters of this group or club were not satified to win just the incredible milestone of championships in three different weight divisions but to reach immortality in four, five, six and/or seven other different divisions or categories. The multiple champions who won in:

Four weight divisions are called Quadruple Champions (see the List of boxing quadruple champions);
Five weight divisions are called Quintuple Champions (see the List of boxing quintuple champions);
Six weight divisions are called the Sextuple Champions (see the List of boxing sextuple champions);
Seven weight divisions are called the Septuple Champions (see the List of boxing septuple champions); and
Eight weight divisions are called the Octuple Champions (see the List of boxing septuple champions).

Group of Almost Triple Champions

This is the "Suggested" term that could be given to the group of boxers who won championship titles in two divisions and almost won three championship titles in three divisions.

This list consist only of any boxer that tried in futile to become a champion in three different weight divisions. They all are Double Champions in two different divisions or weights. All their attempts to win a third division belt are documented in the following list.
For example: Hilario Zapata (champion in 108 Light flyweight & 112 Flyweight) tried unsuccessfully to win the 115 world title from the 115 WBC Super Flyweight Titlist Sung-Kil Moon Seoul at 1993-02-27. Zapata only tried the feat in the next higher division. He never tried a second (or third) different division moving up in weight.
Another example: Hiroki Ioka who was champion at 105 & 108 Light flyweight and tried to obtain the third divisions title against three different world champions (David Griman, Saen Sor Ploenchit & Jose Bonilla) at 112 but losing all his respective efforts, plus trying to add anyway a third title in a still different weight category Super Flyweight against one champ(Satoshi Iida) although the result was again a lost.
