Canelo Alvarez is already a four-weight world champion going into his fight against Dmitry Bivol in Las Vegas – but where does boxing’s pound-for-pound no.1 rank against the all-timers?

This isn’t a top 10 of the best boxers ever, as a fighter can prove their greatness by dominating one division . This is a countdown of the multi-weight marvels who travelled up – and even occasionally down – the divisions to win world titles in an array of weight classes. From Mike Tyson’s hero to the fighter who went from middleweight to heavyweight champ.

Naturally, Sugar Ray – as slick outside of the ring as he was inside – bent the rules to get his way. Leonard somehow arranged it so that he won world titles in two divisions in only one fight, when he KOd Danny Lalonde for a light-heavyweight belt – and a newly created super-middleweight world title. This despite Leonard weighing 165lb on the night. Still, he was an all-time great welterweight and fought Hagler to win his middleweight championship. So five-division champ Leonard is riding high.

For all his incredible feats, Mr 50-0 never unified all of the alphabet titles in one division. But he was linear champion in four weight classes and won a whopping 15 major titles across five divisions. Mayweather’s first 130lb world title saw him defeat a fine champion in Genaro Hernandez. The ‘Pretty Boy’ was linked to Naseem Hamed and featherweight super-fights back then, but a decade later he was winning world titles at 147lb and 154lb. Some journey for the shy, retiring Floyd.
