The other who held titles in six divisions was Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao, 62-8-2 (39), of General Santos City, Philippines. He won the WBC Flyweight title knocking out Chatchai Sasakul, 32-1-1, of Thailand, in December of 1998. He won the IBF Super Bantamweight title, stopping Lehlo Ledwaba, 33-1-1, of South Africa, in June of 2001.

Defending titles is a must for a fighter who holds the coveted belt. Most title-defending fights are fierce, brutal and tough for opponents, so Joe Louis’ record is quite the deal. He defended his title 25 times, winning all of them consecutively.

On June 28, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Pacquiao moved to the lightweight division and claimed the WBC lightweight title, defeating David Díaz via knockout in round nine. With the victory, Pacquiao became the first and only Filipino and Asian to become a five-division world champion, a fighter who won world titles in five different weight divisions. He also became the first Filipino fighter to ever win a world title at lightweight. During the fight, which Pacquiao dominated, Díaz was cut badly on his right eye in the fourth round. After the bout, Díaz acknowledged Pacquiao's superior hand speed, stating "It was his speed. It was all his speed. I could see the punches perfectly, but he was just too fast."

The Bantamweight division is for fighters who is the 9 division world boxing champion weigh between 115lbs and 118lbs, with the first title fight being held in 1889. At that time the weight limit was 110lbs, but it was increased to its current limit in 1910.

4. Oscar Valdez (23-0) Valdez, Mexico's only two-time Olympic boxer, made his second title defense against mandatory challenger Miguel Marriaga, a tremendous puncher from Colombia, in the main event of an April 22 Top Rank PPV card. It was a terrific fight against a quality opponent. Valdez scored a 10th-round knockdown and won by unanimous decision. Then Valdez headlined a Top Rank ESPN card in his boyhood home of Tucson, Arizona, on Sept. 29 and exchanged knockdowns with the Philippines' Genesis Servania en route to another decision victory in yet another terrific action fight. There's been talk of a showdown with former titlist Carl Frampton (24-1) in 2018 in a can't-miss fight, but first Valdez will return to ESPN to defend his title against another opponent at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Next: March 10 vs. TBA

"It is difficult for me to accept that my time as a boxer is over," he added. "Today, I am announcing my retirement. I never thought that this day would come. As I hang up my boxing gloves, I would like to thank the whole world, especially the Filipino people, for supporting Manny Pacquiao."

"Wherever I campaign, I can find a fight," Shields said after the fight about what division she wants to be active in moving forward. "I'm going to talk to my team and decide if we want to go down and defend my middleweight titles or stay at heavyweight and chase more world titles.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what makes featherweight boxers stand out when they step into the ring. It’s not just about throwing punches; it’s about the finesse and skills that set them apart.

At the Olympics, each weight class is a separate single-elimination tournament awarding one gold, one silver and two bronze medals in each weight class. The event format is geared so that the finals of all represented weight classes are held over the last two days of the competition, entrants that fail to win on the penultimate day being the Bronze medal recipients with the finals deciding Gold and Silver on the final day, all of the bouts are scheduled in ascending order of weight with the super heavyweight final last of all.

The U.S. team filed a protest over the Mayweather bout, claiming the judges were intimidated by Bulgaria's Emil Jetchev (head of the boxing officials) into favoring the Bulgarian Todorov by a 10–9 decision in the 125-pound semifinal bout. Three of Jetchev's countrymen were in gold medal bouts. Judge Bill Waeckerle (one of the four U.S. judges working the games for the International Amateur Boxing Federation) resigned as Olympic Games and federation judge after Mayweather lost the decision, which was loudly booed by the crowd at the Alexander Memorial Coliseum. "I refuse to be part of an organization that continues to conduct its officiating in this manner", Waeckerle wrote in his letter of resignation to federation president Anwar Chowdhry.

"If you’re just moving your arms, then you’re not moving your body," Richey says. "And if you want to burn calories, moving your arms is not the best way to do it. Major muscle groups are how you get the cardio aspect, because they’re a lot larger and they consume more oxygen to burn more calories."

Boxing as we know it has been around since the Queensberry rules came into place in 1867. However, it wasn’t until 1903 that all eight of the original weight classes – flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight – were firmly established.
