	I'm a bit lost by the list. Are the WBO champions not included (i.e. Akinwande, Eubank, Hide)?

	Poos:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 02:43 GMT	1 point
	Yes, that's right. I haven't included WBO, WBU, WBF titles etc.

	Great idea and some wonderful names from the past there. I kept typing in various spellings of Eubank...

	Why no WBO? Generall it is considered as one of the 4 along with WBA, IBF and WBC. David Haye should now be Heavyweight champion too :)

	I've just included the first weight they won a world title at. Although the WBO belt has gained some recognition recently, back when Joe Calzaghe first won it in 1997, for example, it was very lightly regarded. And anyway if I did include WBO the list would probably be twice as long! It would also include nobodies like Nicky Cook and Enzo Maccarinelli. (Although I admit Gavin Rees has already tarnished this list somewhat.)

	No Dennis Andries? WBC light heavyweight champ at the age of 57 back in the 80s...

	Poos:	Dec 17th, 2009 at 16:58 GMT	1 point
	Just added him, thanks for that.
