Rating boxers purely on world titles won shows a lack of understanding of the history of boxing. Fighters like Les Darcy, Young Griffo, Jack Carroll, Dave Sands, Jimmy Carruthers and Lionel Rose reaches the top in mucb tougher eras and in eras with only one champion and far fewer weight classes. Comparing “world titles” won since 1990 to before 1960 is unfair because there were not only fewer world titles, but many more professionals competing. I wouldn’t put Vic over Kostya either.

Vic Darchinyan is Australia's greatest ever boxer
