He held the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight titles at the same time. He also was robbed of a 4th title when he fought for the middleweight championship. Please, informed answers only please. Thanks all.

I would say the best 3 pound for pound fighters for all time were
Alexis Arguello; Henry Armstrong and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Roy Jones Jr.Henry Armstrong,Sugar Ray Leonard, a heavy weight should never be considered the best pound for pound

Oh yes without a doubt particularly when you are talking about pound for pound and what he accomplished wil never be equaled. He had a legendary career and regularly fought and defeated bigger men in the ring. "Homicide Hank" ranks easily in my top 3 pound for pound fighters of all time.
