Tony Canzoneri
During his career, he won the Featherweight Championship of the World, the Lightweight Championship of the World and the Junior Welterweight Championship of the World.
In 1928, he won the featherweight title from Benny Bass (W-15). Two years later he won his first lightweight title with a kayo of lightweight champ Al Singer.
Then in 1931, Tony claimed the Junior Welter title by knocking out the legendary Jackie "Kid" Berg in three rounds.

In January 1891, in New Orleans, Fitzsimmons KOd Middleweight champ Jack (no relation to) Dempsey in the 13th round to become the new world Middleweight champion. Fitzsimmons knocked Dempsey down about 13 times during the fight. Fitzsimmons then challenged for the world's Heavyweight title in 1897. He succeeded on March 17 by knocking out Jim Corbett in round 14.
He then made history by defeating world Light-Heavyweight champion George Gardner by a decision in 20 rounds, thus becoming the first boxer to win titles in three weight-divisions.

Mayweather. that's a lot less difficult to do it on the decrease weight classes. you could take greater fights and prepare greater carefully because of the fact the education takes much less of a toll on your physique.

....gotta go w/hammerin' hank! but am not sure...from you, this may be a trick question, encyclopedia-man, but that's my final answer!
yo, what's the deal w/crusher creel, you and him have a lover's spat or something? methinks the man hates you, some kinda fierce! ease off, brotha, this is supposed to be just for fun! you wanna pick on me now? i ain't no gentleman, like sir smitty!
anyways, i'd like to amplify my answer and state that what distinguishes hammerin' hank from every other fighter that held mulitple belts at different weights is that he held the titles at the same time! so he may not have been the first but he did it concurrently. now what's the real answer smitty-mon, enquiring minds wanna know!

I'll guess Henry Armstrong - I know he held the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight titles all at the same time in the 1930s. I'm not sure if anyone did it before him, so I'm not completely confident that I'm right!

Craig S is correct on this one. Henry Armstrong held titles at featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight simultaneously.
