Four-Weight Wonders: Who could Shakur Stevenson emulate with The Ring 6 victory?

Shakur Stevenson will bid to join an elite group of male boxers this evening when he takes on Teofimo Lopez at The Ring 6, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View.

The Newark fighter has made the journey across the Hudson to New York City and arrives at Madison Square Garden with more than history on the line. 

If Stevenson triumphs and dethrones Lopez as WBO light-welterweight champion, he will become a four-weight kingpin and quadruple success story.

Ahead of a defining night, DAZN News digs back to celebrate some of the biggest stars who have conquered just as many divisions - and even more too.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Few prizefighters ever quite did it like 'Pretty Boy', who conquered a whopping five divisions during his time atop the summit of the sport between 1998 and 2015.

Mayweather Jr. found WBC success at super-featherweight, but subsequently claimed crowns at lightweight, super-lightweight, welterweight and light-middleweight.

Across his career, he faced - and defeated - Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Ricky Hatton, ultimately retiring in 2017 with a 50-record.

Terence Crawford

Another man who never tasted defeat across his professional career, 'Bud' is the latest man to conquer four divisions, having done so back in 2024 at light-middleweight.

His win over Israil Madrimov followed lengthy success at lightweight, light-welterweight and welterweight, earning undisputed honours in the latter two categories as well.

Crawford hung up his boots last year, but not before vaulting classes to capture a fifth division, dethroning Canelo to sweep super-middleweight and nab all four belts too.

Manny Pacquiao

Perhaps 'Pac-Man' deserves two spots on this list for his feats, given how he has reshaped boxing to his whims as the sport's only eight-division world champion to date.

Beginning with WBC flyweight glory in 1998 against Chatchai Sasakul, Pacquiao would conquer every class between super-bantamweight and light-middleweight by 2010.

Though suffering a share of losses along the way, the Filipino is not done yet, and fell just shy of dethroning Mario Barrios for another welterweight crown only last year.

Oscar De La Hoya

Still at the forefront of the boxing world thanks to his exploits as a promoter, the 'Golden Boy' is still fondly remembered as one of the best multi-weight stars this century.

Triller Fight Club

De La Hoya began his journey with Olympic glory and would go on to capture major titles in six weight classes, ranging from super-featherweight through middleweight.

Wins over Pernell Whitaker and Fernando Vargas live long in the memory, though late-career losses to Mayweather, Pacquiao and Bernard Hopkins will have stung him.

Canelo Alvarez

Even with three losses on his record, the Mexican megastar could still lay a strong claim to be the greatest fighter of his generation thanks to his towering achievements.

World titles in four classes - light-middleweight, middleweight, super-middleweight and light-heavyweight - plus one undisputed crown, speaks to his power and verve.

His lone reverses came against greats too - Mayweather, Dmitry Bivol and Crawford. Canelo will go again in 2026, though he surely is approaching the twilight of his career.
