Absolutely!!
I wonder what it would be like if the history of boxing governance had happened in reverse. . . that is to say, becuase of travel restrictions or politics if there were 4-6 belts "back in the day" and one now.
My guess is there is a John Ruiz fan who would say: He never gets the credit he deserves, because he didn't win the title. But if he fought 40 years ago, he'd have been a champion and now be looked at more favorably. (Ditto for Scott LeDoux, Herbie Hide, Oscar Bonavena, etc.)
