Larry Holmes had the widest recognition as champion in 1980

At that time, there were two major belts... The WBC and WBA.

The WBC belt was held by Larry Holmes

The WBA belt started the year in the hands of John Tate, it soon became the property of Mike Weaver courtesy of one of the best come-from-behind, last round knockouts in history. Weaver was still champ when 1981 began.
