including the ring magazine belt, he had 10, and those include his last three fights when no sanctioning belt was on the line (except the wbu which nobody cares about).
in 1973, he beat joe frazier for the title, made two successful defenses before losing to ali in Zaire.
in 1991 he lost to evander holyfield.
in 1994 he beat Michael moorer for the ibf, wba and ring magazine linear titles.
the wba stripped him, but he defended the ibf belt in a disputed decision over axel schultz. three more fights only involved the ring belt.
