WORLD WELTERWEIGHT TITLE

Karloff Lagarde

This is a combined list of different versions of the World Welterweight Titles, each of which was probably the most significant version at the time. Each version may or may not be connected to another. However, I did NOT make up any title change. All title changes are either actual or "official" unless indicated with symbol(s). For the complete/detailed listings, I recommend Wrestling Title Histories by Royal Duncan & Gary Will.
