==Super titles== Since the early 2000s, the WBO has awarded the honorary title of "Super Champion" to certain boxers, in any given weight class, who fulfil a set of distinguished criteria.<ref>[http://www.wboboxing.com/what-is-a-wbo-super-champion/ "What is a WBO "Super Champion""]. WBO. Retrieved September 10, 2016.</ref> Boxers who have been named WBO Super Champion include: [[Anthony Joshua]], [[Wladimir Klitschko]], [[Oleksandr Usyk]], [[Joe Calzaghe]], [[Oscar De La Hoya]], [[Bernard Hopkins]], [[Jermain Taylor]], [[Kelly Pavlik]], [[Canelo Alvarez|Saúl Álvarez]], [[Juan Manuel Márquez]], [[Juan Díaz (boxer)|Juan Díaz]], [[Naoya Inoue]], [[Manny Pacquiao]], [[Timothy Bradley]], [[Marco Antonio Barrera]], [[Fernando Montiel]], [[Jorge Arce]], [[Omar Narváez (boxer)|Omar Narváez]], [[Donnie Nietes]], [[Kosei Tanaka]], [[Iván Calderón (boxer)|Iván Calderón]], [[Marco Huck]], [[Sergey Kovalev (boxer)|Sergey Kovalev]], [[Vasyl Lomachenko]], and [[Terence Crawford]]. There are currently only two female boxers who earned the distinction of "Super Champion": [[Amanda Serrano]] and [[Claressa Shields]]. This title is not an actual world championship in the same vein as the [[WBA (Super)|WBA's Super titles]]; it is more akin to a lifetime achievement award. A boxer awarded the status of WBO Super Champion cannot win the title from or lose it to another boxer; recognition as Super Champion can be maintained even if a boxer moves to another weight class.
