which one was the more impressive achievement by Manny Pacquaio?
A:Beating the 3 Mexican greats(Barrera,Morales,Marquez) 2x each in their primes.
B:Winning world championships in 8 divisions(only fighter to do so)
Definitely holding wins over the Trio of Mexican greats. I've always thought the eight divisions thing is more a sad testimonial to how many useless paper titles and pointless weightclasses there are nowadays.

Being the best catch weight king of all time.
Barrera wasn't in his prime. He was only 29 but had already had two wars with Morales. But beating Morales Barerra and Marquez was still a tall order and impressive to me. 8 world titles is impressive too. Mannys a great fighter.
