manny pacquiao, 3 division or 4 division champ?

[boxingsmash69]

last i heard, manny pacquiao is a "3 division champion", right?

wbc flyweight
ibf superbantam
wbc superfeather

but,

didnt he win The Ring featherweight title against the first Barrera fight?

shouldn't he be a 4 division champ right now? (the first asian to be a world champ in 4 weightclasses)

or did he require an ABC belt at feather? (which could have happened if he beat marquez the first time)

- Referee waved off the fight when Trainer Rudy Perez stepped onto the ring apron.
- Pacquiao down in 1st.
- Barrera down in 3rd & 11th & penalized one point in 9th for hitting on the break.
- Manny Pacquiao wins The Ring Magazine Featherweight championship of the world.

I consider him to be a champ at 126.

if you consider The Ring belt he got from the 1st Barrera fight,then he's a 4 division champ...Legitimately he's a three division champ...

Yeah the Ring belt don't count. He was going after the belts at 126lbs with the MArquez bout. Didn't win, so he didn't win a "belt" at 126lbs. At least at 130lbs he got the belts off Marquez this time. So now going after Diaz's "belt" will make it officially his 4th. If he had actually beat Marquez at 126lbs, he'd be going for his 5th now, imagine that?

Officially the lineal 126 ring mag belt he got from marco is not recognized. Note that barrera was #3 p4p during that time BUT if you ask xcarut about these complexities he would say, "you dumbass pinoys know nothing, pacman lose all his championship fights"

4 division


112 - Linear
122 - IBF
126 - Linear from the line of Pedroza ( Has nothing to do with Ring Mag )
130 - Linear ( Start of line JMM and PAC are the 2 best + a bonus RING and WBC )

xcaret the ****head will not consider every belt Pac will accomplish,even if Pac will already go for a fourth crown that Barrera,Morales or Marquez cannot do.For xcaret,Manny Pacquiao is just a bum....

Where the **** is xcarut? He's the biggest pacnuthugger around, he should have been the first to reply to this thread. Think he's serenely riding pac's **** head and still trying to figure which ball to lick.

PAC's Featherweight championship is as legit as the other 3 .

[boxingsmash69]

hmmm, so he would have been going for his 7th (lightweight) belt right now, if he won titles at the 2 weightclasses he skipped (superfly and bantam), and won a featherweight belt.


he would have been tied with oscar, 6 division champ. and even surpass oscar if pac wins the lightweight title.
