[Mr. Ryan]

Ryan: Not you too? 126...Pacquiao was the World champ at 126 traceable back over 20 years.

It was a judgment call of sorts. Marquez had gotten a lot of work done at 126 before Pacquiao arrived by unifying the belts. The first Pacquiao-Marquez was a clean draw and Pacquiao didn't stick around long enough at the division. The draw verdict showed that Marquez's two belts were no less a credential than Pacquiao's Ring Belt.

It really doesn't matter, Pacquiao himself said he was a 4 division champion. It doesn't detract from him one bit.

I thought Barrera and Hamed fought for the vacant Ring belt?

[crold1]

No, Barrera and Morales did and who cares about Ring? The lineage was there when Ring backed into it. Manny was the rightful Featherweight champion and it does detract slightly when you figure that he's the only fighter in history to win the Flyweight and Featherweight titles. Marquez 'unifying' against the awesome that was Medina and Gainer just doesn't quite stack with Manny beating Barrera and the twenty years behind that win stretching to the death of Sanchez and reign of Pedroza.

Otherwise, good piece.

Pac man is clearly worthy of the title.... Cong**** to the little flip!

[crold1]

Oh, and as a P.S., let it not be forgotten that Pacquiao was billed as 'People's" champ at 26 after Barrera or whatever they called it to acknowledge his lineage claim. Boxing politics suck.

Thanks.

I see where I misunderstood the lineage, it was Barrera's first fight at 126 when he fought Hamed and then two fights later Barrera beat Morales.

It really is confusing the whole situation, especially when it comes down to technicalities and unofficial titles. I can see why the layman is turned off by the ABC politics.

[gopi11]

thats the fight I want next is Campbell vs Pacquiao.

Campbell should not sign that contract for guzman...campbell vs pacquiao should be the fight for november.

but pacman will not be able to hurt Campbell, once pacman hits campbell he will realize he cannot hurt him and it will make pacman nervous...campbell will hit pacman hard and he will hurt him.

nate campbell will smile when pacman hits him.

Deja vu...

That's exactly what you said for David Diaz, and guess what happened?

Don't waste your time.

So what would you suggest? Put Pacman on ice until all of his so called "credible" opponents are free?
