I missed the whole boat buying inside joke. Why is everyone calling floyd a boat buyer?

For Pacman to grab a 6th division title he'd have to go up to 154. For Floyd to grab a 6th he'd have to go to 160. Who do you think stands a better chance at obtaining a respective 6th division belt?

Pacquaio at 154 fighting against the likes of Paul Williams and Vernon Forest or Floyd Mayweather at 160 facing the likes of Pavlik, Abraham, Sturm, etc.

This would place either of them on the small and distinguished list of 'sextuplet title' champions of which according to wikipedia there are only 4 in history: Thomas Hearns, Oscar DLH, Hector Camacho, and James Toney.

And do you think either one stands a chance at becoming the first ever 7 division champ, i.e. a feat that would require Pac to win a title at middleweight 160 and Floyd at super middleweight 168?

why does pac have to fight at 154?

pac won at 112 , 122 , 126 , 130 and 135. that's 5 already.

140 will be his 6th. you don't want to count the 126 belt because it was just a ring belt?

It does homey.

no it doesn't. actually further research on my part has shown that manny is actually considered only a 4 division champ currently and floyd 5.

The reason being, Manny's fight against Barrera at 125 was for the RING title but not for any real major title (wbo/ibf/wbc, etc) and then when Manny fought JMM at 125 it was a draw..so he won no real title there and moved to 130.

Floyd has the skills to win more weight classes... but pacman has the willingness to go through with it... i choose pac

126 doesn't count technically as it wasn't for a real title.

we'll see if pac beats hatton, if he does it might give him confidence to go for the sixth.

mayweather on the other hand has gotta get some more fights going, if he does that then, again, you never know

hatton will be pac's 6th title.

112 , 122 , 126 , 130 , 135 and 140.

1......2......3......4.......5..........6.

6 titles.

well so in theory pac only has titles 4 divisions.

might be true but Floyd has far better chance to own Sturm and do a Hopkins on Pavlik @160 than Pacman does of beating P. Williams (LOL)

[Fulcrum29]

well so in theory pac only has titles 4 divisions.

go on wikipedia pacman is officially considered to have 4 titles, that's how history will record it. there are only 4 boxers in history with 5 real division titles and floyd is one of them.

In that case, i'd have to go with Pac.

Am I missing something. Why would Pac have to go to 154? Won't the fight with Ricky be for his 6th?

It does homey.
