CompuBox Stats: Manny Pacquiao Aiming For History

[jdn]

Manny Pacquiao has four world titles from different weight divisions from the Big Four sanctioning groups. Who he beat for the title is off to the right.

They are:

WBC Lightweight 135 David Diaz
WBC Super Feather 130 Juan Manual Marquez
IBF Super Bantam 122 Lehlo Ledwaba
WBC Flyweight 112 Chatchai Sasakul

Pacquiao has one world title from one of the two smaller world groups:

IBO Light Welterweight 140 Ricky Hatton


And the Ring Magazine Featherweight Championship makes six.

- 126 Marco Antonio Barrera

I believe the two titles discussed here are legitimate because Pacquiao fought the best fighters out there at the time, not because of who sanctioned it.

Beats fighting the paper champion thats for sure

linear title > alphabet title.

that is all.

MANNY PADDED FRAUD PACQUAIO!!!
the cotto fight is at a catch weight of 147 lbs and cotto stated that he will not put up his title unless manny fights him at the reconised 147 pound wealter weight class!!!! manny wanted a catch weight of 145 so the w.b.c. made a new belt called the "diamond belt" for this fight witch is bullshift!!!! fake title!!! manny should have steped to 147 if he wanded to make history not FAKE history!!!!

****, nobody is preventing cotto to weigh till 147 pounds, catchweight is there for purely business. Cotto just need to pay a million for every pound which he can easily earn ten fold the next fight if he wins against pacman this saturday, you fre@k. Let your brain grows a bit.

Its ****ing easy, its not rocket science BPP.

Manny is a 4 division champ/Lineal champion and a 4 division world champion/title holder(Alphabet belt).

Manny lineal championships
112 beat Sasakul for it
126 beat Barrea for it
130 beat JMM for it
140 beat Hatton for it

Manny's World Championships
112 - WBC beat Sasakul for it
122 - IBF beat Ledwaba for it
130 - WBC beat JMM for it
135 - WBC beat Diaz for it

Is that so had to understand?


He will become a 5 division world champion if he beats Cotto, simple as that!

LOL! Lineal championship is more important than the abc belts...you fools! add the 2 non-lineals (122 and 135) to the 4 lineals and what you get?

Dude, Barrera, Morales & JMM are paper champs to you? Not to mention Hatton (the lineal jr. ww champ) whom you might regarded as overrated, maybe yes after he was demolished in 2 rounds by Pacman.

NO, I'm just saying beating the lineal champion at the time is just as good if not better. e.g. win over Barrera (Lineal) > win over David Diaz (WBC)

The 4 titles mentioned plus the highlighted ones makes more than 6 titles but I guess some aren't official titles. Definitely more than 4 TIME champ though.

Maybe the WBA title was JMM's but he got the other ones

[edgarg]

not more fraudulent than oscar robbing felix strum of the middleweight championship that he clearly did not deserve. at least leonard beat lalonde.

I agree about Oscar.
