How is Manny Pacquiao a "7 divisional titleist"?

[Titing Kabayo]

i don't see how manny could be considered a ww champ when he beat a guy at 145---it sickens me---well, it doesn't really---but what the hell---

Edit wikipedia to satisfy yourself...

my bad...did I typed 20?

it's 10 world titles in six different weight classes... sorry.

Pac's win against DLH is crap to me, like Floyd's win against Baldomir.

Pac's win against Hatton was average... I know it will happen once Pac lands his left.

Pac's win against Cotto? you tell me... I still can't believe if it's real or not.

I hate to admit it but pacquiao's career will never achieve again in the next century or never will someone can surpass that achievement from flyweight champion to welterweight.

We all very very lucky to witness it.

not all or even some are like you. You are far more objective than any Mayweather fan I've seen in this forum.

Barrera was the recognized best at the 126lb division. He had the WBC belt but was stripped in an attempt to fight Johnny Tapia who was also a title holder and alot than his proposed mandatory challenger and beat him.

So because a champion decides to face the best instead of tomato can mandatories and is stripped for it....should we no longer consider them a champion????

Same thing with Hatton Hatton had the IBF belt at 140 but was stripped because he wanted to face Malignaggi who was the the 2nd best junior weltwerweight instead of his mandatory Juan Urango who he had already beaten decisively before.

ibo is ass.. isnt really a WORLD title

Even if you take that IBO away from hatton before the fight, he's still a lineal champion so the IBO excuse is not in effect here... With or without the IBO belt, Pacquiao still a lineal champion after putting Hatton to sleep..

Lineal Title is far greater than all the alphabet titles

Only in JWW had Pac got the IBO title.. But remember hatton was the lineal champ on that division and was stripped by IBF of the title.

anybody?

IBO may not be as major as the other 4, but the "I" stands for international, so it is a "world" belt so to speak

The WBO for awhile wasn't recognized as a major title, but is now. You never know, the IBO could be the fifth major title alongside the other 4...

*And let me also add, please read my sig about fanboyism...I hate it for ANY fighter, it's ridiculous the idiocy that comes along with creating a thread about a popular boxer.*

26 United States Evander Holyfield October 25, 1990 - October, 1990 (discontinued championship policy during Holyfield's reign)
27 England Lennox Lewis 2002 - February 6, 2004 (Retired)

It's best to assume that from 1990 to the early part of 2000, the lineal title was discontinued. Hence, the absence of the record

No one can deny that Hatton was the linear champ at 140 so for Pac to beat him he does have a claim to been a champ at 140 just like How Baldomir was the linear champ when he dispose of Judah.
