          Did Armstrong look for catchweights? No offense, serious question.

                In terms of division's, that doesn't make any sense at all. Flyweight to Welter is already a bigger spread in terms of original eight classes as Armstrong's Feather to Middle (for a night and robbed). If Pac can legitimize himself as THE Welter champ (and he's got a ways to go in terms of foes), he'd be fine.

                It's still not Armstrong.

                What he's doing is somewhere in between McLarnin and Armstrong. Hank was the champ in three divisions at once. Pac won't do that and the opportunity long passed. He'd have had to beat Barrera, then Mayweather and finally Spinks (that was the spread around the time he beat MAB the first time) in a year at Feather, Light, and Welter to equal what Armstrong pulled off even if the titles wouldn't have all been simultaneous today.

                Mclarnin battled the best from being a small Bantam in the pre-day before weigh in era up to the Welter crown; he didn't win the titles of the lower classes but he beat some fantastic opp.

                  Considering Armstrong is renowned for his ability to fight across multiple weight classes, yes, Pacquiao is very much like him. Nobody is saying he's exactly the same fighter, rather, his achievements are similar. I understand your bias and dense but there's really no reason to be so bigoted on this subject.
