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.
Armstrong has 19 WW title defenses.
At his peak he was 46-0. With 39 Knock outs dude.
Armstrong held 3 titles out of Boxings 8 classes at the SAME time. If not fop that draw he wouldve had a 4th.
did i say he was? find me that post...please do it...IF you cant, then explain to me how Sergio is a better name than anyone on Calzaghe's resume...the same Sergio whose resume you question yourself
go on you muppet...make me laugh...show us the brilliance of your boxing knowledge

i wish there were more posts like this on the forum ....
WTF? are you dense? the TS asked who Floyd would be and i tried to answer...then you come in asking me why/how PAC is Henry Armstrong...
dude, reading comprehension.....get some....
You have to be a girl...lol. You talk like this chick I used to work with. No you didnt "try' to answer you came in here saying " i need to find a cherry picker". Just plain dumb.
Just to get one thing clear, I did not say Pacquiao was the Henry Armstrong of this era. I was watching this video of Pacquiao and Merchant said that Pacquiao is the Henry Armstrong of this generation.
