He already was WW champ. Floyd will have to win the lineal championship in another division to equal pac's feat of 4 lineals. That's the only stat that should matter.

To answer the TS's question, like other posters have mentioned
out of all the trinkets the WBC has the most legacy and prestige.

Well he never seemed that intrested in the ring belt so maybe he just likes the bling on the WBC belt.

WBC belt is NOT the belt.
There are several champions. One is a lineal, another is titlist. For a boxing historian, lineal champion is what matters.
Definition of terms;
lineal = the champion, the man of the division. Oh and just to clarify the ring champion is not the lineal champion, although it is usually the case.
titlist = person who gets a piece of the four sanctioning bodies belt.
Ideally, with one belt per division, the lineal is also the titlist. However with four title per divisions, it gets complicated. The WBA was the oldest organization, followed by the WBC, IBF then WBO.
How to become the lineal champion?
There are two generally accepted way. One is to beat the current lineal champion. Now the lineal champion might have a belt, or he might not have. Doesn't matter. The lineage stays with that person so long he's not defeated, vacated or dead.
There are times when there is no lineal champion because he moved up in weight, died or voluntarily vacates or retire. The second way to became the champion is to arrange a fight between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranked fighters of that division. Again, it doest matter if these ranked fighters are titlist, so long as they are universally recognized the best fighters of that division. Nowadays it is also becoming acceptable that a fight between the 1st and 2nd ranked fighter determines the lineal champ.
Now lets fo back to Pacquiao's case. The reason he's a 7-div world champ is because:
1. 112 = lineal, WBC champ.
2. 122 = IBF champ
3. 126 = lineal, no sanctioning belt
4. 130 = lineal, WBC
5. 135 = WBC
6. 140 = lineal, no sanctioning belt
7. 147 = WBO
For a boxing purist, he is 4-division champ. That are the divisions where he is lineal. Coincidentally, two of these division he did not held any belt. The lineal champs he defeated, Barrera and Hatton, does not have belts.
