Okay that makes sense. So why are people saying Pac is the lineal champion in 8 different weight classes?

he's not and no one is saying that. you misheard.

pac is considered lineal in 4 (112 , 126 , 130 and 140) by most

pac is considered lineal in 3 (126 , 130 and 140) by ring magazine

pac was an alphabet champion in 6 (112 , 122 , 130 , 135 , 147 and 154)

theres no process other than beating the undisputed champion thus inheriting the title via lineage

since champions in the alphabet era are rarely undisputed to start with, lineal champions are accordingly even more disputed

Okay thanks for breaking it down. But when they announce the winner after the fight, they say the winner of his 8th world championship, were they referring to 8 different weight classes including catchweights or something?
