Do you consider pacquiao's 8th belt legitimate?

[War Dinamita]

*****s are butt hurt that Floyd is only a 5 division champ LOLLLLL.

Manny is also a 5 time division champ.

He's a paper champ at 135, 147, and 154.

He didn't beat the best at 135. He beat a damaged fighter for his belt and didn't beat the best WW at the time for the belt. He won a vacant belt that belongs to Martinez when he fought Margacheato.

I'm still waiting for a fifth legit title.

tbf these days being a multi weight champ is just a word. there are like what 4-5 belts these days if not more

legit wins at what like 126, 130, 140, 147 and 154 for me. he beat solid guys who were worthy of being champs

He has legit wins in many divisions, no question. But his 135lb title was paper, so was his 147lb title and his 154lb title and his 140lb title is suspect as well.

I swear I made a thread like this and like 10 people bashed me bringing up guys like armstrong who won at catchweights as well

What titles did Armstrong win at a catch-weight?

[D-MiZe]

He has had like two catchweights.

Do you also look down at Sugar Ray Leonard and Henry Armstrong?

Most people that hate Pacquiao don't. Why not? MY theory:


Pacquiao isn't an American, as a contingency, he isn't a black American.

Why would I care whether or not Pac is American?

Really 154? How so?

What is all this talk about Armstrong and catch-weight stuff? I don't understand.

[jrosales13]

I think some of you guys look at a weight and see that when they do not weigh-in at the limit you guys think is a catch-weight.

Really what catch-weight fight did Armstrong win a title in?

I know he fought where neither fighter came in at the limit but that doesn't make it a catch-weight fight.

Both, Williams and Margarito weighed in at 145. But, it was not a catch-weight fight. The limit was 147 just so happened that both came in at 145.

Doesn't make it catch-weight.

Wern't you here when the rumour started? I got as much luck with an answer as you have thus far

[Bushbaby]

The title & status that goes along with it is real.The way he got them,is completely fabricated.The man he beat was handpicked,the venue was handpicked(California would have no part of it).The contract weight & both fighters rankings were bull**** & the whole event was a slap in the face to damn near every good fighter at 154.
