    Would you consider this a world record in boxing?

    Did Pac is the first boxer who fought 5 straight boxing champions on his very first fight when he officially moved up in every division he went in?

    When Pac officially moved up in these weight divisions. His very first fight were immediately against these current champions.

    Featherweight - Barrera
    Super Featherweight - Morales
    Lightweight - Diaz
    Light Welterweight - Hatton
    Welterweight - Cotto

    Any boxer out there did the same? Mostly, it is a common knowledge when a boxer moving up they took a tune up fight first to test the uncharted water. There were some who brave enough and did it but I don't think as many as what Pac did.

      Oh boy! You just add another reason why Pac should be hated by certain jealous fan boys here.

        By looking at it. You can't say Pac was a protected fighter at all.

                I was thinking it for a while and checked if Oscar and Floyd did more (both are multiple champion as well).

                    Champions as in belt holders? or Champions as in top fighters of that time?

                    As in belt holders....I know Barrera won a belt when he beat Morales or Naseem, I can't remember which but I know the belt was vacated shortly after. So Pacquiao didn't win a featherweight title from Barrera. Did he?
