Guinness Makes An Error About Pacquiao's Accomplishments
Collapse
-
The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Boxing has Pac only with 6 titles also. Didn't read this entire thread, so pardon if i repeated that.
The Ring belt is always been a polarizing issue with fans. For example, Mike Tyson even after he won world titles from Berbick(WBC), Bonecrusher Smith (WBA), and Tucker (IBF) didn't beat Spinks who was the RIng (lineal) champ. So some regarded Spinks who beat larry Holmes (although i thought he loss rematch) as the true HW champion.
After Tyson finished Spinks in 91 seconds than he was finally the undisputed champion.
I just go by the four major sanctioning bodies, but i won't lose sleep if you want to add the lineal title, its very subjective.

I tell you what... write Boxrec and Top Rank and plead with them using your personal interpretations that you've shared here. Let me know when they are hit with your enlightenment and change their presentations.
He has either a Major sanctioning Body belt or a Lineal Title in 8 different weight classes.
And that's a fact.

Tell all of us exactly when the Ring and IBO became official world titles.
Two "top contenders" fighting with one being awarded a belt by a ****zine.... tell me when that became an official world title.
Then explain the IBO. Do this so I'll understand how he's won 8 world titles.

That's because regardless to Tyson having 3 Titles at that particular time, Micheal Spinks was still the Lineal Champion so until Tyson beat him he wasn't THE Champion. Despite having 3 or the 4 Alphabet Titles.

Essentially, a ring champ or lineal champ is never stripped. Sometimes, they have legit reasons to ignore a mandatory defense, other times they get stripped for flat out ducking.
Tyson had the WBC,WBA, and IBF titles and he also beat Larry Holmes the guy many felt was the real champ after losing the gift decision to Spinks in the rematch.
Like i said, after 91 seconds Spinks and his "lineal" title were finally gone after ducking Tucker and getting his gift rematch win.Last edited by HaglerSteelChin; 10-30-2011, 04:26 PM.
