Will we ever see another 8 weight champion?

The JMW title really doesn't count in my eyes. Margarito wasn't the champ and it was at 150lbs.

Even though. A fighter on his 8 weight class may not be able to beat even a bum there. Most probably he will lose first somewhere between on his 5th division - 7th division.

If this was so easy why nobody able to do it before Pac came along. No matter how these haters say. Pac 8 weight divisions titles accomplishment will be unbreakable for many generations to come.

Every time someone sets a bar there is someone out there who will jump over it some day, of course that being said it is true the range is crazy here but when you have 6" tall super bantams nothing is impossible. It may take some time maybe not even in our lifetimes but if boxing still exists in a few decades why not.

The crazy part is even he went around 12 divisions from 105-154.

Definitely. It's getting easier and easier to be a world champion. Someone eventually will be good enough and find the opponents to win titles in 8 divisions. Whether they'll do so while beating fighters as good as Pac did is a different question.

maybe... in the future some special kid out there might have what it takes and starts out young like manny and as he matures gradually climbs through the weight divisions that's pretty much what pacquiao did

This alone can be considered already as a record. Really how many fighters out there who fought as a pro from minimum weight (105) up to JMW (154)?

I love Pacman, I really do. But. Winning a belt does not equal being the best in the division. Hard to compare to 70 years ago when one person held the crown to today when 4 people hold a belt.

Got to get rid of these f**king belts. Or at least have many more unification fights.

Dude we are not talking here about Pac fighting every lineal champ in every divisions he was in. We are talking here about the titles. no matter how paper they are.

Pac was first to really manipulate CWs that's why he was able to do it , now that the cat is outa the bag everybody is onto them , , Pac was also stepping in the ring at 145 while fighting at 130 , so he was really the 145 Manny of today fighting smaller guys even back then , Mannys match making is brilliant , like Teddy said a stream of made to order opponents with most coming of their biggest loses .

Compared to Mannys CW of Margo Floyds was nothing , Margo is bigger than Canelo but had to lose twice as much weight , Mannys 154 title is a paper title , I don't think anybody can get away with draining fighters again the way Manny did , there will still be a lot of Cws but drained fighters stand out like dogs balls and people are on to it , take a look at Oscar vs Manny for the definition of drained fighter .

But karma will always win in the end , and it caught up to Manny .

We will only see it again when we see another fighter start in the pros at a very young age in the strawweight or flyweight divisions, and truly grow through the divisions like Manny did. Manny probably grew naturally to about 135lbs, the rest was bulk and talent that carried him.

Manny Pacquiao: one of the most exciting fighters I had the pleasure to watch in my lifetime
