    Not taking anything away from Manny but you're overstating your claim. We now have 17 weight divisions instead of 8 and we have so many belt holders that we were forced to create this fake "lineal" title. The person holding the "lineal" title may not be the best in the division. 50 years ago you knew who the best was - he was the one with the crown. There were no competing belts.

    Read up on Henry Armstrong - he was featherweight, lightweight and welterweight champion. It is taking nothing away from Manny to say that others have been dominant in many different weight divisions.

        Beating a Margarito coming off suspension, for a vacant title, for a catchweight holds zero weight. Absolutely no credit is given to many or that fight, it was a farce. You should be ashamed to call yourself a boxing fan and claim that beating Margarito was an accomplishment for Manny. All people wanted to see was Roy fight Holyfield. Guess who beat Holyfield? And guess who Roy ended up fighting? gtfoh

          Oh, beating the guy that Floyd was absolutely terrified to fight was no accomplishment? Go *** yourself. You make those jersey shore kids look like Einstein. Ruiz was always a paper champ bum created by dkp. That guy was given so many bs decisions its a damn joke. Ask anyone who knows anything about boxing and they will tell you Ruiz is the biggest joke of a hw champ in the last century, if not history of the sport.

            Yea, Floyd was so afraid that he fought the guy that Knocked Margarito out. You're an idiot.

                  Talks **** about Ruiz at HW, praises Pac for beating Margarito at 150 after he had already been busted as a true coward for cheating, banned and KOed.. FAIL.

                  Ruiz beat the man that beat the man. That's what history displays. You can't rewrite it little guy.

                    Here we go again with the triangle theories. Fact: fmj ducked margarito, which cost him an 8 mil paycheck: would have been his highest at that point in his career.

                      Its entirely possible that Floyd avoided Margs and Pac's win over him was ****ty. Its not one or the other.
