With all due respect to Floyd it's a lot easier to do that with 4 champions in each weight division, and super champions, interim champions etc. Berto is actually interim WBA welterweight champion. Go figure.Comment

That's not what qualifies Berto. Berto is a former 2x welterweight titlist. He won the vacant WBC title vs. Rodriguez and the IBF title vs. Zaveck.Comment

Well if u want to be accurate since everyone in here is *****ing, he's won 5 lineal (real) titles and beaten 3 lineal champions over 5 divisions.Comment

That is absolute categorical proof that titles should not be taken seriously.Eh, I wasn't in love with Pac/Margarito being for a world title but it is what it is. Can't really take much away from the lineal titles Pac won, plus the WBO from Cotto. Granted that the lineal 130lb was by beating JMM in their 2nd fight, where the media was split about the decision.
Shrug I could go on but the point being made is that these stats don't mean anything without context (yes, that includes Manny being 8 division champ).
Margarito should appear on Pac's resume for what he was at the time.....
A slow, plodding, shot, welterweight, BUM.Comment

This ^^Belts don't mean shizzz nowadays. There's 4 or 5 in every weight and super and silver and gold and bronze and super-duper and interim and anything else you can think of.
Broner will be a 4 division champ soon for Christ sake and we've seen he can't beat any top level opponent. Same for Berto...
You are all fcuked until you forget about the belt, and look at the opponent.Comment

the bold ^^You are correct, on both counts !
I just hope you're honest.
A lot of silly pacstains use Mannys 8 divisional titles to infer greatness.
It comes down to who you beat, and when/how..... regardless as to what belt/division they hold/represent.
That way you can compare across era's.
Someone was always going to tip-toe through the tulips to get more divisions/champs.
best post of the thread
