manny Pacquiao is an 8 weight world champion: True or False?

the fact the he won a flyweight title and junior middleweight title is amazing. that will never be done again

 

its another weight class atsch

 

yeah ring championships dont count...they cant just make up titles to add to their collection...the belt is owned by a magazine thats owned by a promoter...as corrupt as the other ABC organizations are, at least they do force mandatory once in a while, RING doesnt

 

Ok, but was he also lineal for beating Barrera in that division? And if he was does that count?

 

World titles - 6:
WBC 112
IBF 122
WBC 130
WBC 135
WBO 147
WBC 154

Lineal titles - 4:
112 w/ 1 defense
126 w/ 2 defenses
130 w/ 0 defenses
140 w/ 0 defenses

If you count both as "titles," then Pacquiao is an 8 division champion. If you do not count Ring Magazine or media opinionated "lineal titles," then Pacquiao is a 6 division champion.

 

There it is. Perfectly stated.

 

Major World Titles:

WBC Flyweight Champion (112 lbs)
IBF Super Bantamweight Champion (122 lbs)
WBC Super Featherweight Champion (130 lbs)
WBC Lightweight Champion (135 lbs)
WBO Welterweight Champion (147 lbs)
WBC Light Middleweight Champion (154 lbs)

Minor World Titles:

IBO Light Welterweight Champion (140 lbs)
The Ring/Lineal Championship Titles at 126:

TS is full of shi-. hes got 8. when you count the ones hes got at 140 and 126

 

The Ring and IBO don't count, so no. Still a fantastic achievement, but it's not 8-divisions.

 

wikipedia says 8 as well

We can also see some hypocrisies forming here...

Many bias fanboys seem to have made recent claims that Mayweather should not be given credit for his earning of a lineal title at 154 over Alvarez because it was fought at a 152 pound catchweight. Those same people also do not count Pacquiao's world titles at 147 or 154 pounds as both were fought at 145 and 150 pound catchweights, respectively. And for THOSE people, Pacquiao has only earned true world titles in 4 divisions, 6 if you count Ring Magazine or lineal titles.

 

Zero credibility.

Everything has been broken down perfectly in this thread.

No need to go out of your way to try to make the IBO title look legitimate.

Most everybody counts lineal titles and fights at catchweights.

It's okay. Everybody agrees Pacquiao is an 8 division champion by some definition. You don't need to go into damage control mode.

 

:roll: why because i am a *******? atsch wikipedia says 8. blow that up your as-:deal

 

No, because your posts are so clearly agenda-driven... I don't resort to name-calling someone on the internet who I've never met in my life nor spoken to.

I say 8 too.

Good, we are in agreement.

Edit: I was saying "Zero credibility" to you using Wikipedia as a source. I would say go to college and see how fast that gets you a failed grade, but nowadays the same applies to high schools... that is how reliable Wikipedia is. You obviously don't know anything about it or else you wouldn't have cited it in an attempt to boost your opinions' argument.

 

you said i got zero credibility bite me, fa--ot:hi: they said 8. count 8 titles in 8 different weight divisions. duh. im just reporting what they are saying. LOL let that fit your agenda all you want

 

Read the edit...

Pretty obvious what I was referring to when saying "Zero credibility."
