Pretty sure that's not an opinion but a fact? There's this guy called Manny Pacquiao, yeah.. He's pretty good, won titles in 8 different weight divisions.
If you look back at the records of the old timers, before there were twice as many weight classes and four times as many belts, each of their belts would be worth 8 of today's. So I gotta go with guys like Robinson or Armstrong on this one.
5 divisions? What are these 5 divisions he was lineal at? He was lineal at Flyweight when he beat Sasakul, lineal at Featherweight when he beat Barrera, lineal at SFW when he beat Marquez and lineal at JMW when he beat Hatton. Seems like 4 to me.
This. You have to take into account all the damn belts nowadays along with the huge increase in divisions.
Mayweather reitred making Manny #1 and Bradley #2 when they fought. Lots of people will agree and lots will disagree but with Bradley having the best resume at welter excluding Manny and Floyd he's more than good enough to make Manny's claim for lineal legitimate.
Nobody really cares. HW men can only win one division. You forget to dudu in the little league and you're in another division. The record you talk about is only achievable by midgets.
