    Officially Pacquiao has won a world titles a fly, super bantom, super feather and light weight.

    The alphabetical bodies now have interim titles, even when the official title holder is fit; Super Champions whenever the WBA is unified, and have even created an emiritus title for Vitali Klitchko.

    To recognise the feat of what Pacquiao has achieved should he be awarded retrospective championship recognition at Super Fly, Bantom and Feather?

    How many divisions has he been linear in?

    I would give him super feather, as he defeated Morales, Barrera and JMM (amongst others) ..... even though generally there were no trinkets on offer.

    Not even close at 135, a KO win over a handpicked opponent.

    If he won the title, then he won the title, simple as that. It's the same reason Floyd is a 5 weight class champion, when you include his win over Oscar at 154.

    Pardon me but Oscar vs Floyd was for the WBC title held by Oscar at 154 lbs.

    Thunder's right. Floyd moved up from 147 to 154 to fight Oscar, came back down to 147 to fight Hatton.
