    the ones were he actaully won a title, not that ring belt. look I like the ring belt, but its not really a title. it is to the ppl, but not to anybody else. Like Marquez is good, but when you have 3 out of the 4 belts than your champ, like Campbell, simple as that.

    If he fights hatton, will a title be on the line?

    pac is currently a 5-weight champ. the ring belt and lineal title @126 by beating barrera has more legacy that his current WBC lightweight ABC belt. so that's championships (titles) @ 112, 122, 126, 130 and 135 as well as lineal titles @ 112, 126 and 130.

    a win vs. hatton @140 will therefore make pac a 6-weight champ.

    The Ring belt doesn't count as a title.

    but bollocks to that.

    respect to marquez and his wba and ibf titles.

    but naz was the featherweight champion and barrera beat him.

    pac beat barrera and therefore became champion.

    naz had a belt remember and got stripped for not fighting istvan kovacs. :patsch

    how about the lineal title? and why this fixation on ABC belts. if you beat "the man" in that weight, then you are the champ irregardless of actually having an ABC belt. barrera was universally acknowledged as being "the man" @126 even though he was ABC beltless (stripped) when pac beat him.

    nonsense.

    to every sane person on the planet hatton is the champ at jr welter.

    belt or no belt.

    he's unbeaten in that division ffs.

    how can he not be. :huh

    pac would be a 6 weight champ if he beats hatton. :deal

    Pacquiao is a 4 weight World Champion.

    WBC flyweight title
    IBF super bantamweight title
    WBC super featherweight title
    WBC lightweight title

    All his other wins at different weights were for "International" titles which dont count.

    the barrera fight was not recognized as a title fight..ring magazine just knew it was BS

    still doesnt make him a 5 weight champ, though
