    What he has done so far is phenomenal, and the good part is that his career is not yet over.

    What title is this for because, I read that Hatton has the IBO 140 pound title. So to say Pacman will be the first man to win 6? Well you are wrong probably. If the IBO is accepted as legit then- Hearns has already won 6. Hearns won the IBO title against Nate Miller in 1999 in Manchester, England, which means with that title Hearns is a 6 time champion 10 years before Pacman might become that tomorrow. Hearns also won the WBU cruiserweight title in 1995.

    timeless accomplishment...worthy of top 25 ATG

    to add, his body frame is not suited for fighter that jump in weight and fight outside their comfort zone

    hoya and hearns are the physical attributes that allow them to win multiple division titles...

    The Ring belt (arguably the most credible) and the lineal title.

    And for the record - Oscar is a 5 weight champ in my eyes, he lost to both Sturm & Hopkins.

    Pacman is a great fighter because who he fought and all that, he does not need the endorsement of Bert Sugar .

    Pacman is a real fighter who fights them all and does not look for the easy fights. Compare him with Floyd who handpicks guys like JMM who he knows he can beat. I knew Floyd would pick JMM to fight the night JMM beat Diaz. The guy just does not want a real challenge. I understand why he doesn't, and who does? But then why should he claim to be an ATG? He isn't. That is an insult on all the guys who went to war and fought the best like Ali and Frazier Hagler and Hearns and Leonard and Duran and Pacman and Whitaker. He cannot be in thier class by fighting guys who are not a challenge to him.

    Now that would be unbelieveable, like when Buster beat Tyson.

    if you count the IBO and WBU titles, then Hearns was the first one to have 6. Matters what you count. Really the title count is getting rather ridiculous. Oscar did not deserve to be middleweight champion.
