    In terms of what? Because no way as a fighter is Pacquaio better than mayweather or Hearns and you'll see that in his Marth 13th schooling.

    I disagree with the term champion and would prefer calling them 5 division belt holders.

    Your ranking is fine with me. :good

    Out of this list who is the best 5 Division champ?

    Leonard for me is not 5 division champ, either is DLH.

    Who is the real 5 division champ.

    Armstrong today would be a 6 divison champion with all the titles that are flying around.

    With this many champions, I no longer think TODAY, it relly means anything.

    Hell Ruiz was beating by Jones Jr, and people make a big deal out of this.

    Had this many alpha titles been around in there day, I can say with good faith, that Ross, Greb, Walker, Fitz, Canzi, Robinson, and others would have repeated this feat imo.

    Depends what we're judging them by but Leonard was the best, followed by Hearns. Delahoya is probably at the bottom of the lot for me in terms of ability. Pacquaio has a better resume in terms of names than Mayweather but is an inferior boxer, which should be proven in the ring PEDs or not

    I did not mean the best fighter out of them but the one with the best claim to be a 5 division champ, with all these belts around these days who was the "realest" 5 division champ.

    I had Oscar losing to Sturm so that rules him out.

    I don't have Leonard winning the 175 title as winning two belt's at once does not cut it, so Leonard is out.

    Who is the closest to having the 5 best wins for the 5 belts in the 5 wieght classes?

    Leonard has the best wins overall but I don't have him winning the 175 title.
