    Please don't mention Floyd Mayweather in the same sentence as the great Henry Armstrong. Mayweather is a fake champion that fights only hand picked fighters that are too old, too small or not in their prime. And he's scared as hell to fight the Great Manny Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao is the one comparable to the great Henry Armstrong. :happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy

    He did.

    He did have to vacate the Featherweight title shortly afterwards. After beating Ambers, he turned around and fought the Ring's No. 1 welterweight contender Ceferino Garcia.

    So he held all three titles at one point but did he fight as a 3 division champion.

    May doesn't have to make 160, as long as Sergio isn't over the MW limit Floyd can weigh as a welterweight if he wanted to. Pac did that against Margarito for the 154 lb title.

    Most titles in the 8 original weight classes:

    4 - Manny Pacquiao
    3 - Henry Armstrong

    Floyd can tie Hank if he decides to put health second and just fight. But first, he will demand OSDT and flat guarantee, just like the way Hank used to do it.

    :patsch Mayweather cant win, can he?

    let me guess, Ortiz was too inexperienced right?

    maybe floyd should fight Berto, Zaveck, or Mike Jones next. would that satisfy u haters? or are they too young like Ortiz?

    would he get credit for beating Pacquiao? hes small, old, and not in his prime either.

    comments like this just show u how highly Floyd haters think of him as a boxer. they feel that a 35 year old boxer is still in his prime and should be fighting this "perfect" fighter with no flaws that doesnt even exist because thats what yall picture floyd as, the best fighter and damn near perfect. am i right? :lol::yep:yep:yep

    Floyd is ATG status according to *******s. :deal

    There's still some difference with Armstrong though.

    He won the 3 titles from the 8 traditional weight class.

    The only case here is that Floyd has also won the lightweight title.

    How about he takes care of business in his own weight first, a business thats 3 years overdue..... if he wins that (which he should), then we can take it from there.

    Floyd is a welterweight and there's no reason for him to keep going up.He needs to go back to 147 and fight his weight.
