    This feat will never be matched its one hell of a achievement

    The way he has gone up in weight over powering the bigger elite guys was simply incredible


    Do you think it will ever be matched or surpassed ?

    That 8th division title was a farce ..Come on now Was Margarito even ranked at the time and wasn't it at a catchweight ?

    fighters at their 4 th division are asking for catchweights let alone 8

    some even asking for catchweights at their 2/3 division

    It's a great achievement. But let's not act like it's mind-blowing stuff. Toney and Jones both went from Middlweight to Heavyweight, that's much more impressive imo.

    And that's the reason it's a farce championship fights should be fought at the full weight limit..

    Lets put it in perspective Pac fighting at ww would be the same if Mayweather was fighting at mw or LH

    I don't want to take away from the performance it is to be commended but calling him an 8 divisions champion is a joke when it was a catch weight and Cheato was coming off his ban

    Eight division titles are worthless. 118-110 when he faced TBE. Cherryquiao's titles couldn't do anything to Floyd.

    Pac only asked for catch weight at his 7/8th division which was understandable

    Yeah but the fact that they say he won his 8th division title against a guy who one wasn't even a champ two came off a 1 yr ban not sure how long it was and three it was at a catchweight .l

    I don't recognize that as a legit title win

    Jones fought a fighter who out-weighed him by 33 pounds....

    Several of those titles were paper trinkets.
