    Exactly! the sport has change so much and added so many titles and weight classes since the old days that it really isn't as much an achievement as some believe.

    It is diluted quite a bit that ''8 division champion'' label, he has achieved a phenomenal amount and I respect the hell out of him as a fighter, him and Floyd grew into average at best sized welterweights and consistently dispatched bigger guys coming in near middleweight sizes.

    against an opponent not ranked at 154, coming off a vicious KO loss and a year suspension which casted a big doubt over his good but hardly great career until that point

    pretty ****ing disgraceful

    Not Pac's fault, blame his promoter, Bob Arum.

    yes, when you consider that becoming champ in 4 weight classes, even in todays watered down classes, is a feat than not many can ever accomplish, then 8 division champ is something only the top .10% can ever even dream of attempting.

    Don't ask him to critique Pacquiao's timing of opponents, he'll need to either admit Pacquiao has 'cherry picked' more often than Mayweather or retract his statements about Mayweather.

    can you tell me what LEGIT title he won at 130 and 140? which of the 4 titles did he hold? Can you be the 154lb champ fighting for a vacant title but having never fought at 154?

    Great fighter, yes. 8 weight champ, no.. he's won real world titles at 6 weight classes, which is why knowledgeable people rank him as a 6 weight world champion. The 6th was also abit of a farce.

    Its amazing super duper achievement. Not only is Pacquiao the best boxer in this planet to lace them up, but his is also the best boxer of kepler 425b. In kepler, he easily defeated lloyd jayweather jr by ko.

    Manny has such a powerful presence, that we shouls re-write the bibles to have manny as our lord and savior. Jesus christ would have ducked manny if he was not retired. Jesus called manny out but purposely ducked manny by asking for random testing, manny's gold glowing sparking halo should be proof enough that he is definitely not doping.

    He fought at 111 and missed weight, stupid. And lost that fight. Disgraceful cheat looking for an advantage, right?

    Golovkin asking for a catch weight in his 2nd division, but only against the tough fights, what does that make him?
