I was recearching Manny's record at boxrec, what a mess! WTF is "international" titles? Please list the times Manny won legit world titles in each weight division. Thanks
Linear/Recognized Champ- 112, 126, 130, 140 Alphabet Titles- 122, 135, 147, 154 As we all know, the last two were at catchweights, which tends to lead to 30 page debates.
He is a 6 weight class champion which is an outstanding acomplisment. He should not be reconized by anyone as a Welterweight or Light Middleweight champion intil he defeats a current champion in a fight where the weight limit is 147 or 154 Lbs.
Yeah after his two most recent losses, he goes on lengthy stretches where he does little. You've got to love his 6 defense streak as the feared WBC International super bant. After he lost to Singsurat in the 3rd, he fought such names as Jamili, Barotillo, Chae, and Hussein... And his 6 fight run as WBC International super feather after the Morales defeat. This go around: Velazquez, Larios, Solis, and faded legends whom were defeated in the fight prior to Pacquiao: Morales twice and Barrera. This paragraph is critical, but I do consider him a top 35 boxer all time easy, so the nitpicking comes with the territory. Everyone knows who he is and always will be compared with...
Was the Barrera I win included in the title list of Pac? It was a non title fight if I may recall. :huh
I hear nobody bitching on Oscar or leonard for these things? All his titles are legit because he has proven himself worthy of being champ in any of those divisions. only one I dont really recognize is the 154 one, if he makes a defense at 154 against a guy or beats cotto at 154 for his belt I would consider him worthy of that divisiontitle as well. He should have fought berto now.
Dude Barerra refuses the WBC belt he held the ring title and was announced by HBO as THE UNIVERSAL TRUE FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION If that win is not a championship win then nothing else is atsch
