    I'm sure this has probably been covered before, but how is Pacquiao an eight division world champion? To me it looks like he won legitimate - wbc, wba, wbo, ibf - titles in six weight classes. He took Hatton's IBO title at 140 so perhaps you can make a case there but that still only makes seven.

    I'm not trying to raise the ire of loyal Pacfans here, it's a genuine question...

    What about the WBF Masters Intercontinental Bronze title?
