      Lineal Flyweight world champion (112 pounds)
      Junior feathweight world champion )122 pounds)
      Lineal Featherweight world champion (126 pounds)
      Junior Lightweight world champion (130 pounds)
      WBC lightweight world champion (135 pounds)
      Lineal lightwelterweight world champion (140 pounds)
      WBO welterweight champion of the world (147 pounds) first and only 7 division world champion
      After this video :
      WBC Superwelterweight champion of the world (154 pounds) first and only 8 division world champion
      WBA welterweight champion of the world (147 pounds) oldest welterweight in history to win a world champion at 40 yrs old
      Never once retiring, not even when he got KO'd, been fighting nonstop throughout his whole entire life.
      What more does a guy have to do and accomplish now that he's 42 years old to rank him as the Greatest of this generation?

    Pacquiao now at age of 42 is scheduled to fight on August 21, 2021 in Las Vegas, NV against the undefeated / unified WBC & IBF 147lbs champion E. Spence Jr an eleven years younger. They're fighting for the "lineal', Ring plus WBA, WBC, IBF titles. Spence is much taller, has longer reach, way bigger, heavier. And he's the current # 1 in the Welterweight plus the # 5 in the Pound for Pound best as of June 8, 2021.

    Try what Manny went through ..
    Sleep on the streets, eat almost nothing, savor what little food you have, sleep with nothing ..
    Then on his early training days and almost No allowance, he'd share his food with Buboy... Manny said in his interview..
    That Hammered Manny onto what he is Now... Can any of the Boxers tell that sordid tale?

    In a statement a month ago Floyd said Arum is just doing what he has to do to make money off pac and when he is ready to seriously set up a fight he will call floyd.

    @DarkswordSerathus, "many people believe he belongs in the top 5". Erm, like who? You mean his mum, dad, sister, wife and kids? Jesus...I've never seen one serious analyst put him in the top 5, or even the top 10 (and Brian Kenny is truly awful). Great, great fighter, but not even top 20 in my eyes.

    @frankjfy12 Even after Floyd beat Mosley they didn't rank him and even after he beats Ortiz the WBOgus will still not rank him.
    The reason they do not rank Floyd as No.1 contender is because then pac will be forced to fight a mandatory defense and they do not want that.
    Give it up, the whole floyd is avoiding pac myth is over. All the boxing writers have now stated it is obvious that Arum has not wanted a pac fight all along. Roach has even said Floyd will be pac's last fight.

    @iljn1988 It makes me laugh when they say pac shoudl be in top 5 all time, he isn't even the best in his own division right now, LMAO!
    Will wait and see what they say when Mayweather schools him.

      In catchweight fights, if one has to drain, the other has to bloat himself. You should look at both fighters, not only at one. The catchweights leveled the playing field enough for these classic fights to have been made. Pacquiao is a small guy and he is going up their division to fight these big guys. Instead of the big guys going down on Pacquiao's division, they gave him catchweight. Fair enough?
      Pacquiao vs Cotto at 145 is a fair weight for both fighters. Considering Pacquiao wentup to fight him and Cotto weighed in at 146 in his last fight against Clottey. Pac move up 5 lbs and Cotto moved down just 1 lb. Keep in mind, Pac has never weighed 145 ever in his career. Cotto is a natural Welterweight and that he can re-hydrate up to 150-160 lbs at fight-night. Also, Cotto said he was at the best shape of his career when he faced Pac.

      Trubz I think you did not click *Read more* on my last comment. You should. Now, to put things into perspective, see the list of weight classes and how long Pacquiao spent in them.
      Flyweight 108-112 - 4 years
      Bantamweight 118-122 - 4 years
      Featherweight 126-130 - 5 years
      ~
      Lightweight 135 - One fight [2008]
      Welterweight 147 - One fight [Six months later]
      Light Welterweight 140 - [Six months later]
      Welterweight 145 - [Six months later]
      Welterweight 147 - [Four months later]*
      Light Middleweight 150 - [Eight months later]**
      ~
      Welterweight 147 - 2011
      Welterweight 144 - 2011***
      Welterweight 147 - 2012
      Welterweight 147 - 2012
      * Clottey weighed ~165, while Pacquiao weighed 150~ on fight night.
      ** Margarito weighed 168, while Pacquiao weighed 151 on fight night.
      *** Pacquiao fought Marquez at a catchweight of 144.
      ~ This entire segment occurred in two years.
      As you can see Pacquiao skipped an entire lightweight division and jumped headfirst into the welterweight division. While we all complain of him draining fighters now, you fail to realize that he was still growing into the division and was a very small fighter at the time. The reasons for catchweights were legitimate. While Pacquiao had 3-5 years to develop into his other weight classes, he jumped two of them in two fights, then proceeded to battle welterweight and light middleweight giants. Remember, Clottey, De La Hoya, and Margarito fought a fighter fresh out of featherweight and outweighed him by 15-17 lbs, you have to give credit where it's due.
