Pretty simple. He's a 5 division titlist. But a 3 or 4 division champion. I say 3 or 4 because I have no idea whether anyone else had a case for being the man to beat at 112 while Pac was champ. The possible 3 is really my own bias since I don't think he beat Marquez in the rematch to lift his title at 130. Obviously even that fight aside you could argue he deserved in after avenging the loss to Morales, but then again MOrales was coming off the loss to Raheem blah blah blah. He definetly doesn't deserve to be called a real LW champion off of beating David Diaz. Either way his resume is great, the kind of opponents a fighter has been in with and/or beaten is worth so much more than titles anyways.
In my eyes Manny is a 4 weight world-clampion and a 5 weight title holder, the only division he isnt the real champ is 135lbs Diaz is a paper title holder Nate Campbell is the champ.
He has 5 so i voted 5.
If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize. Muhammad Ali.

As much as i like Pacquiao i consider him a 3 weight division champion purely because i didn't think he beat Marquez in there rematch.
You have it the wrong way round when you call him a 4 division champion and 5 division titlist. Simply because Manny never held a title at featherweight. You can make a case for him being the best featherweight for a while (beating Barrera and drawing with Marquez). But the fact is that he has only held actual belts at 4 weights, so 4 divison titlist can“t be up for debate. 5 division champion CAN though, as that“s a matter of opinion (if he“s been the man to beat at five different weights or not)
