The easiest guy on the list is Berto especially considering how many shots he took against the southpaw Collazo

Not to take anything away from the fighters of today because it isn't their rules but you can't compare this era of divisional titles to the old school fighters. Winning a belt in many divisions is nothing nowadays. There used to be only 8 weight classes and only 1 to 3 belts. Now you have more than double that many weight classes and a ridiculous amount of belts in each weight classes. This why you have so many fights not getting made because there are too many divisions and belts. Its easier to avoid and bring the business part of boxing running matchmaking. Most matches that should get made don't get made. It use to be almost a given the match would get made. Another thing about Pac is that the younger you start as a pro the better chance you'll grow into and past other divisions. At 16, he was just a boy and now he is 30 and in a full primed man's body. I only fought as an amateur but when I was 16 I won state Golden Gloves and boxed at 106 and by the time I quit boxing at the age of 30 I had boxed at and won tournaments at 106, 112, 119, 125, 132, 139, and 147. The weight classes are different now in the amateurs but I am not too big on myself winning in many divisions because I know I basically started before I was full grown and I stayed in the amateurs until my body was done developing as a prime man. Its not like I or any other boxers are weighing 10 pounds less than the weight class were are challenging at. Now there are always guys who are a bit bigger and smaller than the norm in each division but there is nothing magical here we fight at these weight classes because we are weighing at or around those weights. I am just pointing out the other side to why it is easy for boxers of this day to win more accolades and of course if you grow up in the pro ranks you'll be even more apt to grow into more divisions.

Berto because he is hittable and hurtable. If hurtable is a wordcompared to the other welters.

I think the Cotto fight would be a superb fight. Forget the catchweight shit too, they could make this legit at 147.
So far Shane Mosley is leading in this poll with 37% of the votes but it's unfortunate that PAC won't fight Shane at 147 and instead asked him to go down to 142 lbs if he wants to fight PAC... Team PAC felt Mosley is too big for PAC at 147... So scratch out Shane where PAC can possibly get his 7th division title...
.
I would much prefer to see Mayweather v Shane anyway.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I don't care as long as he lets them fight at 147 pounds.
I'm guessing that if PAC fights at 147 again, it will be against a Urango or a Berto...![]()
.
Berto looks like sh!t in his fight with Urango... I think Berto is the prime candidate where PAC can get his 7th division title and become the only boxer to have titles in 7 different weight divisions...
PAC vs. Berto for WBC welterweight title... IMO, PAC will KO/TKO Berto inside 6 rounds...
.
Yeah, I knew this would be said after last night. I guess PAC has a legacy/record vs money dilemma here, though. Then again if he could beat one of the better WWs, his legacy would be cemented even better; while making more money.
I've been reading long time. This will be my first post.
If Manny Pacquiao fights at Welterweight Division and gets one of the championship belt. He cement more his legacy as one of the LEGENDS of boxing The FIRST and ONLY Fighter and boxer who achieved:
7th Division Champion
4th lineal Champion ("the man who beat the man") in four different weight classes
Wow! That's hard to beat. Very interesting...
I will put him one of the Top 5 all time boxer. His resume is FULL pack! I wish i watch him fight from the beginning of his career.This Asian sensation is Bruce Lee Reincarnation.
