Ranking the Most Unbreakable Records in Boxing | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Manny Pacquiao's biggest fans tend to make too much out of his world titles in eight divisions. They point to it as proof that he's the greatest pound-for-pound star of all time. 

That's a huge overstatement. In today's alphabet soup era, world titles are far easier to come by than they were in previous eras. And Pacquiao's light middleweight belt was won at a catchweight of 150 pounds, four below the true light middleweight limit. 

Still, it's a remarkable achievement just the same, and one that is unlikely to be matched or surpassed. To put it into context, Pacquiao won his first world title at 112 pounds. That means he went up 38 pounds, over a third of his body weight, to win his heaviest title.
