I can't wait to see Floyd Mayweather get the snot beat out of him but I'm not sure Pac-Man is the man to do it. Mayweather would have trounced the Pacquaio who fought Marquez.

Winning multiple titles is impressive but the luster is taken off a bit when you realize how many weight classes there are now and how many sanctitioning bodies there are. Henry Armstrong holding the ONLY recognized titles SIMULTANEOUSLY at welterweight (147 pounds), lightweight (135) and featherweight (126) is far more impressive IMO. There are some champions in the last decade or so of the diluted titles who I doubt would have given Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, or Willie Pep a good workout.
