Why don't people give Henry Armstrong credit for having 4 titles at one time?

Young people do not appreciate the fact there were only 8 weight classes,and only one champion in each class.

What Armstrong did can never be duplicated.

Pacman and Hank fight completely different.

Pacman fights more like Willie Pep but with more combinations and less defense.



Bob Fitszimmons went up as many WHOLE divisions as Armstrong and was undisputed in all of them.



Manny Pacquiao has never been the undisputed champion in any 1 given division.

He lost to Morales, beat Morales in the rematch but what people don't see is that right inbetween those matches Morales lost to Zahir Raheem. Pacman, like Mayweather, had an ABC title at 147lbs without fighting the best.

Armstrong always fought the best

If its not an official win, I doesn't count. You can't give a guy a title he never officially had, even if we feel he won.

Ex: Pacquiao/ Bradley

Someone ban the troll above me please. Is that possible?

I mean I can see why not having the title, but why don't people mention him being robbed against Ceferino Garcia? I never saw the fight, but almost everyone says that Hank won the fight and that people were choosing a draw before it ever happened. The fix was definitely in. So he won that fight, why don't people give him credit for winning titles in 4 WHOLE weight classes?

BQ: Is Pacquiao the closest thing to Hammerin Hank, not just today but all time. Style wise and achievement wise?
