Contradiction

In the History section of this article, it states the following. No boxer has been recognized that has won seven different world championships in seven different categories of weight by a major recognizing body. Two boxers, Héctor Camacho of Puerto Rico and Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines, held seven championships in seven weight divisions, although not all were awarded by the major sanctioning bodies. Filipino Manny Pacquiao clinched the feat when he defeated Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico who held the World Boxing Organization welterweight title in November 14, 2009 at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. I don't know enough about this topic ... but those sentences seem to contradict each other. The first two sentences say that no boxer has ever achieved the feat ... and the third sentence says that Pacquiao has achieved the feat. Can someone fix this or reword it? Thanks. (Joseph Spadaro (talk) 10:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Pacquiao won two championships by the Ring and the IBO. –Howard the Duck 12:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Legitimacy of septuple championship

Camacho's later titles should not be counted and Camacho should not be considered a septuple champion. Those titles are not major titles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.168.40.4 (talk) 13:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's why it is... colorful. The very last one (the NBA one) has a bit of explaining to do, and that needs sources if it's major enough to be counted as a minor title. –Howard the Duck 14:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the National Boxing Association certainly claims to be a "world" championship, they mention it explicitly in their Google intro ([1]), as well as including the names of their different titles ("World, Intercontinental, Americas") in their logo. They run their own "world rankings" ([2]) which list the same championship that Camacho won in the same class as the significantly more credible belts. Does that make them credible? Hell no. But that gives them the same credibility that other minor organizations have, almost none. I'm not asking to include Camacho in the table of major titles, but he has the championships to be on the combination table. - Caribbean~H.Q. 08:59, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No objections? Then its safe to assume that any edit removing Camacho from the combination table can be reverted as vandalism. - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:13, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I object, including the IBC and NBA makes a mockery of this page.Mr.Apples2010 (talk) 19:59, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pacquiao WBO Welterweight defenses?

The first table claims that Pacquiao has defended his WBO Welterweight title once while the second table claims zero defenses. Since the first is "major" and the second includes "major and minor" the lower number for the second table doesn't make much sense. Which is correct? 143.239.96.226 (talk) 12:40, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wait I haven't edited that yet. –Howard the Duck 12:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
