Dates in bold indicate when they earned their fourth division title. Interim championships are not included unless they are raised to legitimate champion status. Only Manny Pacquiao has successfully defended four divisions in the initial eight weight classes in boxing history. He did so from 2004 to 2011. Pacquiao first captured a world championship in 1998 at featherweight, where he defeated Erik Morales by unanimous decision. He went on to win two more titles at super bantamweight and junior flyweight before moving up to flyweight in 2003. In his first fight at this new weight class, he knocked out former champion Ricky Hatton in seven rounds to claim the WBC crown. After one successful defense of this title, Pacquiao moved up to lightweight where he took on Miguel Cotto for the WBO belt. The bout was close but ended in a majority draw, thus awarding the belt to Cotto. This is when Pacquiao decided to switch divisions, ending his run at lightweight. He returned to the lighter weights three years later and reclaimed his titles from both Morales and Hatton. In 2007, he added another world title to his collection when he beat Marlon Brando Haydock for the WBA crown. In 2008, he made his fourth defense against then-undefeated Oscar De La Hoya.
