Flash Elorde still holds the world record for being the longest world super featherweight champion ever - 7 years. so he made 10 successful defenses.
For those reasons i am reluctant to say that Pacquiao is greater than Flash Elorde.
Yes, winning titles in 7 weight divisions is already a very rare achievement. but it would have been the "rarest" if Pacquiao were able to defend each title at least 3x.
'ika nga ng marami - its so easy to become no. 1. It is hard to stay no. 1
For me, i consider 10 defenses of one title in one weight division in 7 years more difficult than 7 titles in 7 weight divisions without defending each one (oops not really, I just remembered that Pacquiao was able to defend some of his earlier titles a few times.
TRIVIA - did you know that Pacquiao made a (succesful) title defense during the Oakwood mutiny in July 2003?
