St. Alexander I (105-115AD) was the sixth pope.
Answer
Pope Sixtus I is traditionally recognised as the sixth pope, or bishop of Rome. The coincidence of the sixth pope being named Sixtus has raised the question of whether the name is fictitious, and may have led soon after to him being named in what are now some of the oldest documents as Xystus. In any case, Francis A. Sullivan SJ (From Apostles to Bishops) says that most scholars are of the opinion that, in spite of Church tradition, the church of Rome was led by a group of presbyters, and that bishops were not appointed to the church in Rome until later in the second century. In other words, there can have been no Pope Sixtus (or Xystus), although it is conceivable there was a presbyter of than name.
Based on what we now know, the first true, monepiscopal bishop of Rome was probably Pius I or Anicetus, meaning that Zephyrinus (199-217) or Callixtus I (217-222) might have been the sixth real bishop of Rome.
