The world’s number one pound-for-pound boxer. The only sevenfold champion in seven weight divisions. The only boxer to win four linear championships in four weight divisions. The best boxer in Asia. A living legend who even ranks higher than Muhammad Ali. He is none other than the most phenomenal boxer in the world, Manny Pacquiao.
Manny Pacquiao, 31, was born in Bukidnon, Philippines, from an economically poor family. He had little education and later moved to boxing, hoping to help ease his family’s weak social conditions. He first fought as a lightweight flyweight and became an aggressive fighter.
Later, Pacquiao experienced two losses, before facing one of the greatest Mexican fighters of all time, Erik Morales. But after this, he fought back and earned the name “Mexecutioner” for defeating and knocking down Mexican greats like Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Márquez, Marco Antonio Barrera and American fighters like Oscar dela Hoya and David Díaz.
Pacquiao’s victories against dela Hoya, Hatton and Cotto propelled him to be the best fighter in this division. Having multiple championship belts was a difficult feat, and with that, Pacquiao is a name that will be on par with the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson. But you might wonder how Pacquiao made such a name for himself. Now here are the answers.
