'''Marco Barrera''' is considered to be one of the best fighters of this era, and one of the best Mexican boxers in history. He is a three weight division champion, and beat his share of great opponents. His amateur record was 56-4 and he was a five-time Mexican national champion.

Barrera turned professional at the age of 15, and had his first fight in Mexico City. He quickly moved up the ranks and began boxing in the United States, initially, at the [[Great Western Forum]] in Inglewood, California. It is here where Barrera made a name for himself as a ferocious and hungry fighter.

His first major fight was against Daniel Jimenez for the WBO 122-lb. title. Barrera won a 12-round decision. Barrera then made a string of defenses before engaging in a fight with Olympic Gold Medalist [[Kennedy McKinney]]. It was [[HBO|HBO's]] first-ever installment of ''[[HBO Boxing After Dark]]'', and a very thrilling one at that, as both fighters put up a great fight. Barrera knocked down McKinney five times, though he was down once himself, and ended up stopping the game McKinney in the 12th round.

Later that same year (1996) Barrera fought former bantamweight champion [[Junior Jones]], entering the bout as a big favorite coming in, with expectations being that of an easy night for Barrera. Barrera was surprisingly KO'd in the fifth round by Jones, although the official result is a loss by DQ because his cornermen came into the ring. Barrera also lost a rematch to Jones on points in April 1997.

It wasn't until February 2000 that Barrera would again be in a major fight, this time coming against undefeated [[Erik Morales]]. Morales entered the bout with a 35-0 record at the time, and was favored to win, as many people felt Barrera was shot. However, Barrera fought a game fight, and most people felt he was robbed of a decision to Morales.

Barrera would end up getting his big moment of glory against [[Naseem Hamed]]. Hamed was 35-0, with 31 KOs, and at that time was in many people's Top 5 Pound-for-Pound list. Although many within the boxing fraternity were expecting Barrera's aggressive style to play into the hands of the hard-hitting Hamed, Barrera had undergone a stylistic reformation, which had gone by unnoticed by most observers, starting with an impressive victory over Hawaiian [[Jesus Salud]]. Barrera had been working hard to improve his boxing skills, and thus added an extra dimension to his already formidable repertoire of talents. Using a stiff jab and smooth lateral movement, Hamed was thoroughly outboxed by Barrera, and never gave the hard-hitting Englishman the openings he needed to land his biggest punches. This victory made Barrera a superstar, as he received praise and accolades for his decisive victory over Hamed. Barrera went on to fight [[Enrique Sanchez]], who had beaten him once in the amateurs, and stopped him in the mid-rounds. The stage was then set for Morales-Barrera 2.

Fans had been eagerly waiting for the two to fight again, after their thrilling battle in 2000. Barrera won the rematch by slim margins, some fans feeling that Morales had won the fight. Barrera went on to beat [[Johnny Tapia]] and [[Kevin Kelley]], and then fought the dangerous [[Manny Pacquiao]]. Pacquiao KO'd Barrera in eleven rounds in a one-sided bout in which Barrera hit the canvas twice, before his cornermen jumped in the ring and saved him from further punishment. Barrera then beat [[Paulie Ayala]], before signing to fight Erik Morales in a rubber match.

Nobody in the boxing world had wanted to see Morales-Barrera at this point in time. The second Morales-Barrera fight was seen as dull, and many considered Barrera to be shot, due to his one-sided defeat at the hands of Pacquiao. Morales chose to fight Barrera, because he thought it would be an easy fight, and a big pay day. Morales had stated in interviews before the fight that only the first few rounds of the fight would be difficult, and after that he would handle Barrera with ease. Barrera surprised the whole boxing world when the two finally met for the third time, by pounding out a clear-cut victory, by beating Morales to the punch, and scoring with big combinations, which swelled Erik's face badly. The third Barrera-Morales fight was the first fight in the trilogy where fans generally agreed with the outcome.

Following the Morales victory Barrera defeated WBC number-one contender [[Mzonke Fana]], and then defeated a former sparring partner, [[Robbie Peden]].

On May 20, 2006 Barrera defended his WBC super featherweight title, with a narrow split decision victory over [[Rocky Juarez]] in a fight in which Barrera was pushed hard by the younger man's power and strength on the inside. The verdict was considered controversial, in part due to the closeness of the bout, and also due the fight being originally declared a draw. The decision was later awarded to Barrera when an error in the tally of the judges scores was discovered by the commission after the fight. A rematch took place on the 16th of September of the same year, which Barrera won via unanimous decision. Barrera chose to utilise a stick-and-move policy, which left Juarez neutralised on the outside, and unable to get off with the combinations that had pushed Barrera hard in their previous encounter. The result was an uninspired, but clear victory, which left many in the crowd displeased at the lack of action. The win however once again demonstrated the versatility of Barrera, which had become a trademark over the later stages of his career as opposed to the take-no-prisoners approach he was known for prior to his fight with Jesus Salud.

== Career Factoids ==
*Has a record of 22-4 (12 KO) in World Title fights.
*Has a record of 18-7 (10 KO) against former or current world titlists.
**Won against [[Carlos Gabriel Salazar]], [[Eddie Cook]], [[Daniel Jimenez]], [[Frank Toledo]], [[Agapito Sanchez]], [[Kennedy McKinney]], [[Jesse Benavides]], [[Orlando Fernandez]], [[Jesus Salud]], [[Naseem Hamed]], [[Enrique Sanchez]], [[Erik Morales]] (2x), [[Johnny Tapia]], [[Kevin Kelley]], [[Paulie Ayala]], [[Mzonke Fana]], [[Robbie Peden]]

==Professional Career==
'''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as "Pac Man," began his professional career in 1995 at the age of 16. He won his first eleven fights before running into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao. In his 21st fight, Pacquiao knocked out [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] in five rounds to win the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. In December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The champion, an elusive boxer and a good counter puncher, was knocked out by Pacquiao in round eight. Sasakul did not get up for several minutes. Pacquiao lost the title when he failed to make weight for his fight against [[Medgoen Singsurat]], which was to be his second title defense. Pacquiao went ahead with the fight but was [[Medgoen Singsurat vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out in the third round]] by Singsurat.

Following the loss of his title, Pacquiao moved up three weight classes to the 122-pound division. After six straight wins, he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|junior featherweight title]] in June of 2001. Pacquiao, a late substitute opponent, dominated Ledwaba, knocking out the champ in [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|six rounds]]. Pacquiao's next fight was a unification fight against WBO champion [[Agapito Sanchez]], which ended in a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Agapito Sanchez|six-round technical decision draw]].

In November of 2003, Pacquiao moved up in weight and fought [[Marco Antonio Barrera]] for [[The Ring Magazine]] featherweight title.

Pacquiao [[David Diaz vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out]] [[David Diaz]] in his next fight to win the WBC lightweight title and then moved up to welterweight to [[Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao|fight]] [[Oscar De La Hoya]]. He dominated De La Hoya, and the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Pacquiao was again named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

In 2009, Pacquiao scored a [[Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao|second-round knockout]] against [[Ricky Hatton]] to win The Ring junior welterweight title and [[Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao|stopped]] [[Miguel Cotto]] in the twelve rounds to take the WBO welterweight title. Once again, he was named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Pacquiao became the first fighter to win world titles in eight weight divisions when he defeated [[Antonio Margarito]] by a one-sided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito|unanimous decision]] to win the vacant WBC super welterweight title in November of 2010. Pacquaio never defended the title. He vacated it and defended his WBO welterweight title with a lopsided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley|unanimous decision]] against [[Shane Mosley]].

In November of 2011, Pacquaio had a rubber match with Marquez, winning by a close and controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (3rd meeting)|majority decision]]. In his next fight, Pacquiao was on the other end of a controversial decision, losing the WBO welterweight title to [[Timothy Bradley]] by a highly controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley (1st meeting)|split decision]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (4th meeting)|fourth time]] in December of 2012.

He went down to the canvas and was out cold. After three close fights, Marquez finally got a win in their great four-fight series.

In November of 2013, Pacquiao returned to the ring with a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios|lopsided decision]] victory against [[Brandon Rios]]. Five months later, Pacquiao had a rematch with Bradley, who was coming off a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez|split decision]] win against Marquez. Pacquiao defeated Bradley by a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|unanimous decision]], avenging the controversial loss from two years earlier and regaining the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, 2015. After years of tumultuous negotiations, the two finally met in the ring, Pacquiao with the intent to be the aggressor and Mayweather with the strategy of diffuse and counter.

==Professional Career==
'''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as "Pac Man," began his professional career in 1995 at the age of 16. He won his first eleven fights before running into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao. In his 21st fight, Pacquiao knocked out [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] in five rounds to win the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. In December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The champion, an elusive boxer and a good counter puncher, was knocked out by Pacquiao in round eight. Sasakul did not get up for several minutes. Pacquiao lost the title when he failed to make weight for his fight against [[Medgoen Singsurat]], which was to be his second title defense. Pacquiao went ahead with the fight but was [[Medgoen Singsurat vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out in the third round]] by Singsurat.

Following the loss of his title, Pacquiao moved up three weight classes to the 122-pound division. After six straight wins, he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|junior featherweight title]] in June of 2001. Pacquiao, a late substitute opponent, dominated Ledwaba, knocking out the champ in [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|six rounds]]. Pacquiao's next fight was a unification fight against WBO champion [[Agapito Sanchez]], which ended in a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Agapito Sanchez|six-round technical decision draw]].

In November of 2003, Pacquiao moved up in weight and fought [[Marco Antonio Barrera]] for [[The Ring Magazine]] featherweight title. Pacquiao dropped Barrera three times in route to an [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|eleventh-round TKO]]. Pacquiao next fought WBA/IBF featherweight champion [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round but came back to win many of the later rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Marquez turned down a rematch because he didn't like the purse he was offered, so Pacquiao moved up to the 130-pound division and fought [[Erik Morales]] in March of 2005. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won by a close [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|unanimous decision]]. All three official judges scored the fight 115-113 for Morales. Pacquaio fought Morales twice in 2006, winning by a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|tenth-round KO]] and a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (3rd meeting)|third-round KO]], respectively. Pacquiao was named the 2006 Fighter of the Year by [[ESPN]], The Ring and the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]].

Pacquiao fought twice in 2007, knocking out the undefeated [[Jorge Solis]] in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis|eight rounds]] and [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (2nd meeting)|outpointing]] Barrera in a rematch. Pacquiao was named [[WBHOF: Fighter of the Year|Fighter of the Year]] by the [[World Boxing Hall of Fame]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for the WBC super featherweight title in March of 2008. In another great fight, Pacquiao won by a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|split decision]]. Pacquiao [[David Diaz vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out]] [[David Diaz]] in his next fight to win the WBC lightweight title and then moved up to welterweight to [[Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao|fight]] [[Oscar De La Hoya]]. He dominated De La Hoya, and the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Pacquiao was again named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

In 2009, Pacquiao scored a [[Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao|second-round knockout]] against [[Ricky Hatton]] to win The Ring junior welterweight title and [[Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao|stopped]] [[Miguel Cotto]] in the twelve rounds to take the WBO welterweight title. Once again, he was named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Pacquiao became the first fighter to win world titles in eight weight divisions when he defeated [[Antonio Margarito]] by a one-sided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito|unanimous decision]] to win the vacant WBC super welterweight title in November of 2010. Pacquaio never defended the title. He vacated it and defended his WBO welterweight title with a lopsided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley|unanimous decision]] against [[Shane Mosley]].

In November of 2011, Pacquaio had a rubber match with Marquez, winning by a close and controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (3rd meeting)|majority decision]]. In his next fight, Pacquiao was on the other end of a controversial decision, losing the WBO welterweight title to [[Timothy Bradley]] by a highly controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley (1st meeting)|split decision]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (4th meeting)|fourth time]] in December of 2012. After being dropped in the third round, Pacquiao came back to drop Marquez in the fifth round. Pacquiao was winning the sixth round when he got nailed with a perfect right to the head. He went down to the canvas and was out cold. After three close fights, Marquez finally got a win in their great four-fight series.

==Professional Career==
'''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as "Pac Man," began his professional career in 1995 at the age of 16. He won his first eleven fights before running into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao. In his 21st fight, Pacquiao knocked out [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] in five rounds to win the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. In December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The champion, an elusive boxer and a good counter puncher, was knocked out by Pacquiao in round eight. Sasakul did not get up for several minutes. Pacquiao lost the title when he failed to make weight for his fight against [[Medgoen Singsurat]], which was to be his second title defense. Pacquiao went ahead with the fight but was [[Medgoen Singsurat vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out in the third round]] by Singsurat.

Following the loss of his title, Pacquiao moved up three weight classes to the 122-pound division. After six straight wins, he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|junior featherweight title]] in June of 2001. Pacquiao, a late substitute opponent, dominated Ledwaba, knocking out the champ in [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|six rounds]]. Pacquiao's next fight was a unification fight against WBO champion [[Agapito Sanchez]], which ended in a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Agapito Sanchez|six-round technical decision draw]].

In November of 2003, Pacquiao moved up in weight and fought [[Marco Antonio Barrera]] for [[The Ring Magazine]] featherweight title. Pacquiao dropped Barrera three times in route to an [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|eleventh-round TKO]]. Pacquiao next fought WBA/IBF featherweight champion [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round but came back to win many of the later rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Marquez turned down a rematch because he didn't like the purse he was offered, so Pacquiao moved up to the 130-pound division and fought [[Erik Morales]] in March of 2005. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won by a close [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|unanimous decision]]. All three official judges scored the fight 115-113 for Morales. Pacquaio fought Morales twice in 2006, winning by a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|tenth-round KO]] and a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (3rd meeting)|third-round KO]], respectively. Pacquiao was named the 2006 Fighter of the Year by [[ESPN]], The Ring and the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]].

Pacquiao fought twice in 2007, knocking out the undefeated [[Jorge Solis]] in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis|eight rounds]] and [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (2nd meeting)|outpointing]] Barrera in a rematch. Pacquiao was named [[WBHOF: Fighter of the Year|Fighter of the Year]] by the [[World Boxing Hall of Fame]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for the WBC super featherweight title in March of 2008. In another great fight, Pacquiao won by a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|split decision]]. Pacquiao [[David Diaz vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out]] [[David Diaz]] in his next fight to win the WBC lightweight title and then moved up to welterweight to [[Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao|fight]] [[Oscar De La Hoya]]. He dominated De La Hoya, and the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Pacquiao was again named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

In 2009, Pacquiao scored a [[Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao|second-round knockout]] against [[Ricky Hatton]] to win The Ring junior welterweight title and [[Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao|stopped]] [[Miguel Cotto]] in the twelve rounds to take the WBO welterweight title. Once again, he was named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Pacquiao became the first fighter to win world titles in eight weight divisions when he defeated [[Antonio Margarito]] by a one-sided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito|unanimous decision]] to win the vacant WBC super welterweight title in November of 2010. Pacquaio never defended the title. He vacated it and defended his WBO welterweight title with a lopsided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley|unanimous decision]] against [[Shane Mosley]].

In November of 2011, Pacquaio had a rubber match with Marquez, winning by a close and controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (3rd meeting)|majority decision]]. In his next fight, Pacquiao was on the other end of a controversial decision, losing the WBO welterweight title to [[Timothy Bradley]] by a highly controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley (1st meeting)|split decision]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (4th meeting)|fourth time]] in December of 2012. After being dropped in the third round, Pacquiao came back to drop Marquez in the fifth round. Pacquiao was winning the sixth round when he got nailed with a perfect right to the head. He went down to the canvas and was out cold. After three close fights, Marquez finally got a win in their great four-fight series.

In November of 2013, Pacquiao returned to the ring with a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios|lopsided decision]] victory against [[Brandon Rios]]. Five months later, Pacquiao had a rematch with Bradley, who was coming off a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez|split decision]] win against Marquez. Pacquiao defeated Bradley by a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|unanimous decision]], avenging the controversial loss from two years earlier and regaining the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, 2015. After years of tumultuous negotiations, the two finally met in the ring, Pacquiao with the intent to be the aggressor and Mayweather with the strategy of diffuse and counter. The fight went the distance and to the official judges scorecards which read (118–110, 116–112, 116–112) in favor of Mayweather.

==Professional Career==
'''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as "Pac Man," began his professional career in 1995 at the age of 16. He won his first eleven fights before running into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao. In his 21st fight, Pacquiao knocked out [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] in five rounds to win the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. In December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The champion, an elusive boxer and a good counter puncher, was knocked out by Pacquiao in round eight. Sasakul did not get up for several minutes. Pacquiao lost the title when he failed to make weight for his fight against [[Medgoen Singsurat]], which was to be his second title defense. Pacquiao went ahead with the fight but was [[Medgoen Singsurat vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out in the third round]] by Singsurat.

Following the loss of his title, Pacquiao moved up three weight classes to the 122-pound division. After six straight wins, he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|junior featherweight title]] in June of 2001. Pacquiao, a late substitute opponent, dominated Ledwaba, knocking out the champ in [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|six rounds]]. Pacquiao's next fight was a unification fight against WBO champion [[Agapito Sanchez]], which ended in a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Agapito Sanchez|six-round technical decision draw]].

In November of 2003, Pacquiao moved up in weight and fought [[Marco Antonio Barrera]] for [[The Ring Magazine]] featherweight title. Pacquiao dropped Barrera three times in route to an [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|eleventh-round TKO]]. Pacquiao next fought WBA/IBF featherweight champion [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round but came back to win many of the later rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Marquez turned down a rematch because he didn't like the purse he was offered, so Pacquiao moved up to the 130-pound division and fought [[Erik Morales]] in March of 2005. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won by a close [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|unanimous decision]]. All three official judges scored the fight 115-113 for Morales. Pacquaio fought Morales twice in 2006, winning by a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|tenth-round KO]] and a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (3rd meeting)|third-round KO]], respectively. Pacquiao was named the 2006 Fighter of the Year by [[ESPN]], The Ring and the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]].

Pacquiao fought twice in 2007, knocking out the undefeated [[Jorge Solis]] in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis|eight rounds]] and [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (2nd meeting)|outpointing]] Barrera in a rematch. Pacquiao was named [[WBHOF: Fighter of the Year|Fighter of the Year]] by the [[World Boxing Hall of Fame]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for the WBC super featherweight title in March of 2008. In another great fight, Pacquiao won by a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|split decision]]. Pacquiao [[David Diaz vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out]] [[David Diaz]] in his next fight to win the WBC lightweight title and then moved up to welterweight to [[Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao|fight]] [[Oscar De La Hoya]]. He dominated De La Hoya, and the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Pacquiao was again named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

In 2009, Pacquiao scored a [[Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao|second-round knockout]] against [[Ricky Hatton]] to win The Ring junior welterweight title and [[Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao|stopped]] [[Miguel Cotto]] in the twelve rounds to take the WBO welterweight title. Once again, he was named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Pacquiao became the first fighter to win world titles in eight weight divisions when he defeated [[Antonio Margarito]] by a one-sided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito|unanimous decision]] to win the vacant WBC super welterweight title in November of 2010. Pacquaio never defended the title. He vacated it and defended his WBO welterweight title with a lopsided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley|unanimous decision]] against [[Shane Mosley]].

In November of 2011, Pacquaio had a rubber match with Marquez, winning by a close and controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (3rd meeting)|majority decision]]. In his next fight, Pacquiao was on the other end of a controversial decision, losing the WBO welterweight title to [[Timothy Bradley]] by a highly controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley (1st meeting)|split decision]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (4th meeting)|fourth time]] in December of 2012. After being dropped in the third round, Pacquiao came back to drop Marquez in the fifth round. Pacquiao was winning the sixth round when he got nailed with a perfect right to the head. He went down to the canvas and was out cold. After three close fights, Marquez finally got a win in their great four-fight series.

In November of 2013, Pacquiao returned to the ring with a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios|lopsided decision]] victory against [[Brandon Rios]]. Five months later, Pacquiao had a rematch with Bradley, who was coming off a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez|split decision]] win against Marquez. Pacquiao defeated Bradley by a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|unanimous decision]], avenging the controversial loss from two years earlier and regaining the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, 2015. After years of tumultuous negotiations, the two finally met in the ring, Pacquiao with the intent to be the aggressor and Mayweather with the strategy of diffuse and counter. The fight went the distance and to the official judges scorecards which read (118–110, 116–112, 116–112) in favor of Mayweather.

==Professional Career==
'''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as "Pac Man," began his professional career in 1995 at the age of 16. He won his first eleven fights before running into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao. In his 21st fight, Pacquiao knocked out [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] in five rounds to win the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. In December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The champion, an elusive boxer and a good counter puncher, was knocked out by Pacquiao in round eight. Sasakul did not get up for several minutes. Pacquiao lost the title when he failed to make weight for his fight against [[Medgoen Singsurat]], which was to be his second title defense. Pacquiao went ahead with the fight but was [[Medgoen Singsurat vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out in the third round]] by Singsurat.

Following the loss of his title, Pacquiao moved up three weight classes to the 122-pound division.

Pacquaio never defended the title. He vacated it and defended his WBO welterweight title with a lopsided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley|unanimous decision]] against [[Shane Mosley]].

In November of 2013, Pacquiao returned to the ring with a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios|lopsided decision]] victory against [[Brandon Rios]]. Five months later, Pacquiao had a rematch with Bradley, who was coming off a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez|split decision]] win against Marquez. Pacquiao defeated Bradley by a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|unanimous decision]], avenging the controversial loss from two years earlier and regaining the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, 2015.

In November of 2013, Pacquiao returned to the ring with a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios|lopsided decision]] victory against [[Brandon Rios]]. Five months later, Pacquiao had a rematch with Bradley, who was coming off a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez|split decision]] win against Marquez. Pacquiao defeated Bradley by a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|unanimous decision]], avenging the controversial loss from two years earlier and regaining the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, 2015. After years of tumultuous negotiations, the two finally met in the ring, Pacquiao with the intent to be the aggressor and Mayweather with the strategy of diffuse and counter.

==Professional Career==
'''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as "Pac Man," began his professional career in 1995 at the age of 16. He won his first eleven fights before running into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao. In his 21st fight, Pacquiao knocked out [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] in five rounds to win the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. In December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The champion, an elusive boxer and a good counter puncher, was knocked out by Pacquiao in round eight. Sasakul did not get up for several minutes. Pacquiao lost the title when he failed to make weight for his fight against [[Medgoen Singsurat]], which was to be his second title defense. Pacquiao went ahead with the fight but was [[Medgoen Singsurat vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out in the third round]] by Singsurat.

Following the loss of his title, Pacquiao moved up three weight classes to the 122-pound division. After six straight wins, he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|junior featherweight title]] in June of 2001. Pacquiao, a late substitute opponent, dominated Ledwaba, knocking out the champ in [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|six rounds]]. Pacquiao's next fight was a unification fight against WBO champion [[Agapito Sanchez]], which ended in a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Agapito Sanchez|six-round technical decision draw]].

In November of 2003, Pacquiao moved up in weight and fought [[Marco Antonio Barrera]] for [[The Ring Magazine]] featherweight title. Pacquiao dropped Barrera three times in route to an [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|eleventh-round TKO]]. Pacquiao next fought WBA/IBF featherweight champion [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round but came back to win many of the later rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Marquez turned down a rematch because he didn't like the purse he was offered, so Pacquiao moved up to the 130-pound division and fought [[Erik Morales]] in March of 2005. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won by a close [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|unanimous decision]]. All three official judges scored the fight 115-113 for Morales. Pacquaio fought Morales twice in 2006, winning by a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|tenth-round KO]] and a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (3rd meeting)|third-round KO]], respectively. Pacquiao was named the 2006 Fighter of the Year by [[ESPN]], The Ring and the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]].

Pacquiao fought twice in 2007, knocking out the undefeated [[Jorge Solis]] in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis|eight rounds]] and [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (2nd meeting)|outpointing]] Barrera in a rematch. Pacquiao was named [[WBHOF: Fighter of the Year|Fighter of the Year]] by the [[World Boxing Hall of Fame]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for the WBC super featherweight title in March of 2008. In another great fight, Pacquiao won by a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|split decision]]. Pacquiao [[David Diaz vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out]] [[David Diaz]] in his next fight to win the WBC lightweight title and then moved up to welterweight to [[Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao|fight]] [[Oscar De La Hoya]]. He dominated De La Hoya, and the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Pacquiao was again named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

In 2009, Pacquiao scored a [[Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao|second-round knockout]] against [[Ricky Hatton]] to win The Ring junior welterweight title and [[Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao|stopped]] [[Miguel Cotto]] in the twelve rounds to take the WBO welterweight title. Once again, he was named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Pacquiao became the first fighter to win world titles in eight weight divisions when he defeated [[Antonio Margarito]] by a one-sided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito|unanimous decision]] to win the vacant WBC super welterweight title in November of 2010. Pacquaio never defended the title. He vacated it and defended his WBO welterweight title with a lopsided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley|unanimous decision]] against [[Shane Mosley]].

In November of 2011, Pacquaio had a rubber match with Marquez, winning by a close and controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (3rd meeting)|majority decision]]. In his next fight, Pacquiao was on the other end of a controversial decision, losing the WBO welterweight title to [[Timothy Bradley]] by a highly controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley (1st meeting)|split decision]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (4th meeting)|fourth time]] in December of 2012. After being dropped in the third round, Pacquiao came back to drop Marquez in the fifth round. Pacquiao was winning the sixth round when he got nailed with a perfect right to the head. He went down to the canvas and was out cold. After three close fights, Marquez finally got a win in their great four-fight series.

In November of 2013, Pacquiao returned to the ring with a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios|lopsided decision]] victory against [[Brandon Rios]]. Five months later, Pacquiao had a rematch with Bradley, who was coming off a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez|split decision]] win against Marquez. Pacquiao defeated Bradley by a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|unanimous decision]], avenging the controversial loss from two years earlier and regaining the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, 2015. After years of tumultuous negotiations, the two finally met in the ring, Pacquiao with the intent to be the aggressor and Mayweather with the strategy of diffuse and counter. The fight went the distance and to the official judges scorecards which read (118–110, 116–112, 116–112) in favor of Mayweather.

==Professional Career==
'''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as "Pac Man," began his professional career in 1995 at the age of 16. He won his first eleven fights before running into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao. In his 21st fight, Pacquiao knocked out [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] in five rounds to win the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. In December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The champion, an elusive boxer and a good counter puncher, was knocked out by Pacquiao in round eight. Sasakul did not get up for several minutes. Pacquiao lost the title when he failed to make weight for his fight against [[Medgoen Singsurat]], which was to be his second title defense. Pacquiao went ahead with the fight but was [[Medgoen Singsurat vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out in the third round]] by Singsurat.

Following the loss of his title, Pacquiao moved up three weight classes to the 122-pound division. After six straight wins, he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|junior featherweight title]] in June of 2001. Pacquiao, a late substitute opponent, dominated Ledwaba, knocking out the champ in [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|six rounds]]. Pacquiao's next fight was a unification fight against WBO champion [[Agapito Sanchez]], which ended in a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Agapito Sanchez|six-round technical decision draw]].

In November of 2003, Pacquiao moved up in weight and fought [[Marco Antonio Barrera]] for [[The Ring Magazine]] featherweight title. Pacquiao dropped Barrera three times in route to an [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|eleventh-round TKO]]. Pacquiao next fought WBA/IBF featherweight champion [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round but came back to win many of the later rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Marquez turned down a rematch because he didn't like the purse he was offered, so Pacquiao moved up to the 130-pound division and fought [[Erik Morales]] in March of 2005. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won by a close [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|unanimous decision]]. All three official judges scored the fight 115-113 for Morales. Pacquaio fought Morales twice in 2006, winning by a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|tenth-round KO]] and a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (3rd meeting)|third-round KO]], respectively. Pacquiao was named the 2006 Fighter of the Year by [[ESPN]], The Ring and the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]].

Pacquiao fought twice in 2007, knocking out the undefeated [[Jorge Solis]] in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis|eight rounds]] and [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (2nd meeting)|outpointing]] Barrera in a rematch. Pacquiao was named [[WBHOF: Fighter of the Year|Fighter of the Year]] by the [[World Boxing Hall of Fame]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for the WBC super featherweight title in March of 2008. In another great fight, Pacquiao won by a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|split decision]]. Pacquiao [[David Diaz vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocked out]] [[David Diaz]] in his next fight to win the WBC lightweight title and then moved up to welterweight to [[Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao|fight]] [[Oscar De La Hoya]]. He dominated De La Hoya, and the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Pacquiao was again named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

In 2009, Pacquiao scored a [[Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao|second-round knockout]] against [[Ricky Hatton]] to win The Ring junior welterweight title and [[Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao|stopped]] [[Miguel Cotto]] in the twelve rounds to take the WBO welterweight title. Once again, he was named Fighter of the Year by ESPN, The Ring and the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Pacquiao became the first fighter to win world titles in eight weight divisions when he defeated [[Antonio Margarito]] by a one-sided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito|unanimous decision]] to win the vacant WBC super welterweight title in November of 2010. Pacquaio never defended the title. He vacated it and defended his WBO welterweight title with a lopsided [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley|unanimous decision]] against [[Shane Mosley]].

In November of 2011, Pacquaio had a rubber match with Marquez, winning by a close and controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (3rd meeting)|majority decision]]. In his next fight, Pacquiao was on the other end of a controversial decision, losing the WBO welterweight title to [[Timothy Bradley]] by a highly controversial [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley (1st meeting)|split decision]].

Pacquiao fought Marquez for a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (4th meeting)|fourth time]] in December of 2012. After being dropped in the third round, Pacquiao came back to drop Marquez in the fifth round. Pacquiao was winning the sixth round when he got nailed with a perfect right to the head. He went down to the canvas and was out cold. After three close fights, Marquez finally got a win in their great four-fight series.

In November of 2013, Pacquiao returned to the ring with a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios|lopsided decision]] victory against [[Brandon Rios]]. Five months later, Pacquiao had a rematch with Bradley, who was coming off a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez|split decision]] win against Marquez. Pacquiao defeated Bradley by a [[Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao (2nd meeting)|unanimous decision]], avenging the controversial loss from two years earlier and regaining the WBO welterweight title.

Pacquiao fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, 2015. After years of tumultuous negotiations, the two finally met in the ring, Pacquiao with the intent to be the aggressor and Mayweather with the strategy of diffuse and counter. The fight went the distance and to the official judges scorecards which read (118–110, 116–112, 116–112) in favor of Mayweather.
