#5: Pacquiao vs De La Hoya
December 6, 2008
Result: Pacquiao won via TKO round 8
-----------------------------------------------------------
This was not a prime De La Hoya, but the thorough beating the Pacman delivered was still a big deal
because it introduced the entire sports world to Manny Pacquiao.
Going into the fight most fans and media people thought that the little man had finally bitten off more than he could chew.
Instead, he put an end to The Golden Boy's career as a boxer.
#4: Pacquiao vs Marquez 1
May 8, 2004
Result: Split Draw (115-110 Pacquiao, 115-110 Marquez, 113-113 Draw)
-----------------------------------------------------------
During the early part of their first epic encounter Manny's devastating power was on full display.
If you watched him rip through Marquez' chin, dropping him 3 times in the very first round, you could hardly believe what was happening.
Later on, it became obvious that the kid still needed some work.
Pacquiao went from invincible to human right before our eyes.
Only his indomitable will allowed him to hold onto the featherweight crown.
The third judge, Burt Clements, had a 113-113 tie.
His scoring included a 10-7 opening round because, he admitted later, he did not realize he could give a 10-6 round.
If Clements had scored the opening round 10-6, as the other two judges had, Pacquiao would have won by 113-112 on Clements's card and earned a split decision.
#3: Pacquiao vs Cotto
November 14, 2009
Result: Pacquiao won via TKO round 12
-----------------------------------------------------------
In a legacy-cementing win, Pacquiao defeated Cotto to capture the WBO Welterweight title and WBC Diamond Belt.
The win made him the first boxer ever to win seven different titles in seven different weight classes.
His performance that night fixed the Filipino's reputation as one of the finest boxers of this -- and possibly other -- generations.
#2: Pacquiao vs Barrera 1
November 15, 2003
Result: Pacquaio won via TKO round 11
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Mexican icon was on top of his game. He had successfully switched from vicious attacker to a clever,
heavy-handed boxer who was considered 1 of the 5 best fighters in the sport.
In late 2003 Barrera put his World Featherweight Title on the line against a skinny Filipino not many people had heard much about.
Hardcore boxing fans knew the kid was fast as lightning and fun to watch, but no one expected him to treat the future Hall Of Famer like a sparring partner.
He assaulted Marco mercilessly, forcing the corner call a halt to the savage beating.
Manny Pacquiao had exploded onto the scene suddenly and he's been blowing our minds ever since.
#1: Pacquiao vs Morales 1
March 19, 2005
Result: Morales won via Unanimous Decision (All 3 judges: 115-113)
-----------------------------------------------------------
For me this is one of the best fights of the last decade. Morales fought beautiful.
A really great fight between two ATG and legends, all 12 rounds are ACTION PACKED!
The two fighters are trading and eating bombs in the whole bloody fight.
It could have been the fight of the year, but that time, Corrales and Castillo was also an epic.
I think Pacquiao learned a lot from this fight. Just see how he evolved from that guy to the top Welterweight of today.
From a double-jab and left cross to the the full mastery of the sweet science
