Manny Pacquiao profile: The ‘Pac Man’ packs a punch

Pacquiao won his first major title in 1998, defeating Thailand’s Chatchai Sasakul to capture the World Boxing Council (WBC) flyweight title.

Oscar De La Hoya (December 6, 2008): Won by TKO in the 8th round, prompting De La Hoya's retirement and elevating Pacquiao's status as a pound-for-pound king.


Vs. Juan Manuel Marquez II (March 15, 2008): Won by split decision capture The Ring and WBC Junior Lightweight titles. His excellent footwork, blazing speed, and a vastly improved defence made him one of the world’s finest boxer.

Though Pacquiao’s popularity as a pay-per-view (PPV) boxing attraction was already increased since 2002, the win against De La Hoya changed the boxer’s life completely.
