Manny Pacquiao: Ranking the Filipino icon's success division by division
Manny Pacquiao has fought in 11 of the 17 weight divisions in his 26-year professional career. He has won world titles in eight of them, an all-time record that has made him a legend.
The Filipino dynamo has a winning record in all 11 weight classes, from 108 to 154 pounds, although he fought only once in three of them.
Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) has fought more times in his current division – welterweight – than in any other, having gone to war at 147 pounds in 17 of his 71 bouts. He’ll face titleholder Yordenis Ugas at welterweight on Saturday in Las Vegas (pay per view).
But in which division did he have his most success?
Boxing Junkie did the research to answer that question. In this special feature, we rank Pacquiao’s success by weight class. We start with No. 11 and work our way up to the division in which we believe he had his most success.
Note: We used Pacquiao’s weight to determine the division in each of his fights, with one exception: He weighed under the welterweight limit when he fought Antonio Margarito for a 154-pound title. That counts as a junior middleweight bout.
Also, he won sanctioning body titles in six divisions, Ring Magazine belts in the other two.
Have a look.
