Philippine Senator Manny Pacquiao has competed in professional boxing since 1995. Regarded by many boxing historians as one of the greatest professional boxers of all time,[3] Pacquiao is the only boxer in history to win 12 major world titles in eight different weight divisions.[4] He is also the first boxer in history to win the lineal championship in five different weight divisions,[5][6][7] as well as being the first boxer in history to win major world titles in four of the original eight weight divisions of boxing, also known as the "glamour divisions": flyweight, featherweight, lightweight and welterweight.[8][9][10]

In July 2019, Pacquiao became the oldest welterweight world champion in history at the age of 40, and the first boxer to become a recognized four-time welterweight champion after defeating Keith Thurman to win the WBA (Super) welterweight.[11][12][13] Pacquiao also holds the record of being the only four-decade world champion in history, having held world championships in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.[14][15][16][17]

He is also a three-time Ring magazine and BWAA Fighter of the Year, winning both awards in 2006, 2008 and 2009; and the Best Fighter ESPY Award in 2009 and 2011.[18] In 2016, Pacquiao was ranked second on ESPN's list of top boxers, pound-for-pound, of the past 25 years.[19] BoxRec ranks Pacquiao as the fifth greatest boxer, pound for pound, of all time,[20] as well as the greatest Asian boxer of all time.[21] World-renowned boxing expert and historian Bert Sugar ranked Pacquiao as the greatest southpaw fighter of all time.[22] In 2020, Pacquiao topped the Ranker's list of best boxers of the 21st century[23][24] while respected Spanish Media outlet "Marca" placed Manny Pacquiao 16th on the Greatest Sportsmen of the 21st Century.[25][26]

As of August 2020, he is ranked as the world's eighth best active boxer, pound-for-pound, by BoxRec[27] and tenth by The Ring[28] and the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board (TBRB).[29] He is also ranked as the world's second best active welterweight by the TBRB[30] and ESPN,[31] and third by The Ring[32] and BoxRec.[33]

Pacquiao was long rated as the best active boxer in the world, pound-for-pound, by most sporting news and boxing websites, including ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Sporting Life, Yahoo! Sports, About.com , BoxRec and The Ring, beginning from his climb to lightweight until his losses at welterweight in 2012.[34][35] He is also the longest reigning top-ten active boxer on The Ring's pound-for-pound list.[36]
