Biggest wins 

Pacquiao shocks the world to stop Barrera, 2003

Pacquiao's featherweight debut saw him take on the world's best fighter in that weight class as he went in with Marco Antonio Barrera.

The Filipino sensation showed the world what he was capable of as he produced a dominant performance that saw him eventually grind down the Mexican icon in the fight's penultimate round.

Many thought Oscar De La Hoya would be too big for Pacquiao when he welcomed his opponent to welterweight for the first time.

De La Hoya had competed as high as middleweight where he enjoyed a brief reign as world champion, but it was Pacquiao who looked the stronger man.

Dominating from the outset, Pacquiao's speed and accuracy was too much for De La Hoya who didn't come out for the ninth round.

Pacquiao destroys Hatton, 2009

After halting De La Hoya, Pacquiao moved down to 140lbs where Ricky Hatton was waiting for him.

The British fighter had rebounded well since losing to Floyd Mayweather in 2007 and he was expected to give Pacquiao a huge test.

The Filipino man only needed two rounds as Hatton was dropped twice in the opener before being brutally knocked out in round two.​
