When it comes to achievements inside the boxing<\/a> ring, Manny Pacquiao is among the greatest as he’s an eight-division world champion, the only one in boxing history. Starting from the flyweight division, Pacquiao conquered all the way up to super welterweight.<\/p>\n

The Filipino once again defied the odds when he managed a draw against Mario Barrios in his most recent outing in July. At 46, Pacquiao showed he can still hang in there with fighters a fraction of his age. <\/p>\n

Pacquiao has now looked back on his storied career and penned an emotional social media message along with a collage of snaps on Instagram, showing the most memorable fights of his career.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao defeated Thai boxer Chatchai Sasakul in 1998 to become the flyweight champion. He became the junior featherweight king with a KO win against Lehlo Ledwaba in 2001. In 2003, another stoppage win against Marc Antonio Barrera saw him become the featherweight champion.<\/p>\n

He defeated Juan Manuel Marquez to become the junior lightweight champion and David Diaz for the lightweight title in a span of three months back in 2008. In 2009, he knocked out Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto to capture the junior welterweight and welterweight titles. <\/p>\n

A win over Antonio Margarito saw him snatch the super welterweight title in a legendary career.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao posted all these moments on his Instagram, writing a message, “I look at this picture and I am reminded of the long journey God has allowed me to take. From flyweight to super welterweight\u2026 eight divisions, eight mountains to climb.”<\/p>\n

He added, “Every fight was not just about winning a belt, but about testing myself, learning, and growing. To all the great champions and warriors I had the honor to share the ring with, salamat po. \ud83d\ude4f Without you, this would not be possible.”<\/p>\n

And above all, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving me the strength, power, and heart to keep going, even when the road was difficult.<\/p>\n

This is not just my story\u2026 it\u2019s ours. \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udded\ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n

Pacquiao is currently the number one ranked welterweight contender for WBC. He is open to a rematch against Mario Barrios and has also campaigned for fights against Gervonta Davis and Rolly Romero. <\/p>\n

Despite being 46, ‘Pacman’ remains a huge name and can still draw an audience.<\/p>\n

The Barrios fight was Pacquiao’s first ring appearance in four years. Perhaps as a fully active fighter he can look even better in future fights.<\/p>\n
