Pacquiao now boasts a record of 62-8-3. Of his 73 fights, just three have ended in a draw \u2013 the Barrios fight, his iconic bout with Juan Manuel Marquez, and another, that dashed his world title dream back in 2001.<\/p>\n

By June 2001, Pacquiao had already been a world champion, though in the flyweight division.<\/p>\n
On short notice, just days before he had planned to return to the Philippines from the United States, Pacquiao was called and asked to fill in for Lehlo Ledwaba\u2019s opponent<\/a> in a world title contest.<\/p>\n Pacquiao had been awaiting his shot at greatness, and when it arrived, he did not let it go. The relatively unknown Filipino became a household name overnight as he knocked out the IBF super-bantamweight champion in front of onlookers at the MGM Grand.<\/p>\n It was the biggest win of his career so far, but when it came time to unify, disaster struck. <\/p>\n Five months after his big break, Pacquiao faced 31-9-2 WBO champion Agapito Sanchez in San Francisco.<\/p>\n Sanchez lost two points for low blows, but was still ahead on one scorecard going into the sixth round.<\/p>\n An accidental head-butt in round two was a disaster in the making, and the sixth round issued its brutal conclusion. Another head-butt worsened the cut Pacquiao had sustained from the first, prompting the ringside doctor to call off the fight.<\/p>\n With Sanchez ahead on one card and Pacquiao on the other, it all came down to one judge as the fight went to a technical decision.<\/p>\n That judge, Marshall Walker, had the bout 56-56, and Pacquiao\u2019s hopes to unify were over.<\/p>\n Manny Pacquiao lost a fight so controversially that a judge quit the sport<\/p>\n Though many feel Pacquiao should have won the Barrios fight, it was a far cry from a robbery, though Pac-Man has certainly been a victim of one of those, too.<\/p>\n In 2012, 54-3-2 Pacquiao faced 28-0 Tim Bradley. <\/p>\n After 12 rounds, everyone in attendance was shocked to hear that Bradley had beaten Pacquiao<\/a> by split decision.<\/p>\n
