Pacquiao’s story of growing up dirt poor in the streets of the Philippines to starting as a light flyweight (105 pounds) and moving all the way up to welterweight (148 pounds) to becoming a Senator who will soon run for the country’s presidency is still hard to believe.

Fans will remember many of his fights including Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, and of course, Floyd Mayweather.
What you’ve accomplished will be timeless! Thank you for sharing your abilities with the world in that ring!
My friends, family and I feel very lucky to have lived through your time in the game. 💯🙏— Karrion Kross (@WWEKarrionKross) September 29, 2021
