Manny Pacquiao is a Filipino professional boxer — “PacMan” — widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time. He is the only boxer in history to win world titles in eight different weight divisions, collecting twelve major world titles along the way, and the only boxer ever to hold world championships across four decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s). Born in Kibawe, Bukidnon, he turned professional at just 16 years old in January 1995.
The run that followed rewrote the record books. Pacquiao won the WBC flyweight title in 1998, kept climbing through the divisions, and took out a roll call of champions — Marco Antonio Barrera, Érik Morales, Juan Manuel Márquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto and Timothy Bradley among them. In July 2019, at 40, he beat Keith Thurman to become the oldest welterweight world champion in history and a recognised four-time welterweight champion. He was named Fighter of the Decade for the 2000s and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2025.
Pacquiao’s professional career spans 1995 to 2025 — 73 bouts in all. He announced his retirement in 2021, then came back in July 2025 and fought WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios to a draw at age 46. Outside the ring, he served as a senator of the Philippines from 2016 to 2022. Here is the complete fight-by-fight record.
