This would be Pacquiao’s last fight at 122 lbs and also as a relatively unknown boxer. Less than five months later he would move up a weight class to face the Mexican featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera. Pacquiao would dismantle the 4-1 favorite by TKO in the 11th round & the boxing world would be introduced to their newest superstar. Photo by JP YIM
