The World Boxing News check how the legend of boxing and the Master of Eight’s validity of Manny Pacquiao managed to lose eight times.
The excellent energy package known as “Pacman” has a record of 62-8-2 and 39 KO as a professional, and some of his failures are more controversial than others.
Taking the paid ranks at the age of 16, month and five days in 1995, Pacquiao has gained experience in the fight against adult men from the very beginning.
Like the pound star, Canelo Alvarez, Pacquiao dipped his fingers at his feet with much older campaigns when he is still a teenager of school age.
But at the age of 18, things suddenly became very real for the teenage pretender. It was not silky for the skinny teenage teenage who would ultimately become the world champion of eight.
Many Pacquiao losses
Defeat number 1 – Rustico Torrecampo [February 9, 1996]
It was 1996 and Manny [11-0, 4 KOs at the time] He accepted 24-year-old Torrecampo at the fly weight. The transfer took place after the fight with the previous thirteen months in the lithe of the years.
The fight was organized with a catch mass of 111 pounds, although Pacquiao came in a pound. Then he was punished by wearing heavier gloves during the fight.
However, the mighty favorite Pacquiao was stunned by Torrecampo with a destructive shot and knocked out – almost frosty. The end took thirty seconds to the third round and through a man with only five knockouts on records 11-4-4. It was an early waking up to Pacquiao’s career.
From then on, Rodak Torrecampo would only win two fights in his career, losing four. Then he retired in 1997 at the age of 25 without any significant titles for his recognition.
After almost 14 years from the ring in February 2011, Wwadzka Muchowa returned. Torrecamp knocked out Jovanie Buralan in three rounds. He has not fought since then.
2 – SINGSurat [September 17, 1999]
Pacquiao [26-1, 17 KOs] It seemed that he was learning a lot after his first defeat, when he set off to the invincible run of fifteen fights. Thirteen of them appeared at a distance.
The title of WBC Flyweight in the twelfth of these wins in 1998, defeating Master Chatchai Sasaku with the eighth round of KO. Then Pacquiao accepted Singsurat in 1999 in his second defense at the age of 21.
Singsurat had a flawless 18-0 record and was at the same age as Manny, fighting for his first world championship title. Pacquiao was again knocked out in the third round, losing the world championship title during the year of the claim. This scenario took place despite the dominance in the opening rounds and the look of the class over the Thai warrior.
Finally, he created two successful defense of the WBC title before succumbing to Malcolm Tunecao.
Singsurat fought 52 times since Pacquaio’s victory, knocking out 37 opponents, never returning to world -class. He failed in his last eleven fights until his retirement in 2011.
3 – Erik Morales [March 19, 2005]
In 2005 Pacquiao [39-2-2, 30 KOs] At that time, he accepted Erik Morales’s “El Terrible” in Super Feather in a featherweight and was the world champion in two importance. Pacquiao barely missed the third loss earlier after attracting Marquez with Juan Manuel a year earlier. In the face of Morales, it was now a fixed name in the USA.
Moving up the fourth weight from Turning Pro, Pacquiao fell into a confident Morales at the peak of his powers and lost his close unanimous decision in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao avenged a defeat a year later, knocking out Morales in the tenth round of the pulsing competition in Thomas and Mack Center. Before he scored the stunning second seven rounds earlier in a rubber match ten months later. Morales was the only of his failures he would reverse.
We all know a lot about Morales. The Mexican legend show in 2011 against Marcos Maidan at the age of 34 was a fantastic show of the legend of the real ring. Unfortunately, the fight with Danny Garcia went a step too far in 2012.
4 – Timothy Bradley [June 9, 2012]
Pacquiao’s failure with Bradley is well documented. Today it is annoying that such parodies occur in the sport that we love. But unfortunately they still do it, and this is undoubtedly one of the worst.
The divided decision against Pacquiao was a noise since the last bell. The score lasted IRK, until Pacquiao gained revenge, and then a rubber fight that should never have happened. In compact, Pacquiao won all three Bradley fights convincingly about the evidence of the trilogy.
Pacquiao [54-3-2, 38 KOs] He won the initial fight 118-110 on the WBN results card. However, he was robbed by a terrible decision, which was recognized by the expansive majority of the media of the boxing world after the fight.
5 – Juan Manuel Marquez [December 8, 2012]
It is quite possible that the loss with Bradley had a demanding impact on Marquez’s fight. Six months after Shadley Shocker in December 2012, the way of thinking Pacquiao enters the fight undoubtedly was not suitable. This was probably because he was disappointed with judging and went to a knockout against Marquez.
This Gung-HO attitude, caused by the decision, potentially made Pacquiao a reckless in choosing Marquez Ko. Ultimately, this meant that he was caught by an almighty blow, heard all over the world.
After a few bad decisions against Pacquiao, the victory of Marquez in the sixth round was poetic justice. Then he refused Pacquiao a chance to be humble.
6 – Floyd Mayweather Jr [May 2, 2015]
There will always be sadness and looking back at this super-catering, knowing not only that the audience received many years too behind schedule, but also that Pacquiao stated that he was wounded during the fight.
We will never find out what would happen if they met in 2010. Floyd did what Floyd does and softened a unilateral triumph in 2015. Despite the disappointment, “Maypac” remains the best -earning struggle of all time and sold the second highest salary for views.
7 – Jeff Horn [July 2, 2017]
When you thought that the situation could not get worse than Bradley’s fight, the horn meeting tried to raise him as best as possible. The fight in summer 2017 down ended like Bradley I.
Pacquiao dominated the fight only to re -build judges in the fight for the WBO welterweight title. It is possible that Pacquiao should have only six losses in its album. However, there will always be opposite arguments, stating that Pacquiao’s career has compensated.
8 – Yordenis Ugás [August 21, 2021]
Fighting in forty and becoming the oldest welterweight master in 2019, Pacquiao defended the crown against a harsh Cuban. Ugas was a behind schedule replacement after Errol Spence Jr. He withdrew, leaving Pacquiao without the possibility of two stripes.
He could not get up to the fight and lost again for the eighth time in his career.
The return was on the cards in 2025 in 45, when Manny Pacquiao tried to create more stories. However, after the end of 46 years, Pacquiao turned to politics until May this year.
