Pacquiao, tagged as “The Mexicutioner” has beaten Barrera, Marquez, Larios, Solis and Morales. He is aiming to to get five world titles in five different weight classes.

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao won the most anticipated rematch in the history of boxing, in a split decision. Both Judges scored 115-112 and 114-113 for Pacquiao while another judge had it 115-112 in favor of Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez.
