If Manny Pacquiao had to be compared to a lens through which one beheld boxing, one would encounter a controlled yet unshackled flurry of movements occupying space and time inside the ring. Constantly pivoting, initiating, and launching a dozen of punches as permitted by opportunities, Pacquiao certainly seemed relentless in his heydays. Concerning most of his opponents, the only thing predictable about Pacquiao was his unpredictability.

In 2015, with three welterweight titles on the line, Pacquiao faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the ring. The duo fought for 12 scheduled rounds culminating in Mayweather winning the fight via UD. Recently, a brief compilation of Pacquiao dealing with Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, and Erik Morales went viral reminding fans yet again about Pacquiao’s impressive skills. While some praised his boxing, others took a jab at ‘TBE’.
