Filipino great Manny Pacquiao is often credited with being one of the greatest fighters of his entire generation.
The former pound-for-pound superstar had an exceptional professional career which culminated in him holding world titles in eight weight classes, ranging from flyweight to light-middleweight.
Pacquiao became a dominant force during the 2000s into the 2010s, picking up legacy-defining victories over the likes of Juan Manuel Marquez, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya.
The 47-year-old made a shock return to action in July of last year when he fought to a majority decision draw against former WBC world welterweight champion Mario Barrios, falling short in his attempt at becoming the oldest ever welterweight world champion.
In a feature with The Ring Magazine, Pacquiao reflects on his stellar professional career as he claims three-time world champion Antonio Margarito had the best chin of any of his opponents.
“Antonio Margarito: That fight was a war. It was brutal. I threw everything at him and he not only took it but came back for more. Incredible.”
Pacquiao got the better of Margarito when they locked horns back in November of 2010, stopping the Mexican-American star to capture the vacant WBC light-middleweight title and become the first fighter in boxing history to win world titles in eight divisions.
Margarito ended his career with a record of 41 wins from 50 fights, but is perhaps also known for his tampered hand wrap controversy which was discovered before his clash with Shane Mosley, which resulted in a ninth round stoppage win for Mosley.
