Manny Pacquiao: The Greatest Boxer who Ever Lived

Manny Pacquiao: "The greatest boxer who ever lived" claim is not without merit. Consider these:

1. The first and only boxer to send Morales to the canvass and he did it multiple times.
2. The only boxer to knockdown Marquez 3 times in 1 round and a total of 4 times in 2 fights.
3. The only boxer who dominated Dela Hoya.
4. The only boxer who dominated Cotto and can be recognized as the first and only fighter to beat him legally.
5. The only boxer to send future HOFs in retirement or semi-retirement after beating them convincingly and emphatically. Remember the great names of Barrera, Morales, Dela Hoya, Hatton, and probably Cotto.
6. The first Asian boxer to hit the real big time in the US and, in fact, in the whole world.
7. The first boxer in decades to be featured in the cover page of the prestigious Time magazine.
8. The first and only boxer who owns a semi-pro basketball team and plays in it.
9. The first and only boxer to run for government office while still highly active in his career.
10. The only boxer who leads a political party.
11. The first boxer to sing in Jimmy K's show live.
12. The only boxer who competed in his country's national pool (billiards) championships and reach the quarterfinals.
13. The second boxer to raise fighting birds in his own farm (the firsts were Roy Jones, Jr. and his father).
14. The only boxer I know who plays chess as a hobby.
15. You know about the 7 in 7 and possibly 8 in 8 come the near future and before everything is said and done.
16. Soon to become the first and only former boxer to serve his country as its president.
Try and beat that.
