Well he's had 5 fights and lost 2 so I guess it has to be his victory over JMM
Edit: Oh sorry are we just gonna start making things up then? Wow, I thought we were dealing in facts not fiction. He lost to Bradley, it wasn't even robbery, TB won the 2nd half of the contest it could have gone either way
For the last three years, Manny Pacquiao fought Shane Mosley (2011), JMM (2011), Timothy Bradley 2011), JMM (2012) and Brandon Rios (2013). With these, I am choosing his win against Brandon Rios as his most significant win since that fight is after a KO loss. His loss against Bradley could be his most significant win if not because of the judges but record is a record no matter what.
Brandon came from a loss against Alvarado before fighting Pacquiao but can not be denied that he beat Alvarado by stoppage on their first fight prior to that match up with Manny. This win doesn't have much essence if Manny didn't came from a KO loss serving as a gauge on where Manny Pacquiao is after that devastation. If they can set the judging straight and award the fight to the deserving fighter, I would say that his win against Bradley is the most significant.
The quality of competition far outweigh the result. What's the pride of winning against a well chosen opponent. I am sure you will agree with me on this.
Tim Bradley was a virtual nobody before Pacquiao fought him. True, he beat Devon Alexander ( another who he?) but he ducked Amir Khan who the fans generally believed as the best junior welterweight at that time. His stock only rose with his wins over Pacquiao, Provodnikov and Marquez. Since 2011, Manny has fought Shane Mosley (W), Marquez ( 1W, 1 L ), Bradley ( L) and Brandon Rios ( W). If Bradley is his last significant "win" then it's still a poor choice compared to his performance in the three years previous to 2011. If we say Marquez, it's still highly debatable given the fact that he lost his last fight to the Mexican by face-first KO.
Pacquiao has no clear significant win the last three years as Floyd had beaten Shane first by wide decision.
I don't see the significance of Manny beating a blown up lightweight Rios since both of them were coming off losses. Rios was a well selected foe for Manny since Bam Bam although tough and strong and game was ready made for Manny's style. It should have been the better skilled Mike Alvarado who beat Rios in their rematch but Arum opted for a safer opponent for his comeback. The fact that Alvarado lost to Provodnikov does not detract from this perception at the time the choice of Rios was made.
Marquez
The Bradley "win". Who cares if the judges got bought and gave the decision the wrong way? Anyone who watched the fight knows that Manny whooped Bradley, the guy who has one of the best records in boxing right now, a truly elite fighter.
His most significant fight was Bradley. People know Pacquaio won, but off of wins I would say Marquez.
All these answers ^^^^ He never beat Marquez LOL never convincingly or without controversy.
He has none, unless you count a highly controversial decision over Marquez.
The victory over his addiction to steroids.
pacquiao for the last three years has been facing his rivals.... he fell on the process but he remains and still comin
while floyd, wow, he beats everyone in such dominating fashion... how? he already explained it...
how many times do you have to hear it to understand it... he said he looks for low risk, non harmful, no hardwork, easy fights, ok?
