Jorge Julio
A showcase fight for Pacquiao on the undercard of the Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson fight. Pacquiao didn't fail to impress in front of a worldwide audience.
Julio was 44-3 at the time, an Olympic bronze medalist and a former 2-time Bantamweight champion, having been the WBC and later WBO champion for several years.
Most young fighters are showcased against lesser fighters. Pacquiao fought a very good veteran champion and destroyed him in 2 rounds.

Ricky Hatton
Pacquiao's world championship in a 6th weight division and 4th lineal title.
Hatton was 45-1 at the time, the lineal champion at Junior Welterweight and ranked in the Top 10 P4P.
Pacquiao battered Hatton in the 1st round and scored a devastating one punch knockout in the 2nd round showing the De La Hoya fight was no fluke and he can compete in the higher weight divisions.

A tough fight for Pacquiao at Super Bantamweight.
Nedal Hussein who was 19-0 at the time and half his wins at the time were by 1st round KO or TKO.
Pacquiao almost got knocked out. He got caught and dropped and he was totally out of it. Pacquiao showed a champion's heart fighting through adversity in a very tough and rough and very dirty fight.

Oscar Larios
Another tuneup in between fights of the Morales trilogy. A solid win against a very good fighter.
Larios was 56-4-1 at the time, a former WBC Junior Featherweight and later WBC Featherweight champion with wins over guys like Israel Vazquez, Willie Jorrin and Wayne McCullough.
Larios came in great shape and came to fight. He gave Pacquiao a tough time early in the fight until Pacquiao adjusted and took over in the 2nd half.
