A five weight world champion.
On a fifteen fight winning streak, including wins over Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito and Shane Mosley.
Only three defeats.
The debate who would have won between himself and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. left open for eternity.
A record of 54-3-2 (38 KO).
From this point on Pacquiao lost his young Tyson-like aura and began to tarnish his legacy. It must be very hard to live with for his fans that he was vanquished by Mayweather after such a long-standing debate.
It is interesting to note that this was also the point that "strength and conditioning" coach Alex Ariza left his team. Would things have been different if he'd stayed?
Either way he should have retired here.
