Everyone knows Manny Pacquiao is currently preparing for the biggest fight of his career when he finally faces Floyd Mayweather May 2 in Las Vegas, but you may not know that his professional boxing career started 20 years ago in his native Philippines. At the time, the teenage Pacquiao was just 4’11” and 98 pounds. In fact, he was so small that he had to hide weights in his pockets to make the 105-pound minimum. Over the next 20 years and 64 fights, Pacquiao would go on to win ten world titles across eight divisions, the only boxer to do so. Not too bad for a kid who once lived on the streets of Manila.
