How I voted for the International Boxing Hall of Fame, class of 2025
Briefly

"Pacquiao, whose last fight was a lopsided decision loss to Yordenis Ugas in August 2021, was transformative for the sport as one of its most popular boxers ever. 'Pacman' was a whirlwind who put the Philippines on the boxing map and produced countless sold-out crowds in Las Vegas along with several pay-per-views that crossed the 1 million-buy mark."
"He won titles in a record eight weight classes, an incredible feat when you consider he won his first title at 108 pounds and his final at 154 pounds. He was one-half of the top revenue-generating fight of all time, his 2015 clash with Floyd Mayweather that took place about five years too late."
"And Pacquiao was beloved for his indelible fighting spirit, his never-surrender attitude that was on display during his epic tetralogy with Juan Manuel Marquez and series of slugfests in a trilogy with Erik 'Terrible' Morales."
