Manny Pacquiao: The 5 Biggest KOs in Pacman's Career (with Video)
Manny Pacquiao is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, and has had his share of entertaining knockout victories in his career.
Although Pacquiao rarely produces one-punch KOs, he still delivers some exciting stoppages in the ring.
Here are Pacquiao's best KOs throughout his incredible 16-year career.
5. TKO of Miguel Cotto
1 of 5Manny Pacquiao gave Migeul Cotto the beating of a lifetime during their WBO welterweight title bout on November 14th, 2009.
The fight went 12 rounds but ended shy of the final bell, when Pacquiao let a relentless attack on Cotto rifle off, prompting the ref to stop the fight.
Although it was not technically a "knockout," the punishment Pacquiao bestowed upon Cotto which resulted in a TKO victory makes the list on the sheer brutality alone.
Note: The fight is stopped at the 49:21 mark.
4. KO of Erik Morales
2 of 5Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales came into their rubber-match fight with their series knotted up at 1-1, and Pacquiao was out for blood.
Pacquiao made sure the fight didn't go the full 12 rounds as their two previous fights did, making quick work of Morales by knocking him out in Round 3 of the scheduled 12-round fight.
In one of the best rounds of boxing you will ever see, Pacquiao knocked Morales down once before exchanging a barrage of power shots in which Pacquiao floored Morales again, ending the fight in electrifying fashion.

3. KO of Mike Luna
3 of 5In one of Manny Pacquiao's earlier fights, he delivered one of his best knockouts of his career when he stopped Mike Luna in the first round of their fight on March 3rd, 1997.
