Manny Pacquiao admitted that one of his opponents packed a massive punch.
In his career, the Filipino established his reputation as one of the most dangerous men on the planet.
Pacquiao ruthlessly knocked out David Diaz, finished Oscar De La Hoya and stopped Lucas Matthysse.
However, while the icon has dished out his fair share of punishment, he’s also had to absorb some big shots himself.
On November 14, 2009, Manny Pacquiao knocked out Miguel Cotto in the final round of an exciting contest at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
However, while ‘PacMan’ emerged victorious that day, he still concedes that his rival carried an enormous amount of power.
In an old interview with The Ring Magazine, the eight-weight world champion said: “I can still feel some of those punches he threw at me.
“Staying on the ropes is not the best place to be when you are fighting him. He’s also accurate. He’s incredible.”
Throughout his time in boxing, Pacquiao faced some of the very best in the business.
Showcasing his dynamite hands, he left an array of talented fighters out for the count.
However, the warrior hasn’t just dropped seasoned athletes.
In an intense spar, Pacquiao dropped IShowSpeed with a massive blow.
