Rest in Paradise Ledwaba! a WORLD Champion is a Champion Forever!

[kenyilopez]

And on that day, the boxing world was never the same...what’s crazy is that this fight, which fought at 122 lb division, was on the undercard of Oscar De La Hoya vs Javier Catillejo, which was fought at the 154 lb division. And only 7 years later, Pacquiao would defeat De La Hoya

[cliffm]

"Find me anyone who has been or could be a World Champion from 112 lbs to 154 lbs and has fought anyone in those weight categories, similar to what he did.

The remarkable thing about Pacquiao is that he fought every champion without dodging them, period."

[KuyaArbee]

incredible ADJUSTMENT! literally took out someone in the TOP rankings during that time! and made him look EASY! Pacquiao would be TROUBLE FOR ANYONE IN ANY ERA!

Today is the 20th year anniversary of this fight

[choirenthusiast]

Just look at how much bigger Pacquiao is compared to Ledwaba. That bone density difference is real. He has the wrist of a heavyweight fighter. No wonder Pacquiao hits so hard for a small person. I’m sure Ledwaba was terrified when that first punch landed.

[chrozzer]

That jab, hook, uppercut that Freddy Roach said was executed perfectly in 2nd round!! The perfect execution

[___Anakin.Skywalker]

It's sad Ledwaba succumbed to Covid. Hagler we lost him to corono too

[markberangelvillanueva]

40, 000usd in this fight, who would have thought that he can earn 100million usd in one fight with Mayweather

[pangkkie]

never imagine that on that same day, Oscar will find his last fight in the future.

[Jsse]

Pacquiao replacement Enrique Sánchez for those of you who didn't know.

[juldinzelberangberang]

When the announcer said all books he has it, then the rest is history.

[jhonreydelacruz]

Crazy how pacqiaou was in the Oscar undercard. Weight divisions apart. Then beat him years later

[steveperalta]

George Forman...." you don't want to move your head when you're fighting Ledwaba, because he can aim". Wft.... 😅Even Lamply was like 🤔

[avnera.]

"the othe guy" became goat today

[juancatalan]

Pac-Man did exactly what Jim lamps said get on the outside of the opponent’s foot

[jonasdelossantos]

that day Pacquiao is an ultimate underdog his not even the scheduled opponent of Ledwaba that cause Ledwaba's opponent got an above eye cut during sparring no one will thought that day will a goat of boxing will born Manny the Pacman Pacquiao. this fight is undercard for Dela Hoya main event without knowing Pacquiao will Body bag Dela Hoya someday.
