5. Manny Pacquaio (2010)
The most recognizable East Asian athlete on the planet, Pacquaio is a beast. The Filipino boxer is the only boxer in history to win titles in eight different weight classes. This is a freakish achievement because of the toll it must have taken upon his body. Meanwhile, he also held titles across four decades, also a unique record. Pacquaio is a ferocious power puncher and beat the best of the best.
As well as winning in the ring, Pacquaio also wins in life. He is a member of the Filipino parliament and is a potential presidential candidate. ‘The Pacman’ continues fighting into his forties and shows no signs of slowing down. The likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Rickey Hatton all fell victim to his right hand. Also, he was a part of the biggest pay-per-view ever when he fought Floyd Mayweather.
