Nicknamed "The Golden Boy", De La Hoya has defeated 17 world champions and has won ten world titles in six different weight classes. He founded Golden Boy Promotions, a combat sport promotional firm. 

Pacquiao refused to include himself in his list as he believes boxing fans have their choices as well. “Hayaan na natin ang next generation na maglagay sa atin diyan,” he told ABS-CBN News' Jay Dayupay.
