New footage has emerged on Facebook of a young Manny Pacquiao knocking out a fully-grown man.
Pacquiao, nicknamed 'Pacman', is one of the finest fighters to grace the ring, winning 59 of his 67 fights (including 38 knockouts) and currently holds the WBO welterweight title.
He's the first and only eight-division world champion, having also been successful in bantamweight and featherweight divisions.
But there's no doubt that the talent was already there. As a teenager, he made his name in the Philippines by knocking out men much more experienced than himself.
The video shows Pacquiao knocking 10 bells out his opponent, Renato Mendones, and sending him onto the canvas.
Mendones picks himself back up during the count but is only met by a torrent of Pacman punches before the referee steps in to save him.
"It should have been stopped a minute earlier than that," wrote one viewer. "He took the unnecessary punishment for too long, so much power."
Another said: "He was a beast even at 16 - he's gone through eight different weight classes as well."

The Filipino fighter racked-up the biggest revenue for a boxing fight when he went toe-to-toe with Floyd Mayweather. The fight was worth an estimated £320m.
Pacquiao, who is also known for his work out of the ring, is rumoured to be coming out of retirement for one final fight.
Amir Khan was a favoured opponent before negotiations broke down last month.
Away from the tape, gloves and mouthguards, did you know that Pacquiao is a politician, a basketball player (despite being only 5'6" tall), an actor and a singer?
The 38-year-old was made an honorary member of the Boston Celtics in 2010, but four years later he announced his intentions to join the PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) as a playing coach, but was ordered to go through the draft system.
He played for the Mahindra Floodbuster's (who've had several name changes since he originally joined back in 2014), as well as owning a team in the development league.
Away from sport, Pacquiao has also run for a seat in the Philippine House of Representatives. In 2007, he only gained 35.5 percent of the votes, but just three years later he scored an overwhelming 66.3 percent vote which saw him sworn in. His aim was to ensure the entry of more projects to his province.
In 2013, he ran again, and retained his seat in office.

And it doesn't stop there; he's an actor as well. He's starred in a lot of local films back in his home country, and Pacman has also held talks with various Hollywood directors over some roles, too, including Sylvester Stallone.
Finally, he's also had a nine-year singing career. His first album in 2006 had hits such as 'This Fight Is For You' and 'It's Just A Challenge'. (Yeah, don't worry, we've not heard of them either)
Pac-Man Punch was his 2007 compilation and he had three more albums before calling it a day in 2015.
Clearly, there is much more to the man than a cracking upper-cut. But, back to the original point, his future was clearly written for him when he smashed his older opponent to the floor.
A year after doing so, he won on his professional debut when beating fellow Filipino Edmund Enting Ignacio.
What a man.
