Here, let me Google 'most accomplished boxer' (not in quotes). These are the results that come up:

http://boxing.about.com/od/history/a/most_exciting_fighters.htm (Pacquiao is #2)

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130310085718AAZRAow (Pacquiao is listed as 1 of 5, but in no particular order)

http://www.thetoptens.com/boxers/ (Pacquiao is #1)

http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=14 (this is a rather confusing list that only includes boxers from 1892 to 1999)

http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=642932 (this is the 5th result which simply names Pacquiao as the most accomplished)

etc, etc, etc, The point is, even if you personally hadn't heard of him before he's certainly well enough known by the general public.
