Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao on Philippine Basketball Association

Emmanuel "Manny" Dapidran Pacquiao or simply Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao as we all know is the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA), World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s. He is also a three-time The Ring and BWAA "Fighter of the Year," winning the award in 2006, 2008 and 2009, and the Best Fighter ESPY Award in 2009 and 2011. He is the current WBO welterweight champion and is currently ranked number four on The Ring pound-for-pound list (after he loses with Juan Manuel Marquez on Pacquiao – Marquez 4). Yes, that’s the Pacman we all know! From his climb to Lightweight until he losses in 2012, he was long rated as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world by some sporting news and boxing websites, including ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Sporting Life, Yahoo! Sports, About.com, BoxRec and The Ring. Now, can you even imagine Pacman playing on a different ring? October 26, Manny Pac

Manny Pacquiao Is Not A Declining Fighter

For us Filipinos, we always thought that we know Manny Pacquiao inside and out. We’re all an expert on our own fields, but more often than not, we tend to judge people according to our own beliefs. Have we asked ourselves, do we really know the man? Or Manny still have something hidden for us to see on his next fights? Manny Pacquiao is hardly a trash talker or the type to make bold, outrageous predictions. Everytime he stand in the ring even during the weigh-in and press cons, he’s always on a good mood and a smile never leaves his face. With many predicting his demise, however, an apparently insulted Pacquiao boldly predicts a knockout of Brandon Rios. We can never blame them, he suffered two consecutive losses, one with a really devastating result. Coach Freddie Roach mentioned that he felt Pacquiao would stop Rios on Saturday (Sunday morning Macau time) in the sixth round of their 12-round welterweight bout at CotaiArena during an interview while Manny Pacquiao is sitting next

NBA Star Yao Ming Looked Down on Manny Pacquiao

Due time, the tense between China and The Philippines seems to be increasing exponentially because of some territorial disputes. As of the latest news, the Republic of the Philippines files a dialogue between two countries before the United Nations. One time during the Manny Pacquiao - Brandon Rios media tour in China, a certain man looked down on the Philippine superhero Manny Pacquiao. That man is nontheless, NBA Star You Ming! He literraly looked down on Manny Pacquiao! Can you imagine a 7-foot-6-inches Yao Ming meets 5-foot-7-inches Manny Pacquiao. If you think that Yao Ming is out of the radar, think again! That former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is 7-foot-6! Quite tall for a human, yes we all agree on that, but the degree to which we recognize and are awestruck by his height has increased significantly following his retirement from the NBA after the 2010-11 season.       Internet users have marveled at photographic evidence that he is taller/bigger than a wide

Manny Pacquiao versus Juan Manuel Marquez III

The world is awaiting for the trilogy-ender between the "Pambansang Kamao" Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Juan Manuel "El Dinamita" Marquez. I know that you already have purchased your ticket from your fave resto to reserve a seat to pamper yourself this Sunday, November 13.
