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 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).

Manny Pacquiao won his last fight just recently against Brandon BamBam Rios, and he dedicated this fight for the victims of typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan. As he came back here in the Philippines, he immediately do something about helping the typhoon victims. To his dismay, the BIR has frozen all his bank accounts.

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

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
