In the Sports Boxing, Manny Pacquiao
conquered the hearts of boxing fanatics not only in the Philippines but also
the whole world. This Filipino boxer was born on December 17, 1978 in Bukidnon,
Philippines and is blessed with an extra-ordinary skill in boxing – making him
one of the greatest boxers of all time. Manny Pacquiao is considered to be the
first and the only eight-division world champion because he won eleven major
world titles. Also, he is the first to
win the lineal title in five different weight classes. In the glamour divisions
(flyweight, featherweight, and welterweight), he ranks third having won major
world titles.
In the year 2000, the Boxing
Writers Association along with WBC and WBO tagged him as the “Fighter of the
Decade.” He won many awards in the years 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2011. There are
many coined titles for him like; “The Greatest Asian Fighter of all Time”, “The
Best Pound for Pound Boxer in the World,” “Pambansang Kamao,” and a lot more. In
the year 2015, he became the highest paid athlete earning more every game from
pay-per-view to all his bouts. This boxer is a dreamer and a leader. He
ventured in basketball, music recording, acting, politics, and as well as business.
In 2010, he entered politics with
flying colors because he was elected congressman in Sarangani. He made it too
in his reelection in the same position in 2013. His bouts in his boxing game
continued with fame and winnings while in 2016 elections, he became one of the
Philippines Senator who will serve a six year term until 2022. Manny Pacquiao
is the epitome of sports, politics, and other fames. He continues with what
makes him closer to people but he remains to be on top of the boxing world –
making him the living legend of the boxing industry – a pride to his name and
to his country.
