No doubt Manny Pacquaio is the Filipino hero of our modern era. He’s not in the battle against country’s enemy, yet in his every fight he carries with the armor of a true blooded warrior. The fiery confidence and full-spirited desire to win thus bring forth the honor for our country.
Before he was a teenager, Manny Pacquaio was selling cigarettes on the streets of Manila trying to survive. Now he is a Filipino hero and superstar on the verge of making boxing history.
The 30-year-old southpaw will face British Ricky Hatton on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) for the Englishman’s junior welterweight title. A Pacquaio victory would match him for the all-time record of world crowns in six different weight divisions.
