GO! MANNY GO!
Our beloved Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is truly a national pride and treasure of our motherland, the Philippines. Manny, thanks for making each filipino proud regardless of his or her stature in life and whether he or she resides in the Philippines or abroad. You are truly a gentleman in and outside the ring and always look back from your humble years even if you are now very successful. God Bless you and forever share his blessings upon you and your family

Demolition In Constant Motion Fighting Style, Pacquiao's Greatest Contribution to Boxing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manny Pacquiao will not only be remembered in boxing history as the only fighter to win eight world titles but also as the originator of a new fighting style in boxing that will be embraced by the younger boxers in the years to come.
You see, boxing, just like Kung Fu which has the "crane", the "tiger", the "monkey" and many other variations, has different and distinct fighting styles that are evident in a certain period of the sport's history.
And these fighting styles are unknowingly endorsed and popularized by the greatest performers of an era.
Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson represented a period when boxers embraced a brutal fighting style: Attack and Destroy.
Back then, boxing was all about taking every punch an opponent could dish out just to be able to land the big shots to the body and the head.
This was the period when the boxers' badges of courage were a pair of cauliflower ears and scarred eyebrows.
Then came Cassius Clay, who will later assume the name Muhammad Ali. He strutted in the ring and peppered his opponents' faces with his stinging punches and described that fighting style as "Floating Like a Butterfly, Stinging Like a Bee.
