Yes I do, Manny Pacquiao is a good in boxing and was featured in Time Magazine. He is living in the Philippines and rank one as the best boxer in the World. So far no one can beat him. He is inviting Mayweather for a match, but the latter seems chicken with him. Manny Pacquiao's name are stick to some intrigues too with Krista Ranillo and Ara MIna. As of now the relationship with her wife Jinky is getting strong. He is now a Congressman in Saranggani.

Actually, it's seven weight division titles with two asterisk as the 126-pound belt (featherweight)he won against Marco Antonio Barrera in their first meeting (Pacquiao's baptism of fire)was not a legitimate world championship it's just thr lineal belt awarded by the Ring Magazine. Barrera, despite coming off a win against Morales, was without a championship belt during his fight with Pacquiao as he vacated it due to the harsh nature of politics in boxing -- the sole reason why prior to the fight against Pacquiao Barrera was dubbed as the people's champion/uncrowned king of the division. Needless to say, the fight between Pacquiao and Barrera was not sanctioned by any governing bodies of boxing. That makes it six. Another fact that should be noted is that the IBO 140-pound belt Pacquiao won against Ricky Hatton was not one of the four major bodies (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO)adding another asterisk belt. That makes it five. Although both Barrera and Hatton were considered the finest in their division when Pacquiao fought them, (except for the second fight against Barrera) they do not own a legitimate championship by any major governing body. Depending on what kind of history one holds to, the number of championship varies. But it's quite true that Pacquiao is a seven-division title holder but he's not a seven division world champion. Just saying.

I know him. i think most Filipinos know him. He's a very good boxer and he has won lots of title fights. He already is very rich. But I wished he had not entered politics. He can help others in some other ways aside from becoming a government official. If he is not careful with his wealth, other people may take advantage of him. But as a boxer, I salute him. He made the Filipinos proud!

Yea, I know him and I think all of the Filipinos know him. He's a great fighter inside and outside the ring. He's very smart in his moves and he represents determination.

well, i don't know him personally but i know of him. i have seen him a couple of times too. i work at the airport and whenever manny pacquiao's there, it's always a huge buzz. one time i was just coming in from work and all the guys were just waiting at the carousel, even the ones at the ramp were looking in. i asked what's going on, and the guard said that manny's arriving from general santos so everyone was waiting to catch a glimpse of him.
