The Meaning of Manny


Manny Pacquiao is in the same level as boxing greats Max Schmeling, Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Frazier, and Cassius Clay.

Pacman is the second non-heavyweight boxer to land as cover for Time magazine. He was the second Filipino after the former Pres. Corazon Aquino was named Time’s “Woman of the Year” in 1986.

The Time pays tribute to the Filipino southpaw with a story entitled “The Meaning of Manny”. He was given the accolade as the “the latest savior of boxing.”

The magazine features Pacquiao’s humble beginnings, his stature as the Philippines’ icon of pride and hope, boxing accomplishments, his family, and other personal features.

Pacquiao is scheduled to fight welterweight champion Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada dubbed as “Firepower”.
