The Fighting Pride of the Philippines is an eight-division world champ, the first boxer in history to win 10 world titles, the first to win in 8 different weight divisions, and the first to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes.
"There is not a day that goes by that I don't hear about Pacquiao's demolition of (Antonio) Margarito and his demolition of (Oscar) De La Hoya and all the fights he's had," said the legendary Sugar Ray Leonard about Pacquiao. "As far as I'm concerned, that's all that really matters. He's a star, he's a good guy and he's been good for boxing."
On top of all that, Pacquiao was recognized and honored with the title of “Fighter of the Year” in 2006, 2008, and 2009. But that’s just boxing! There are many other faces and sides to Manny Pacquiao.

Selected to the Philippines’ House of Representatives to represent the providence of Sarangani in May of 2010, Pacquiao is the only active boxer to become a congressman in the Philippines. With a perfect attendance record in congress, Pacquiao is expected to become a very string candidate to the presidency of his country in the not-so distant future.
