Manny Pacquaio (38-2-1 29KO) shocked a lot of people by taking apart a very dangerous fighter and all-time great Marco Antonio Barrera. The young Philippine fighter has made a huge statement in doing so, and is about to take on another dangerous opponent, Juan Manuel Marquez (42-2-33 KO). Marquez is the IBF/WBA Featherweight Champion, and is not to be taken lightly. Pacquaio is another example of what boxing needs. He is a classy young man, with respect for his opponents, and a respect for the sport of boxing. His story should inspire many of his countrymen that hard work can really pay off in this world. I spoke with Manny Pacquaio today, and we talked about his upcoming fight, his role models in life, and just boxing in general. This is what this Champion had to say.
