It is Tuesday May 4, 2004, and Manny Pacquiao is hard at work ? the temperature outside is currently 100 degrees, but that does very little to disrupt the current Ring Magazine champion?s focus
In five days he is scheduled to take on Juan Manuel Marquez (of Ciudad de Mexico), for the unified Featherweight Championship, in what is being dubbed, ?Hearts And Fists On Fire.?
Pacquiao was born in the Philippines in 1978, and till this day he proudly calls the Island home. He is arguably their biggest star ? with almost a dozen movies to his credit ? actually, Manny might be the most popular sports figure Southeastern Asia has ever seen.
