Tungod, Inabanga, Bohol ? Why isn?t he at Wild Card yet? Is he in the best shape? Don?t those extracurricular activities distract him and hinder his attainment of peak form? Is he taking his opponent lightly? These are the usual questions that surface everytime Manny ?Pacman? Pacquiao of the Philippines is scheduled to strut his stuff inside the four corners of the squared circle. A few weeks left before the greatest fighter of this era laces his gloves once again for yet another shot at fortifying his already lofty spot in the annals of boxing, questions continue to pour. Here, we are going to discuss a few of these similar questions, unfounded or not, as we barge into the expectedly explosive matchup between the Pinoy idol and Antonio ?Loaded Hands? Margarito of Mexico.
PACQUIAO?S CONVOLUTED CHARACTER
Perhaps, no other topic is being talked about more than Pacquiao?s focus in training. It is understandable, considering the multifaceted personality of the pound for pound king. Can you think of any other athlete who is a boxer, billiards and basketball player, politician, recording artist, film and tv actor, businessman, family man, and many others all in one package? I guess not. These things, whether we like it or not, have everything to do with Pacquiao?s preference to train in the Philippines instead of training full-time in the States, which ought to be the ideal scenario. This worries the hell out of most of his loyal supporters. These concerns are genuine, especially considering the very tough task at hand.
