Manny Pacquiao’s nickname is “Pac-Man,” which, until six months ago, seemed appropriate. It described his propensity for gobbling up opponents in workmanlike fashion.
But after his Nov. 15 destruction of featherweight king Marco Antonio Barrera, Pacquiao somehow seems more fierce than his cute moniker would suggest. As we all found out that night in San Antonio, Pacquiao is more “Jaws” than “Pac-Man” — a killer who attacks its prey, rips it apart and devours it.
