Recently eight-weight division Manny Pacquiao was formally inducted into one of the greatest places and prizes in all of professional sport worldwide.
That’s the International Boxing Hall of Fame of course. It transcends borders, countries and is one of the most objective, non bias things voted on by anyone in professional sport, anywhere.
It is that hard to get into you must be dead five years or retired five to at least be considered.
Pacquiao got in as an active fighter too (even fewer achieve that, he’s one of the rare few ever).
Pacquiao Shares Powerful Words On 127th Filipino National Independence Day
Today he shared a powerful message on Facebook for his country’s 127th ever national Independence Day (translated to English below):
“Happy 127th Independence Day! Freedom. The future. History. Let us raise the Philippine flag with honor and true love for the country. Let’s continue to serve, pray, and fight for the future of our race. May the Lord bless us all. God bless the Philippines!”
Here, here. Great country and people. We know that many in the East and the West have time for them in terms of the powers that be and people in general.
There are approximately 110 million Filipinos worldwide and growing.
Pacquiao bids to become the second oldest world champion in history on July 19th when at 46 he challenges Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight championship of the world.
This shows Pacquiao is still faster than most young fighters, even at 46, in terms of his training at the moment.
