In all honesty, Manny Pacquiao is the face of boxing.

    For the last 3 Years yes he is and until now, but before that it was definitely Oscar.

    PS: Among my classmates in college, nobody knows Floyd and most of them know Oscar, about half knows Pacman. But everybody does know coz he fought Hatton. I'm from England btw.

      I hope Pac's reign at the top of boxing doesn't get to his head and start showing a bad side. Becoming an icon unfortunately bears a responsibility to the public, especially to those who will try to emulate him, young and old, and the fans who has come to embrace him. Boxing is an ancient sport most people in the world understand and whoever is on the top becomes a global name. Ali glorified boxing in the years the gov't exiled him. Let's enjoy this while it lasts....

        It's crazy how many people are talking about Saturday's fight. In all honesty, it was the Hispanic community in America that were contributing to Oscars success, but everyone of all walks of life have been talking about Many as of late. Phenomenal it is.

              Sad thing is Manny is 30 years old. With his style, i don't see him being able to stay as sharp for too long. I say he has a good 4-5 years left in him.

                    That is so untrue. Mayweather-Hatton did 900k, Pacquiao against the same fighter is gonna do AT LEAST 1 million.

                      I dont see Pac fightng past 2010. He seems to enjoy training and fighting though, and he's definitely a showman. Freddie kept talking about how he liked to impress the spectators at Wild Card.
