          Manny is an ATG. Undoubtedly and unquestionably.

              Great stuff from Roach and Lampley.

              Freddy found his Ali.

                  YouTube Movies has an awesome Doc up right now. One of the best boxing documentaries IMO.

                                  One of the all-time greats... And he's still going. Just as Lampley says, it is mind-boggling. What a phenomenal story it would be if he could pull off one more victory.

                                      My dad took me to the Oscar-Castellijo fight and I didn't even realize until a couple years later I had also seen this Pacquiao-Ledwaba fight on that undercard. I remembered the fight, I remember Pac but at the time you don't like oh **** that's Manny Pacquiao. I just remembered he was a Philipino lefty with the blondish highlights

                                      Manny's team was all dressed alike walking around the casinos on Friday/Saturday; he was a nobody here but his damn team was all over the place, so he already had a presence about him...you wouldn't miss these people. I don't remember when it all clicked, it might have been only as he stood across the ring when he was about to fight Barerra or Marquez and I was like oh damn these guys might be in trouble! Can't believe it has been that long, Pac is definitely a connection and bridge for me to those great boxing times in the 2000s, timeless fighter
