November 5, Boxing Examiner
Over 20 years after former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson appeared on the U.S. cover of TIME Magazine, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao has achieved the same feat. A month after several typhoons devastated the Philippines, killing hundreds and displacing hundreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen, "Pacman" is featured on the cover of TIME Magazine's Asia edition. Pacquiao recently contributed time and money to the relief efforts. All regions of the publication will feature a story on the pound-for-pound boxing icon this weekend. (Boxers on TIME Magazine Cover) Titled "The Great Hope" the Filipino's appearance on the cover is historic for any sports athlete. Only 11 boxers have graced the cover of TIME since the 1920's
