Message from Manny Pacquiao November 25, 2009
So good day to you all again, to my dear countrymen, fans and subscriber of this column. I hope that you are in good condition like your humble servant, who even now is just healing the wounds suffered in the fight, who is still very happy because of the noticeable and visible joy in the faces of people on our victory ten days ago.
Its still like a dream, this win last November 14, the new and unique record of boxing - the seventh world title in seven different weight class. Its like I just woke up and conscious of my recollection that I just got that record in boxing that nobody has ever done in the whole history of the sport.
Who would have believe that we would beat the Goliath of boxing Miguel Angel Cotto, the champion in the welterweight division, who is expected to come in our fight stronger because he is younger, much bigger and taller than me.
This time again, as some of my previous fights, we proved that even though we are smaller in a fight, we are without equal in the size of a heart of a Filipino.
We proved that it is not just pure strength that we use in this sport but the intelligence and the psychology of fighting. Although I felt much pain, I was not obvious in the fight that I too was vulnerable to his punches.
Because of that, we made Cotto beleive that Manny Pacquiao was immune to any blow and we won in the end, 12th round match at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
We made all of this due to our tenacious faith in each other and our no-flicker belief in God Almighty, the source and origin of all the blessings we received as one nation and one tribe.
Because many believes that I can defeat the giants, like our win against Oscar Dela Hoya, Hatton and David Diaz, they now look up to Filipinos around the world. Because of our unity of will inside our room and theaters to watch a pay-per-view, I am now considered as the best boxer in the face of the earth and ahead of the formerly known as king of the ring Floyd Mayweather Jr.
We proved more popular and more followed on our fight with Cotto even though neither of us became arrogant or loud just so can we can sell our show. Instead, we restored the good image of boxing as a gentleman's sport. Large praise and grateful to Miguel Cotto on his being gentleman even in the midst of defeat. I salute Mr. Cotto for making our fight one of the best fights of the year, if not the best.
Until the next Combinations. God Bless Us All.
