Three years ago did anyone see Manny Pacquiao becoming the star he is?

    oh yes, he was a *******.
    He's still not a threat. He's just with the wrong promoter. If he was not with Bob Arum, Mayweather vs Pacquiao could happen in a finger snap.

      I know David Diaz personally and the only people who knew about that fight was the boxing world and everyone in the Philippines. When Pacquiao fights now the world knows.

          I never pictured him winning a congressional seat, making the front cover of Time magazine or singing Imagine with Will Ferrell on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
          You hit the nail on the head my friend. I dont think anyone could have contemplated how big his star power would become.... I just wonder who will take the torch after Mayweather and Pacquiao are finished.

                  He had the Mexican good looks to pull it off.

                    He was already a star three years ago. Maybe even 10 years ago.

                    I didn't think he'd go up to 147 and dominate ODLH, Cotto and Margarito like he did though. That was a surprise.
