Manny Pacquiao: "Millennium
Man"
Within the last decade, Filipino
Manny Pacquiao has not only
taken on and defeated a trail of
greats on his block (super-
featherweight and below), but
after running out of opposition,
subsequently decided to get
some northern exposure by
going up in weight and being a
bully in that neck of the woods
(lightweight - welterweight) as
well. Such an effort has earned
him every accolade from
"Fighter of the Year", to "Fight of
the Year", to "Best KO of the
Year", and beyond. With all of
those notches under his belt, one
would figure there would be no
room for more. Well, think again!
BWAA (Bowing Writers
Association of America) has
recently listed the fightin' Filipino
as "Fighter of the Decade", giving
him virtually every accolade
worth discussing. Recent
controversy about the possible
usage of performance
enhancement substances has
gotten the attention of many,
but this is just another indication
that not everyone believes
everything they hear. True or
false, Pacquiao is innocent until
proven guilty. That being said,
join me in tippin' my hat to the
sports official 'little-big man'.
