the best Asian boxer ever?Philippine boxing icon and numero uno best pound for pound boxer in the planet, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao (46-3-2, 35 KOs) is all gear up to invade the lightweight division and make history as the first Asian boxer to hold world titles in four weight classes, after capturing WBC and IBF belts at flyweight, junior featherweight and super featherweight. He's up against a tough Mexican-American David Diaz (34-1-1, 17 KOs). I remember a Los Angeles Times sports columnist hail the 29 year old from General Santos city as the greatest warrior from Asia to conquer the western world since Kublai Khan. Well of course this maybe to much of a praise but one thing is for sure though, Manny Pacquiao is arguably one of the greatest Asian contact sports fighter ever.
Good luck Pacman!
