Undoubtedly the hottest boxer in the planet today is Manny Pacquiao. Whenever Manny Pacquiao fights, tickets are sold out, celebrities come out to play, and the Philippine congress is virtually a ghost town.

Where can you find a boxer who’s country’s Vice President goes into the ring whenever he wins? True most of these politicians are only after the exposure and some are even hoping that by being close to the Pacman during one of Pacquia fights, they’ll get endorsed during the elections.

The next biggest fight in boxing this year will not be a fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Juan Manuel Marquez, or even Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto. Truth be told, the biggest fight of the year is a Pacquiao vs fight.

Yep you only need to fill in the blanks opposite Pacquiao’s name and you would have yourself the biggest fight in the business.

It’s amazing how this simple kid from General Santos City, Philippines has captured the boxing world’s, scratch that, the world’s imagination. Sometimes I even think that Manny Pacquiao’s story should be part of those fairy book tales that they sell in bookstores.

If fact, there ought to be a law on that. Kidding.
