Pacquiao, History-Maker

It’s not his pen; it’s his fists that write history for Manny Pacquiao.

Here are some historical feats of the PACMAN.

  1. He is the first Filipino boxer to hold belts in three different weight divisions:  Flyweight, Superflyweight, Featherweight.
  2. He is the first to knock out Marco Antonio Barrera.
  3. He is the first to knock out Erik Morales.
  4. He is the richest Asian boxer so far.
  5. With his impending skirmish with the current champion Marco Antonio Barrera, he will be in the richest superfeather match in history.

I don’t claim to be exhaustive of the many “firsts” about Manny and these few listed above are subject to revision.

You can add to the list, if you know one.
