What Makes Manny Pacquiao Different From Other Boxers?

When he enters the ring amid a roaring crowd in Las Vegas, Manny is not your typical boxing champion who would wear an intimidating, hostile face. Manny keeps a happy face while the crowd is restless. Manny wears an infectious smile when he approaches the ring while people think he should be showing seriousness on his face, in preparation for a life-changing battle.

Look at him how he reacts after a victorious fight. If he kneels down praying to God before a fight, Manny Pacquiao does the same thereafter, which shows that he makes God the center of his boxing career.

The road to greatness, yes, is paved with a lot of self-sacrifice and hard work, but it can never be traveled on without genuine humility and consistent faith in God.

Manny and Mosley's awaited fight will be on May 7, 2011 on MGM grand. They both wanted to exert more effort in preparing for the said fight. The "Filipino Champ" at the same time congressman of Sarangani said that he is fighting not because of the money involved in the game, but he wants to raise the pride of all Filipino. If we will notice, every fight, Manny were so much proud of his country by raising his Philippine flag after his victory fight.

People are expecting that this fight is going to be a great fight of the year. Mosley said that he can knock out Manny but no one believes him because many people still believes in the power of Pacquiao's fist.

It is easy to admire Manny because his boxing exploits have a global appeal. He is not just popular in Philippine islands, Manny is definitely a sport icon to the rest of the world.

Becoming like Manny is no easy dream. To even think of it is a painstaking mental process. No, Manny does not use his greatness to immobilize those who try to be rude to him and undermine his capabilities. Whenever he is asked of his reaction to a comment that apparently puts him down, Manny does not answer it with blatant words. He instead exercises humility and meekness.

A frightening face is what you see in most boxing champions whenever they climb up the ring. But that is not what we see in Manny's. Despite his unprecedented stature and despite the fact that he is tremendously adored and feared of, Manny never loses the face of a happy schoolboy.

Look at him how he reacts after a victorious fight. In fact it is difficult to separate the two. God hates the proud and arrogant, the Bible says. A truly godly person has in him a vast ocean of humility, in deeds and in thoughts.

The road to greatness, yes, is paved with a lot of self-sacrifice and hard work, but it can never be traveled on without genuine humility and consistent faith in God.
