Manny "PAC MAN" Pacquiao

This is about as off topic as it gets but this weekend history was made in the sport of boxing. Now, it does not take a fan of the sport to appreciate such unprecedented greatness.
This weekend Manny Pacquiao completely destroyed a world champion fighter that was 17 pounds larger, 5" taller, and had 6" longer reach then Manny.
To put this in to perspective for those who do not know this INCREDIBLE human being, Manny Pacquiao started his professional boxing career at 112 pounds. This Saturday night he fought a man that was over 165 pounds, and he destroyed him. Destroyed. Antonio Margarito was left hospitalized with severe swelling and a broken orbital bone.
PLEASE, If you have not seen this guy already do yourself a favor and take a look. This guy is the best fighter of our lifetime. He is better then Durant, better then Ali, and better than Ray Leaonard. Oh yea, he is also a CONGRESSMAN in the Philippines and he started it all as a street kid living in filth.
While I do not like PGA, I have seen Tiger Woods. I may not like swimming but I sure as heck saw Micheal Phelps. I do not care for baseball but I know Alex Rodriguez is a beast. So even if you may not watch boxing or appreciate it as a sport take a minute to youtube this guy and get your popcorn ready.
A m ore incredible, exciting and complete fighter has never been seen before. Manny Pacquiao is a living legend. I am in awe.

I should note that with Saturdays brilliant win Manny Pacquiao became the FIRST BOXER IN HISTORY to win 8 different titles in EIGHT different weight classes. His last FIVE fights have been against BIGGER fighters. He destroyed every single one of them. For those who say Mayweather is the better fighter, I will say to you this parable: Better to let people think you to be a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Anyone who follows the sport knows Mayweather is not the best fighter in the world. At this point, he is barely even relevant in the face of such historic greatness.
