Also to add in your list, Ring Magazine, Boxingscene, ESPN, CNN SI, and Fox Sports also officially announced that they have selected Pacquaio as the Fighter of the Decade. (from JON)
It’s really incredible how Pacquiao had done this despite of the destitute he experienced. What dazzled me most was how Pacquiao stayed humble as ever. Signing autographs to anyone, smiling in many notable occasions, thanking God as the source of his strength, helping his countrymen in times of needs and calamities, and making the Filipinos proud of how he managed himself in a better way in spite of the naysayers out there excoriating him.
It’s really amazing! To be on the peak of boxing and to be compared to the all-time greats, Pacquiao is a very good example of a famous saying from a commercial, “Just do it.”
