I opened my gym, WildCardBoxingClub , in hopes that the next Muhammad Ali would walk through the door. Little did I know that in 2001, my Muhammad Ali would weigh 122 pounds. His name was Manny Pacquiao and he was and still is the pride of the Philippines. For twenty years, after Manny and I first did mitts in the ring at Wild Card, we trained together for some of the biggest fights. As his collection of world championship belts grew, so did his presence in boxing and the world. Today’s announcement that Manny will be a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 makes me incredibly proud. As much as I loved working together with Manny all those years, I’m even happier sharing the same wall with him at the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Manny. You deserve this. You are and will always be my Muhammad Ali. #livinglegend #mannypacquiao #legend #boxer #fighter #champion #worldchampion #goat #wildcardboxing #wildcardboxingclub #boxing #family #community #Philippines #freddieroach #trainer #USA #HallOfFame #IBHOF #history #boxinglife #fightlife #TeamPacquiao Fred Sternburg WildCardBoxingStore UFC Store Sean Gibbons Top Rank Boxing … Photos owned by and taken by Vortex Photos
