    So you're the Fan Of the one Who Scared to fight Right? So you Like Boxing or You like to catch Drug users?? But There's the narcotics to do that kind of Job. Isnt it the Nevada State Comission was in incharge of that? That's why they caught Toney.

    Wow. You are actually quoting Freddie Roach's words. Yet, you think he's complete BS. Can anyone say HYPOCRITE?

    :lol:

    This award is dedicated to 2000-2009. The steroid rumors didn't start until after his last fight of this past decade. So technically, his refusal to do drug testing has nothing to do with his career in the past decade.

    Isn't that Makati? Not trying to nitpick. I don't think Manila has skyscrapers.

    Makati is Manila's suburb and it's financial district. Manila's skyscrapers are in the distant background on the shores of Manila Bay.

    2010 Fighter of the Year, Fighter of the Decade, and WBO welterweight champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao (51-3-2) delivered an inspiring speech at the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) awards dinner on Friday, June 4, 2010.

    In his acceptance speech, Pacquiao said:

    Good evening everyone . . .

    Poverty confronted my family; poverty challenged my youth . . .

    I was pressured but was not crushed . . .

    In my struggles, I combatted poverty with boxing gloves . . .

    I trusted God and dreamed big . . .

    I learned from my mistakes . . .

    At the start of the century, I was convinced that I could excel in boxing . . .

    Tonight, I overflow with joy and graititude.

    I am thankful that like [Muhammad] Ali and Joe Frazier and other fighters, I decided to get into boxing . . .

    I decided to not give up; to never give up.

    I decided to trust God. God formed my destiny . . . He formed me from nothing into something. He knows everything about me . . .

    To my countrymen around the world, you are my strength . . .

    All the sacrifices have been beneficial and rewarding . . .

    We come from different backgrounds and races, but we are all connected . . .

    We all desire a sense of meaning, we all desire a sense of purpose.

    We all desire to be good, and to leave a legacy.

    I am Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao, and I am proud to be a Filipino . . .

    We are all destined for greatness . . .

    Greatness lies not in strength, but in the use of that strength . . .



    The Filipino joined Muhammad Ali and Evander Holyfield as the only three-time recipients of the Sugar Ray Robinson Fighter of the Year Award.

    In earning Fighter of the Decade awards, Pacquiao joined Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Roy Jones, Jr., as being considered as the best prize fighters in their respective decades.


    Well done PAC... :happy :happy
