Manny Pacquiao is the second non-heavyweight professional boxer to be featured on the cover of the well-respected magazine, and the first Asian boxer at that.
Other boxers who had made it to the magazine’s cover include heavyweights Jack Dempsey, Primo Carnerra, Gene Tunney and the controversial Mike Tyson.
Pacquiao said being featured in the magazine is the “most humbling experience” in his boxing career.
“It is a great honor for me to be the face of my people and let everyone know we are a small but mighty country”, He said.
Pacquiao will attempt to make history in his bout with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto on November 14 in Las Vegas. If he wins the match, he will be the first boxer to ever record seven world titles in seven different weight classes.
For the record, Pacquiao has won titles in the junior welterweight, lightweight, super featherweight, featherweight, super bantamweight and flyweight divisions. The question is, can he get the 7th title in boxing and made his own record in his boxing career..?? What do you think…??
