Manny Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao

30, Boxer

"Manny has two advantages over his opponents: He's in better shape, and he'll take a punch. He averages 3,000 sit-ups and 44 sparring rounds per day; he runs about eight miles every other morning, uphill. I don't know what it is, but there's something inside of him. When he gets hit, he taps his gloves together as if to say, 'Here I come.' He gets after an opponent after he takes a shot, as if he liked it."

-Freddie Roach, Trainer

It's about time we all stepped our game up.
