Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao's Instinct to Succeed!

In my previous topic, I mentioned my trainer and the trainer of my boxers Ben Delgado who handled the training of Manny Pacquiao in Manila aside from Boboy Fernandez. Ben Delgado was one of those who accompanied Manny for his first fight to the United States for the Super Bantam Weight IBF Championship against the Champion Lehlohonolo Ledwaba.

He was the corner man of Manny during that fight. Manny knocked out Lebwaba during that fight and became a World Super Bantam Weight IBF Champion. That fight was the turning point of Manny Pacquiao to stardum where he is right now! In spite of his big win over Lebwaba, An ordinary boxer would decide to retain Ben Delgado in his camp for his future fights in United States. Instead of retaining Ben Delgado, He choose Freddie Roach to handle his training for what ever reasons. One thing for sure, Ben Delgado is too old to handle Manny Pacquiao.

What i'm trying to drive at here is the way Manny Pacquiao decides for his career. He uses his head not his heart! He is gifted with that type of instinct. Even when choose a Manager, Much more during his fight in the ring. His impact to the crowd even during his early interview by the Media. The Instinct to win the heart of the people when he answers the question of the Media men. This was even developed little by little as he became more famous. It was the frequent interview by the Media that help developed Manny Pacquiao's confidence talking before a crowd.

This was even more intensified when he entered Politics, running for a Government Office as a Congressman in his Home Town. He failed on his first attempt. Just like his boxing career, he was knocked out during his early and mid career and yet became the Pound for Pound Best boxer in the World! A highly celebrated Stardum in his boxing career. The rug to riches story of Manny Pacquaio inspire a lot of people not only boxers but to all boxing fans in the entire World!

He opens new hope to those who just started their boxing career, not only in the Philippines, but in the whole world! Manny Pacquiao is a good Model to all who are involved in sports. Due to his instinct to succeed, His self discipline is built in, specially from the time he is on training and the time he fights in the ring.
