Pacquiao: “Twenty years from now,… I want my name to be at the top level of boxing history”

December 3, 2008

Precisely why Team Pacquiao believes a victory will be a turning point for the feisty southpaw who is a national hero in his native Philippines.

“Twenty years from now, 30, 40 years, I want my name to be at the top level of boxing history,” Pacquiao says. “That’s why it’s really important for me to win this fight. It’s the biggest fight of my career..

“The point of this fight is to DO SOMETHING that people will never forget.”

Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s longtime trainer, says a victory “would elevate Manny to superstar status. He’s not quite there yet. This is definitely a turning point.”
