THE BOXER
MANNY PACQUIAO
Age: 30
Country: Philippines
Career: Light-Welterweight Fighter
He's only 5'6", but this Pac-Man packs a ton of power. "It comes from his speed and his legs," says longtime trainer Freddie Roach. "His legs are so strong, and his explosive speed is a God-given talent. With those two working together, he's almost unstoppable." To prep for fights, Pacquiao, winner of four titles in four divisions, works out for two weeks before training with Roach in California. Then for two months, he'll run in the mornings, do 1,000 situps, shadowbox, jump rope, punch the heavy bag, and spar in the afternoons for four rounds, building up to 12 as the fight nears. Roach says Manny's unparalleled discipline gives him the edge. "He's a machine," he says. "I tell him to take Sundays off, and he says, 'No, I have to run.' I ask why, and he says, 'Because my opponent might be.'"

It is interesting that Manny is declared fit for just looking like one. He actually proved inside the ring that he is actually one.
