内容説明
Manny Pacquiao, 31, was recently named Fighter of the Decade” by the Boxing Writers’ Association and is the only fighter ever to capture seven championship belts in seven different weight classes. But few could have imagined that Pacquiao would have ever reached the pinnacle of his sport, considering his background. He ran away from homea cardboard shack in General Santos City in the Philippinesat age fourteen. After making his way to Manila, and eventually the United States, Pacquiao hooked up with trainer Freddie Roach in 2001, and, from there, his fighting career took off.
Named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World” last year, the aptly nicknamed Pac-Man is a fascinating figure who will go down as one of the greatest boxers in history.

This book and Pacquiao's autobiography came out around the same time. I ordered this one first because I thought that a Time correspondent like Mr. Poole would be a better writer than Pacquiao himself. I was wrong. This book is somewhat entertaining but I enjoyed the autobiography more. This book seems rushed. I can cite 3 inaccuracies: First, he stated that Pacquiao picture is in Philippine Peso currency. This is wrong and it was lazy for Mr. Poole not to have researched this. Second, he stated that Pacquiao won the OPBF title at the age of 20 - wrong again. Pacquiao was a teenage world champion (won WBC flyweight title at 19 y/o) and one of the youngest Philippine Boxing Champions. Third, mistook Manny Villar for Chavit Singson (This was probably from the 24/7 series that he had watched.)

The story of Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao is simply a tremendous one.
He was born into absolute poverty in the slums of Manila and left school at the age of 10. Through his great skill in fighting, he was able to rise above the poverty and reach the USA with a respectable professional boxing record.
This is where one of the most unique relationships in boxing history took place when he met the famed trainer Freddie Roach. Roach took PacMan from being a left-handed KO artist with limited all-round skills to being maybe the most feared pound for pound fighter today and possibly ever.
This book gives us a fairly comprehensive look at the great man and allows us to witness what he went through. What a life he has led and continues to lead.
Acknowledging that PacMan's career is far from over, we are treated to his life story up until the preparations for the fight with Antonio Margarito.
A good book for the boxing library.
