'''Trainer:''' [[Freddie Roach]] (2001 - present) 
'''Manager:''' [[Shelly Finkel]] 
'''[[:Category:Manny Pacquiao Gallery|Manny Pacquiao Gallery]]
 

'''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as "Pac Man," began his career in 1995, at age 16. He won his first couple of fights, before bumping into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Rustico Torrecampo|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao. Pacquiao went forward with his career, before fighting [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] for the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. A few fights later in December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The bout was very even, the champion being elusive and a good counter puncher. Pacquiao won by KO in round eight, after which Sasakul did not get up for a few minutes. Pacquiao's next noteworthy assignment came when he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|122 lb title]]. Pacquiao came as a late sub on a few weeks notice and dominated the fight, [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocking out the champ in six rounds]]. Pacquiao made a string of IBF title defenses before moving up in weight and fighting [[Marco Antonio Barrera]]. Pacquiao boxed well and his southpaw style seemed to be troubling Barrera. Pacquiao knocked down Barrera three times in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|this fight]]. Next Pacquiao fought [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round. However, Marquez did come back to win many of the latter rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Pacquiao was then signed for a match with [[Erik Morales]], at 130 pounds after a rematch with Marquez never materialized, because of Marquez demanding far too much money. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won a slim [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|decision]] against Pacquiao, winning on all three judges scorecards by scores of 115-113.

He came back from the Morales defeat to [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Hector Velazquez|knockout]] [[Hector Velazquez]] in six rounds. In January 2006, Pacquiao scored one of the biggest victories of his career, when he stopped Erik Morales in the 10th round of their [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|rematch]], the first stoppage loss of Morales career.

Pacquiao is extraordinarily popular in the Philippines, where he is currently the most popular athlete in his country. Pacquiao has branched into acting in Filipino movies and various business ventures as well, including a number of commercial endorsements, seen almost everyday on local TV. Pacquiao carried his country's flag at the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic games.

==Regional & Minor Titles==
*[[OPBF]] flyweight Champion (1997-98)
*[[WBC]] International super bantamweight Champion (1999-01)
*[[WBC]] International super featherweight Champion (2005-Nov 2007)
*[[IBO]] Jr.Welterweight Champion (2009-2010)

==World Titles==
*WBC flyweight champion (1997-98, lost title when he failed to make weight for title bout)
*IBF super bantamweight champion (2001-03, vacated to fight at featherweight)
*WBC Super Featherweight champion
*WBC Lightweight champion
*WBO Welterweight champion
*WBC Light middleweight champion
==Other Title Claims==
Pacquiao was recognized as champion at featherweight by ''[[The Ring Magazine|The Ring]]'' magazine. The website, Cyber Boxing Zone, also recognizes this claim. Pacquiao vacated his featherweight claim, after his loss to Erik Morales, expressing a desire to continue fighting at 130 pounds. Pacquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton on May 2, 2009, to win the lineal (as recognized by the Cyber Boxing Zone), [[The Ring Magazine|The Ring]], and [[IBO]] junior welterweight titles.

*2006, 2008 & 2009 [[Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year]]

On the boxing record page, there is a BIG error in fact noted about Ali's change of name after the first Sonny Liston bout. Ali first announced his name changed as Cassius X, not Muhammad X. A couple of weeks later, he announced to the world that he'd "now forever be known as Muhammad Ali -- Muhammad means worthy of praise and Ali mean most high," the champ said to a band of boxingscribes. This information is easily found in umpteen bios and autobios of the GOAT. One can go to "The Muhammad Ali Story" at Youtube and hear Ali said that in video footage of that time.

At the end of his boxing career in early 1970s and after it into the 1980s, '''Clarence Boone''' became one of the most successful coaches/trainers in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) area. He coached at the Northeast Moose Boxing Club in Halton City, located outside the city limits of Fort Worth. Along with chief coach/trainer, Don Leemaster, Boone trained, taught and corrected flaws and bad habits of numerous U.S. national top-ranked boxers originating from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Many of these Boone-trained boxers won titles in the Junior Olympics, Silver Gloves, Fort Worth, El Paso, Houston, San Antonio, Austin and State (Arizona, New Mexico, California, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas) Golden Gloves, AAU, U.S. Armed Forces, Collegiate, Western Olympic Trials and international competition. His most prestigious protege is former [[WBC]] lightwelterweight world champion [[Bruce Curry]]. Curry lost to [[Sugar Ray Leonard]] in the finals of the 1976 U.S. Olympic Trials. In the 1960s, Boone was the "first black man to (work) and sit in the corners of a white boxer at the (Fort Worth) Golden Gloves, according to LeMaster.

Born on April 17, 1932, in Marshall, Texas, Boone died in Fort Worth, Texas, on Nov. 2, 2010.

'''Morris East's''' [[Akinobu Hiranaka vs. Morris East|11th round knockout]] victory over [[Akinobu Hiranaka]] was named [[Ring Magazine Knockout of the Year]] for 1992. At 19 years old, East was the second youngest person to win a world light welterweight belt. [[Wilfred Benitez]] was the youngest at 17 years old.

East, born of a Filipina and black American U.S. Navy sailor, didn't meet his father until East became a world champion. Always wondering about his father, East traveled from the Philippines to the United States a month after winning his [[WBA]] belt in Tokyo.

A CNN Headline News reporting team located East's father living in a rundown, roach-and-rat-infested motel in Oakland, California. East's emotional meeting with his father was broadcast around the world. Father and son had not ever met before East was born because: "In those days (1973 Vietnam-War era) when the Navy says to ship out, that what you had to do," said East's father, Morris East Sr. He claimed to have always wondered about East and his mother. But lost contact with the mother and son after being adversly discharged from the Navy when the ship he was assigned to returned to its U.S. Naval port.

East improved his father's living condition. But the father, suffering from bad health, died of a massive heart attack a few months later.

In East's post-boxing life, he resides in Manila, Philippines, where he is a wealthy entrepreneur, boxing manager and trainer. He also train boxers in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he is assisting ex-light-heavy world champion and now popular trainer, [[Eddie Mustafa Muhammad]] in the training of many top-ranked boxers, including Chad Dawson.

As an amateur boxer, out of McKinney, Texas, '''James "The Heat" Kinchen''' was a three-time Golden Gloves and three-time Southwestern AAU boxing champion. He made it to the quarterfinals twice and the semi-finals once in the National AAU. His amateur record was 127-12. As a pro boxer Kinchen won the California and the United States Boxing Association middleweight titles. He also held the North American Boxing Federation Super Middleweight belt. To many boxing authorities, Kinchen should have been the WBO inaugural Super Middleweight champion. He lost a close, controversial majority decision to [[Thomas Hearns]]. Kinchen is the older brother of fellow professional boxer [[Robert Kinchen|Robert "Lil Heat" Kinchen.]] In his post boxing career, Kinchen is now saving souls, instead of knocking them out. He is a pastor at the Helping Hands Baptist Church, located in Encanto -- a low-income, crime-ridden, urban area of southeast San Diego, Ca.

Ron Adams

2010-06-25T23:16:09Z

Radam ghafahni:

<boxer>359715</boxer>
There is high suspicion of who this person actually is. A 1978 Senate Investigation Team from the Office of Texas Senator Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. proved that he was not a standout amateur boxer known as Ronny Adams or Ronnie Adams, aka Rondiasadola Adamez. The Texas Labor Board and Boxing Commission couldn't verify ever issuing a boxing license in 1976 to a person named Ron Adams, Ronny Adams or Ronnie Adams, and concluded to investigators that the person was possibly a fake (an impersonator). On a September 1976 Houston card -- that is now buried in the deep cover of history -- this alleged Adams knocked out an in-his-prime (former [[WBA]]/[[WBC]] light-middleweight champion) [[Oscar Albarado]] in the first round. (Verification of this bout can be found in archives of a Houston newspaper and in an issue of the Ring Magazine [either December of 1976 or January of 1977]. Information about this alleged boxer and his bouts, including with Albarado, can also be found in the 1977's January, February and March issues of the Boxing Illustrated Magazine.)

In a major boxing scandal of the 1970s, an ABC (television) Boxing Tournament of famed promoter Don King was suspended because many of the participants had inflated records with alleged professional wins over boxers who were still amateurs or who never existed or who had demised. A couple of King's boxers had alleged wins over this alleged professional boxer when he would have been as young as 12 years and 10 months old. Another one had an alleged win over this alleged pro while the alleged real Adams was representing the United States in an international tourney in Taiwan. One of King's boxers had allegedly knock this alleged pro out in Little Rock, Ark., while the alleged real Adams was winning the 1977 All Navy Boxing Championship in San Diego, Ca.

In 2010, after 33 plus years, some records were discovered that the [[Oscar Albarado]], who the alleged Ronnie Adams fought, was indeed probably a boxer known as Oscar Balderas. Boxing has often been called "the threatre of the unexpected." and a sport which is "seedy and is stranger than fiction."

It is such a double standard that one cannot write that this boxer's most notable fight was cutting [[Floyd Mayweather Jr]] over the eye. Wow! It juvenile to not to allow the truths about any boxer, trainer, promoter or organization.

What is your proof of this? And how can you be certain that this fact is true? The argument may be logical fallacy as the premise may be true only because it can't be proven false.--[[User:Matt|Matt]] 23:18, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

For one thing, boxrec has the cut information of that bout with Mayweather listed. Secondly, tons of people have the telecast of that bout. This bout with Sanders was telecasted on nation television. Thirdly, those are tons of stories of Mayweather Sr calling his brother Rogers and warning him never to match his son against a southpaw as long as he (Mayweather Sr) was in prison. One can google every bit of this information.

Matter of fact, Teddy Atlas of ESPN, which telecasted this bout, has mentioned "Mayweather was cut early in his career by Reggie Sander and has some scar tissue over that eye." And like I've posted, boxrec clearly states on its results page that Floyd Mayweather Jr suffer a cut.

Radam ghafahni:

I've gotten slammed and mocked for writing very factual information about certain boxers on this site, and various truths that I'd write would get deleted. WOW! Are certain boxers protected, and are able to fib and exaggerate information about their careers -- amateur and/or professional -- and post poppycock? Sadam Ali is not the only boxer in New York, from New York or the first from New York to win consecutive National Golden Gloves titles in different weight classes. As I told one of his supporters, who was spreading that fib on another boxing site, In 2004, New Yorker Daniel Jacobs was a National Golden Gloves champion at welterweight. The next year, in 2005, he became the National Golden Gloves champion in the next weight up (165lbs), thus winning two consecutive National Golden Gloves titles in different weight divisions. In the '''Career Section''' or Ali's bio, his supporters insist on giving Ali credit for something that he was not the only one in New York or the first one in New York to do it. I know that Boxrec says info may be incorrect, but Boxrec should not intentionally follow along with lying and jabberwocky. Telling the truth and the whole truth should be the agenda, goal and policy.
