Manny Pacquiao: The global icon enters immortality

Manny Pacquiao, commonly considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, enters IBHOF in its first year of qualification. With a professional career in 1995–2021, Pacquiao gathered a record 62-8-2, including 39 knockouts, and won the world titles in eight weight divisions-from flying weight after the weight of Super Welter weighing. His victories over the Hall of Famers, such as Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto and Oscar de la Hoya, strengthened his heritage as a pound for pounds of titan. The stimulating Pacquiao style, marked by a blad of speed and a relentless work indicator, made him a global sensation and national hero in the Philippines.

“I am very joyful that I was chosen to enter the International Gallery of Sław.

Pacquiao induction is not a surprise, and voters like Mike Coppinger from ESPN call him the “Slam-Dunk” candidate. His trainer, Freddie Roach, Sam Ibhof InDuCtee 2012, compared Pacquiao to Muhammad Ali, saying: “I opened my gym, a wild card boxing club, hoping that the next Muhammad Ali would pass through the door. I knew little that in 2001, my mhammad Ali would consider 122 pounds.”

Randy Gordon: The Voice of Boxing Honored

Randy Gordon, a multi -faceted figure in boxing, is introduced to the category of observers for the decades of the contribution as a journalist, sender and former Commissioner for Sporting of the State of Up-to-date York.

His career also includes the survival of the editor -in -chief of the magazine, in which he helped to shape boxing journalism and as a radio host of Siriusxm, in which his story enlivened the history of this sport.

After receiving the call to Hala Gordon, he expressed disbelief and joy: “I have many great telephone calls during my career – from Bert Sugar to become the editor of the governor to become Up-to-date York Commissioner. But this is the biggest business conversation in boxing in all my life. Is this true?”
