    Default Bible and Boxing Doesn't Mix; Agree or Disagree?

    And i think that will lead to the eventual downfall of a Prime Pacquiao.
    Bible is oil as Boxing is to Water, there's no going around it.

    Do you think we will ever see a prime Manny again?

    from what I remember George Foreman was already an ordained Baptist minister when he made a succesfull return to the ring after 10 years of being retired and he actually regained the Heavyweight Championship by knocking out Michael Moorer in November 1994 to become the oldest Heavyweight Champion in history. When he finally hang-up his gloves in 1997 at the age of 48, with a final record of 76–5, including 68 knockouts he was still a Championship Contender until his last bout which was a points loss to Shannon Briggs in a 1997 "eliminator bout" for the right to face WBC champion Lennox Lewis.

    Like Pacquiao, from just being a Fighter ..... Foreman became a Champion Boxer wants to Win but who has a heart and cares for the welfare and condition of his opponents.

    It is not like Pacquiao only recently picked up the Bible. Always strong in the faith, even going back to the days when he started out figting in Manila. I think he was a frequent visitor to the Black Nazarene.
