Manny Pacquiao inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, says ‘the best is still to come'
A champion once again, Manny Pacquiao has joined boxing's most legendary figures It was a moment that had been years in the making, fought for in boxing rings, won under the blinding lights of Las Vegas and sealed, at last, in upstate New York. Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao has officially joined the ranks of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, enshrined this week alongside other legends of the sport. At 46, Pacquiao becomes the latest (and perhaps most storied) Filipino to receive the honour, joining fellow countrymen Pancho Villa, Gabriel ' Flash ' Elorde and promoter Lope Sarreal in boxing's most exclusive pantheon. For a man who once sold doughnuts on the streets of General Santos, barefoot and hungry, the moment was as much personal as it was national. 'From the streets of General Santos, to the bright lights of Las Vegas, to tonight at the International Boxing Hall of Fame,' Pacquiao wrote in a Facebook post. 'No shoes, no food, no chance, just a dream in my heart.'
