Quick! Who was the last man to defeat Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao inside the boxing ring?
Yes it’s Mexican legend Erik “El Terrible” Morales.
On March 19, 2005, Morales mustered a tactical fight with Pacquiao for 12 rounds winning via Unanimous Decision. In mockery of the current pound for pound king and WBO welterweight champion, he even brawled and turned into a southpaw stance with Pacquiao in the final round even though he is comfortably ahead on the scorecards. In the end, the Filipino was a sorry sight with blood trickling from above his right eye.
But that was a long time ago. In their next two bouts, Pacquiao exacted his revenge winning via 10th round TKO on January 22, 2006 and 3rd round TKO on November 18, 2006. Morales has since retired after suffering defeat from the hands of David Diaz on August 4, 2007 and failing to become the first Mexican boxer to win a fourth world title in four weight divisions.

Josh Smith is widely considered as one of the most athletic NBA players today.
Possessing a vertical leap of 40 inches, he is one of the best shot blockers in history even though he is only 6’9″. In fact, on February 2, 2010 against the Oklahoma City Thunders, Smith became the youngest and fastest player (at 24 years old) to block 1,000 shots.
He can also jump high in the air to make slam dunks with the best of them as proven with him being crowned the 2005 NBA Slam Dunk champion.
However, his athleticism was best put into use during a game against the Orlando Magic today.

Anne Curtis is one of TV network ABS-CBN’s most bankable stars.
Aside from being a good actress herself, she is one of the prettiest in Philippine showbizlandia (err, did I just use that term?)
Her sexy-almost-perfect figure endeared her to Pinoy male fans so much so that when news broke out that a picture of her nipple slip is circulating all over the internet, people are in a mad scramble to see that.

In a game against the Golden State Warriors last March 23, Amare Stoudemire threw down a monster one-handed in your face dunk against Anthony Tolliver.
Stoudemire took a pass from team mate Jason Richardson and made the NBA’s dunk of the year. Heck, it might even contend for dunk of the decade. I think this one is better than the one he gave Michael Olowokandi last December 20, 2002.
Even the broadcast commentators were awestrucked by the dunk as they uttered:
