Manny Pacquiao is 25th on Kevin Iole’s List of Boxing’s Most Influential

Category: Boxing

Kevin Iole, one of the most respected and read sports writer for Yahoo Sports has released his choices for the 100 most influential persons in boxing history.

This is just one man’s list and according to Iole,

As I chose the list  – which contains boxers, promoters, managers, trainers, broadcasters, television executives, journalists, authors and politicians – strove to pick men whose unique characteristics or talents contributed to the sport.

With a notorious bias for Floyd Mayweather, Jr., you would think Pretty Boy would top his list. Well, not even close. Mayweather’s racist rant against his rival Manny Pacquiao surely made him turn 180 degrees.

Latest Yahoo! Pound-for-Pound Rankings Puts Floyd Mayweather, Jr. at #1

Category: Boxing

In it’s September 24 pound-for-pound rankings, Yahoo! places Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather, Jr. ahead of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.

Mayweather’s beating of Marquez was the main reason.

According to Kevin Lole,

Mayweather expertly walked Marquez into shots. He used his blazing speed to pop off combinations that had ended before Marquez had even begun to react. And he used his phenomenal reflexes and exceptional ring savvy to hold Marquez to a ridiculously low 12 percent connect rate.

That’s true but I can’t believe how one win over a smaller man after 20 months of inactivity can put Mayweather ahead of Pacquiao who has been beating men larger than him in the likes of David Diaz, Oscar dela Hoya and Ricky Hatton.

How I Reached the Top of the World Then Fell Down to Earth

Category: Personal

I have been blogging for almost two years now. My first motivation was really to share to others random thoughts culled from the deep recesses of my existence. But there came a point where I decided to monetize my blogs. Sa hirap ng buhay ngayon, kailangan may extra income. I buy and sell NBA trading cards online but I don’t make much as I’m also a collector and what I earned, I buy for my own collections.

So this February, I invested in a new domain and started making SEO posts. However, I still mixed it with posts of my personal stuffs like my wedding chronicles series and my action figures. After 5 months, I made my first Google Adsense $100. Then on August 9, Sunday, I made a total of $212.16 from Google Adsense, Infolinks and Chitika. Wooo! Ang saya-saya! Feeling ko, nasa top of the world ako!
