Manny Likened to Muhammad Ali
Boxing Promoter "Top Rank" Arum likened Pacquiao’s unprecedented fame after beating De La Hoya to that of heavyweight legend Muhammad Ali.
“Ali, remember, was so tied up with politics, with the Vietnam war, so you can’t really equate Manny with Ali,” he explained. “But as a fighter, as a pure fighter, he’s the most popular, the most manic that I’ve ever seen.”
Arum noted that Pacquiao had even landed recently on Time magazine’s list of the world’s most influential persons, which included US President Barack Obama.
