The widely popular boxer, Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao, hasn’t been training to his utmost abilities recently. Pacquiao’s long time trainer, Freddie Roach, suggests that Manny will pick up soon, but others believe the Filipino boxer and new congressman, is doing to much and not 100 percent focused on his upcoming fight with tough Mexican fighter Antonio Margarito at Dallas Cowboys stadium on November 13.
Reports out of Manila say that Pacquiao has been skipping his morning runs and playing pick up games of basketball with buddies in the evening instead. Pacquiao also seems more focused on his political duties, like meeting with the Philippines President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and participating in a run to help support the Pasig river.
Early in camp, Manny has already complained of a hurt foot and some sinus problems that prevented him from training and he took a couple days off.
His opponent Antonio Margarito seems to be more focused and in a higher point in training. Margarito will be the bigger and stronger man in the ring and as of right now the more focused and determined fighter, unless, Pacquiao can get his act together and step up his training.
