 Manny Pacquiao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emmanuel "Manny" D. Pacquiao (born December 17, 1978), aka "Pacman" and "The Destroyer" is the reigning WBC International Super Featherweight Champion (2005–present), former RING People's Featherweight Champion (2003 to 2005), former IBF Super Bantamweight Champion (2001 to 2004), and former WBC Flyweight Champion (1998 to 1999).
Pacquiao's performance established himself, according to many critics, fans and boxing magazines alike, as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, and put the Philippines on the boxing world's map again where he follows in the footsteps of past Filipino boxing stars such as "Flash Elorde", Ben Villaflor, and Pancho Villa, among others.
Pacquiao once again jumped in weight, this time to the Super Featherwight division and squared off against former three-time division champion Erik Morales on 19th of March, 2005.

 :: Welcome to Manila Bulletin Online ::
Collins, who was in Manila almost a year ago to award the Ring belt to Pacquiao in the presence of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo at Malacañang, added: "Pacquiao’s featherweight belt will not be on the line against Morales as they are fighting at super-featherweight.
The Filipino is guaranteed a purse of $1.75 million in his debut at 130 lbs after fighting three times as a 126-pounder, including an 11th round destruction of Marco Antonio Barrera in late 2003, who had beaten Morales to take the World Boxing Council (WBC) crown.
Pacquiao is a slight favorite to get past Morales, who has won world titles in the super-bantam and featherweight categories aside from his brief tenure as super-feather ruler.

 Amateur and Professional Boxing Weight Classes   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Weight divisions, also called classes, exist in boxing so that competitors can be evenly matched in size.
This came about because the World Boxing Council (WBC) uses the "Super" tag with the name of the division below, while the World Boxing Association (WBA), International Boxing Federation (IBF), and World Boxing Organization (WBO) boxing organizations use the "Junior" tag, associating it with the division above.
This means, for example, that the divisions called Featherweight, Super Featherweight, and Lightweight by the WBC, are called Featherweight, Junior Lightweight, and Lightweight, by the other organizations.
