Team effort
The full support of everyone around him

A number of factors contribute to Manny’s success and these are: Faith in God, the courage to overcome odds, and relentless training with his superb coach, Freddie Roach. Maybe the Almighty lets Manny win his fights to boost our morale. We forget about our problems when he fights, and when he wins, we feel the euphoria for weeks before we feel depressed again.
Fighting spirit and faith in God
Manny Pacquiao’s fighting spirit, his disciplined training, his speed and his strong faith in God are his weapons, so he always wins his fights. Basically love of work or profession as seen in his dedication to practice, his strict adherence to discipline, his respect for his mentors and his focus. But the most evident about Manny’s character is his love and respect for our God that makes him a winner. Apart from his innate talent, I think that it’s his discipline, energy, and will and determination to win. It’s also impressive that the more he’s considered an underdog, the more he pushes himself. The most admirable about him is that he never fails to pray before and after every bout and never forgets to acknowledge, give credit and give thanks to God for his victory. You can see how sincere he is when he prays in the ring, as if he’s talking to a loved one. It’s very admirable and humble of him.
Self-discipline and hard work
The biggest factor, at this point in time, is the discipline that makes him very focused on his preparation for every fight. An equally important factor is the way his .His determination, courage, discipline, faith in God and humility are traits that ensure his success.
His dedication to training
We have a saying in the army, “The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war.” This, I believe, is the key His preparation, focus, unmatched speed and most of all, his belief that in boxing, it’s better to give than to receive.
No pain, no gain! Here’s the key: He works hard first, then trusts God next, not the other way around.
Freddie Roach
It’s the intelligent coaching of Freddie Roach and Buboy Fernandez, without which Pacman would still be a second-rate amateur boxer. Without Freddie Roach, Pacquiao would not be what he is today. As we can see, Freddie honed his skills and concretized his taga-masa-ng-hollow-blocks-lakas that turned the Golden Boy into marshmallow and jelly. Freddie takes care of him like a baby, with TLC, but is also strict in his training and discipline. Without Freddie, there would be no Pacman. Believe me, Almighty Freddie is the key to the success of Manny. Freddie Roach could be the key to Manny Pacquiao’s success. Hard work, perseverance and discipline are important to a boxer but a good coach makes a lot of difference. A good trainer will find the best technique on how to counter height, weight and other advantages of an opponent. I disagree, though, with Mr. Que that a monument be built to immortalize Roach. We do that only for dead people. Robert Young Jr., San JuanManny is now the greatest Filipino boxer, no question about it. But he wouldn’t be where he is now without the smartness of Roach, his key to success. The key to Manny Pacquiao’s success is Manny Pacquiao. What are Manny’s attributes? First, as Freddie Roach said, no boxer with the skill, speed, and strength of Pacman has come by in a long time. In fact, Freddie said Manny is a “throwback” to a time when boxers did not cling and simply boxed until one dropped. Second, Manny does not only possess physical strength but spiritual strength as well. He is the only boxer who unabashedly and humbly prays to God before and after every fight. No wonder he is fearless inside the ring. Third, Pacman’s heart never fails him. His will to win is undoubted. And of course, Manny likewise enjoys the added blessings of a talented coach in Roach and a supportive wife and a grateful nation.
Humility and integrity
Humility in glorious victory and integrity in heartbreaking defeat is the secret of our Pambansang Kamao’s triumph in his notable career as the pound-for-pound king. Whenever he wins, he preserves his respect for his opponent and whenever he loses, he acknowledges his inadequacies. This is the true measure of a great fighter: Not the power of his mighty fist, but the magnitude of his gigantic heart. His being humble and God-fearing. He is a confident, disciplined and a determined man, but he is meek in triumph. It’s as if God is always His judge in the ring. He has a resolute character, and this serves as the foundation of his aspirations, upon which he turns his dreams become reality. Leisure sports, entertainment, cockfighting, civic activities already wallowing in wealth, he humbles himself before God. The secrets to Manny’s success are: Prayers, preparations, pagpakumbaba at pagkain ng mais!
His big heart
Manny’s big heart is the key. This is one fight where his intelligence was used. Manny Pacquiao’s key to success is his being gifted with a big fighting heart, an enduring body strength, amiable traits with pang-showbiz personality. His natural boxing skill and talent, his faith in God, and his determination to overcome odds. The key to Manny Pacquiao’s success is his being an indomitable fighter as well as his religiosity, humility and determination to achieve victory.
Prayers for Manny
Manny Pacquiao has Freddie Roach as trainer. He has the moral support of the Filipino people. And most of all, he believes in the power of prayer. Manny’s unwavering faith in God is his secret to success. But of course, we all know that God helps those who help themselves. So, it means he has to work on his body, too. I also believe that the prayer of supplication of Pacquiao’s mother helped him tremendously. Anyone who watched the “Rocky” movies must realize that Rocky Balboa, a.k.a. the Italian Stallion, was just a surreal interpretation of real-life boxers. Oscar dela Hoya, like Rocky 3, got lost in the world of multi-million dollar celebrity status while Pacman has the Filipino people praying for his success. Manny deserved it! Manny’s fate is a destiny written in his palm perhaps even before he was born to a woman named Dionisia. His mother, the passion in his big heart and indomitable spirit are all gifts and tools for a path masterplanned and blue-printed up there. Manny is simply a chosen one used by God to serve a purpose.
His humble beginnings
Early in life, he had to fend for himself and fend off the realities of life’s harsh environment. Without a father to depend on after Grade 6, the streets welcomed him as his training ground. Literally, he boxed off poverty and went on to make money for himself in the boxing world. Pure talent, dedication and intense focus coupled with a very high sense of spirituality, plus having a world-class trainer these are keys to Manny’s success.
Team effort
Clearly, it was Team Pacquiao’s collective effort, yet it was largely because of Manny’s inherent skill. Pacquiao’s determination, Roach’s expertise, Fernandez’s scientific analysis and his team’s contribution of their expertise. It was a team effort. His winning team is one of the keys to Manny Pacquiao’s success. The team I’m referring to includes the widely known promoter Bob Arum, trainer-coach Freddie Roach, bosom buddy and local trainer Buboy Fernandez, down to his battery of masseurs. But still, the deciding key factor, to my belief, is the People’s Champ’s unwavering belief and trust in our Lord Almighty, conceding the fact that all his much-needed power and strength have emanated from Him through the years. Preparedness is the key. Being the underdog made him strive to train more and TKO the llamado Dela Hoya. Also, Trainer Roach, Team Pacquiao, his family and countrymen’s prayers are key factors. I and my family also prayed for his stunning victory. Again, our congratulations to a great boxer.
The full support of everyone around him
Manny’s faith in the Lord is his key to success. The women on his side his mother and his wife are a plus factor. Manny is disciplined; he has a positive outlook, the right coach, full family support and the support of Pinoys worldwide. Plenty: He has the will to win. He is a brilliant fighter, yes, and he has the right people by his side (except for the politicians) that guide him through thick and thin. He is lucky to have Roach with him. He also has a wife who has loved him even before he became what he is today. He is a role model to our kababayans.
We must emulate him
It’s his determination, discipline, belief in God and hard work. We must emulate these qualities for us to triumph as individuals and as a nation.
