Manny Pacquiao has two achievements that are even greater than anything he managed to accomplish in boxing.
In his exceptional career, the Filipino hero carved out a remarkable legacy, proving himself to be one of the most entertaining fighters to have ever laced up the gloves.
Pacquiao savagely stopped Miguel Cotto and finished Oscar De La Hoya, in a sparkling run, which saw him conquer eight weight categories.
But this all pales in comparison to what really matters to the boxer.
WOW: Would Manny Pacquiao have beaten Floyd Mayweather before his loss to Juan Manuel Marquez?

He captioned the image: “The greatest titles I’ve ever held are husband and father. Thank You Lord for the gift of family. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads. God bless you all.”

With his prime very much in the rearview mirror, some worry that this is a challenge the brawler may not overcome.
However, one icon is backing Pacquiao to beat Barrios.
