Manny Pacquiao (a.k.a. Pac-man)

Sorry for the long silence.I haven't been sleeping .... just pretty busy thinking about lots of other things. Here's something for you to think about.

Manny Pacquiao
(a.k.a. Pac-man). Small man punching above his weight and reach to victory against Ricky Hatton.

Much as I don't really like boxing as a sport because of the physical violence, when you watch a great boxer at his craft, it's really poetry in motion. Yes, there is beauty, even in violence.


But the real reason why I am posting about this here is to point this out as a dramatic example of human diversity. If you haven't watched the video, do try and watch it somewhere where it hasn't been taken down yet. :) Watch the man's hands. Literally fast as lightning. Hatton didn't have a chance.


Makes you wonder about what makes the muscles move so fast for this man.
