For pushing himself to the limit, PacMan is the greatest

He tested his limits by taking up professional boxing at an early age. He worked hard. He dreamed. He succeeded.

At 17, after racking up successive wins in the ring, he challenged a bigger foe in Rustico Torrecampo. Overconfident and reckless, he lost to by knockout. It was his first loss.

He learned his lessons from that debacle. He racked another string of explosives wins ever seen in boxing, not only in the Philippines but also in the United States.

Twelve years later and after being hailed as the world's greatest boxer pound-for-pound, the PacMan tests his limits again. He fights Oscar de la Hoya on December 6, 2008 at Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Most people consider this fight as a mismatch in Oscar's favor.

The Pacman believes he has a chance against the 10-time world champion and the biggest draw in professional boxing ever. For dreaming the way he does, Pacman has become a winner even before fighting his biggest fight come December 6.
