Sin City, NV :- Thursday afternoon, as I watch Filipino ring idol, Manny Pacquiao go through the routine gym exercise and a four round mitt session with his friend and trainer, Freddie Roach. I can?t help but marvel at the physical condition he was molded to be for Saturday?s ?big? fight at the MGM Grand Arena.
Pacquiao after several weeks of hard work running up the Griffith Park in Hollywood as well as along Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles from his home at the Hancock Park to the flat lands that make up the Pan Pacific Park, has turned out to be a magnificent human specimen.
After his short gym work, Pacquiao posed for the very eager media and fans that gathered at the Top Rank Gym to show off his form, particularly his well sculptured six pack in the abdominal area.
Needless to say, after the workout he pronounced himself ready for Floyd Mayweather Jr.

What was more readily apparent though was his well form glastrocnemius (calf) muscle, the true origin of all the power that allows him to move around like a well seasoned ballet dancer and the leverage to deliver his killer left hook and right straight.
After seeing him again after several weeks, I am truly convinced that no matter where Mayweather will run, Pacquiao will have enough ?legs? to chase him down and ultimately land a haymaker that will transform Mayweather?s well protected boxing record to 47-1-0-26KO.
