Having formally dipped his fists into the presidential derby, Sen. Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao has been left with no other option but to place his gloves in the dustbin. The loss to Cuban Yordenis Ugas in his last fight also showed that Pacquiao is no longer the same fighter. In the boxing ring, he went from "great" to "immortal." A year later, in May 2015, Pacquiao took on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the richest fight in boxing history. Thank you, Manny, for allowing us to be living witnesses to one unforgettable journey.
