Yesterday, when im in my way home riding in a taxi. We had a little conversation with the driver and he told me about the secret of Pacquiao's power and strength. He insisted that using such a "amulet" of Pacquiao was the big factor why Pacquiao became so tough inside the ring. How about you? what do you think Could it possible to a boxer without hard training can be tough inside the ring.. just because of 'amulet"? well, i guess the only charm that Pacquiao has was his rosary with him. He always wears it eveytime he has a fight.

He's in the Phillipines and being superstitious is in his blood. That's he hates drawing blood because of that belief and people can't accept that fact and misunderstood him to the max! For me, his "amulet" is his love for God, Country, Family, and the most important of all the sport called "BOXING"

everybody are entitle to their own opinion. as for Manny, it is very rare for a fighter to have what Manny has. His body can easily adjust on the training that he does, it was just fortunate that team Pacquaio has a good trainer and conditioning coach that maximize Manny's power and stamina.
There are no such thing as amulet anyway.

It's both hardwork and faith. Pacquiao goes into the ring with his weapons to beat his opponents - speed, strength, and willpower. I believe those factors are the things that made him the pound-for-pound king of the ring.

what the h*ll? an amulet? are you crazy? how old are you? you believe in such things? wake up dude. well that was just a superstition of a hallucinating taxi driver. no offense but no such thing exists. if ever does exists, then every boxer or athlete in the world would go for such an amulet in order to gain such power. got it? :D..no offense again..just stating my own opinion. this is not illegal is it?

The success of Pacquiao is based on pure hardwork and dedication. The "amulet" is just one thing that gives him the confidence on facing the odds in the fight. We all know that we, filipinos, believed in "amulet" but it is an object that really helps us to believe. We do not focused only in the amulet, rather, we are just believing that we can do it.

I don't believe in that "amulet". Pacquiao works so hard when he's training and I think that's the only reason why he's tough in the ring. And generally, I mean in every things not just boxing I don't believe on amulets or "agimat" in our own language.
