HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. (November 22, 2012) -- Fighter of the Decade and boxing's No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter and box office attraction Congressman MANNY "PacMan" PACQUIAO (@MannyPacquiao) took time from training for his upcoming rumble with three-division world champion Juan Manuel Márquez (@JMMarquez_1) to make another boffo appearance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!
