I was about to say something about how Brad Pitt is always behind George Clooney which I’m sure the two laugh at all the time when I saw my fellow Filipino Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao’s name on the list. I am so happy for that guy. The “pound for pound” boxing champ sure deserves to be on any of Men’s list in my opinion.

Where’s Paul Hughes on this list? Shame!
What does it say about the current state of manhood when a fictional character occupies the number one position? We are all screwed…all of us!
That’s why I care more for my Fellow Filipino Pound for Pound boxing champ Manny Pacquiao making it into the list
.
If he can kick #26’s ass, I am a big fan too.
