    Another former heavyweight champion has expressed his admiration for Filipino boxing legend Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.

    In an interview with 8countnews.com, 4-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield said Pacquiao is one of the greatest boxers of all time.

    "He is," Holyfield confirmed. "For a smaller guy to come all the way up in weight, and beat bigger guys up to 154 pounds, it says a lot."

    Pacquiao is the first boxer in history to win world titles in 8 different weight classes.

    Holyfield said he admires the pound-for-pound king for his tireless work ethic.

    "He works hard in the gym, and that is what pays dividends in the ring," Holyfield said. "He gets in the ring and he takes care of business."
