Dmitry Bivol Explains Why Manny Pacquiao Earned His Respect: “He’s Different”
Unified light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol has built his reputation on discipline, professionalism, and respect—qualities he says he sees in boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
While discussing the fighters he admires most, Bivol singled out the former eight-division world champion for reasons that extend far beyond his accomplishments inside the ring.
According to Bivol, Pacquiao's humility and commitment to helping others are what truly set him apart from many of boxing's biggest stars.
“Why do I like Pacquiao? I like his personality, his character, he is humble, he supports a lot of people. I like his behavior,” Bivol said.
Pacquiao's achievements in the sport are unmatched, but Bivol believes the Filipino icon's legacy is defined just as much by his character outside the ropes. Throughout his career, Pacquiao has been widely recognized for his charitable work, public service, and willingness to give back to communities in need.
For Bivol, those qualities make Pacquiao more than just a boxing great—they make him a role model.
The praise comes from one of the most respected champions of the current era. Known for his technical brilliance and composed demeanor, Bivol has consistently shown admiration for fighters who combine elite talent with humility and professionalism.
As boxing continues to search for its next generation of icons, Bivol's comments serve as a reminder that greatness isn't measured solely by titles and victories. In his eyes, Pacquiao's impact on people outside the ring is just as important as the history he made inside it.

4 legendary Italian boxers right up there with the greatest boxers in history.
Rocky Marciano - Rocky Graziano - Jake Lamotta - Carmen Basilio

Rocky Marciano entered the ring as the smaller man, got dropped for the first time in his career, lost most of the fight on points… and still left as heavyweight champion of the world.
For twelve rounds, Jersey Joe Walcott outboxed him with experience and precision. But Marciano never stopped coming forward.
Then, in the 13th round, came the “Suzie Q.”
One right hand. One second. Fight over.
Walcott never saw it coming. Rocky never needed a second chance.

It's time for a difficult decision: no debates, no ties. Consider the following legendary boxers: Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Floyd Mayweather, Oleksandr Usyk, Manny Pacquiao.
One must be eliminated forever; who will it be?

Mayweather returns to the ring on June 27 to face 18-time world kickboxing champion Mike Zambidis in Greece.
At 49 years old, one of the greatest boxers in history will put on the gloves again in an exhibition fight.
The American is looking to get in pace with this fight, which will take place in less than 28 days, to then go all in for a rematch against Manny Pacquiao at the end of the year.
Now that would be a fight to count for his pro record.
