Seven-division champion, Manny Pacquiao, has done it again.
The Filipino superstar graces the June cover The Ring Magazine once more.
Editors at the prestigious publication believe that Pacquiao has been on its cover "between 12-to-15 times," said Joe Santoliquito, managing editor of Ring Magazine.
"But Manny's easily been on the cover more than any fighter the last five years," said Santoliquito, "rivaled only by Floyd Mayweather."
Coming off of last month's 12-round unanimous decision over Joshua Clottey, Pacquiao has won 12, consecutive bouts, eight of them by knockout, and is the defending WBO welterweight (147 pounds) titlist.
The photo was shot by Howard Schatz, who is also executing similar work with the fighters in Showtime's Super Six Super Middleweight (168 pounds) World Boxing Classic.
"World-renowned photographer, Howard Schatz, took this photo of Pacquiao, and it's simply one of the most artistic covers on the long, storied history of The Ring," said Santoliquito.
"Schatz is currently working on a photography book about boxing that promises to be riveting," said Santoliquito, "just like the June 2010 issue of The Ring."
