The King Of Sing: Pacquiao Duets With Will Ferrell On Kimmel -- The Sweet Science

By Michael Woods, The Sweet Science

The world's best fighter, a Congressman..AND blessed with vocal chords of gold.

Can Manny Pacquiao be any more blessed?

Viewers tuning in to "The Jimmy Kimmel Show" were treated to the dulcet tones of the seven division world champion Pacquiao showing his vocal chops, as he belted out John Lennon's "Imagine" on Monday night.

First, Pacquiao chatted with Kimmel, who drew guffaws when he showed a pic of Manny yawning enthusiastically during his first Congressional session. Manny giggled.

The fighter said he wasn't in session, because Congress is on break. He told viewers that he a fellow public servant introduced a bill to give Freddie Roach citizenship. Kimmel lobbied for the same, and Manny said "maybe."

Kimmel said Margarito would "hammer" Margarito, and labeled him a "cheater." Roach will watch the wrapping to make sure Margarito won't be pulling any funny business, Manny told Jimmy.

Manny showed his cologne, which Kimmel said "smells like a fist," and is called "MP 7." The manufacturer is working on number 8. (ASIDE TO THE MISSUS: This would make a fab stocking stuffer. I've always wanted to smell like Pacman.)

Manny said he feels strong and confident about the fight.

He then did what we all tuned in for, belt. Pacquiao sat next to funnyman Will Ferrell, and handled the second verse after Ferrell kicked it off. "Imagine there's no country/It isn't hard to do/Nothing to kill or die for/No religion too," sang the God fearing hitter. "Imagine all the people/Living life in peace...Ohhhohhhh," he sang, hitting the high note with precision.

They stared into each others' eyes, a la John and Yoko, and one could feel the love Lennon imagined. I do believe Manny has found himself a new signature song. Sorry, Dan Hill..
