Now that the casket is about to be put down, and Michael Jackson’s worldly burdens are gone, it can be told.
The Michael Jackson songbook is filled with songs about Manny Pacquiao and people and situations related to the Pinoy Idol.
These two have had so many “Greatest Hits” that it’s hard to pick out a select few.
Let me break it down to specifics.
CHEATER—This goes out to loaded handwraps guy Antonio Margarito.
DIRTY DIANA—Name changed to avoid litigation but obviously a stung Pacman’s view of Dazzling Darlene who beat in the election in General Santos City.
WHO IS IT—The answer is Pacman, the question is who is the Pound For Pound King and the wrong answer is Floyd Mayweather Jr. Packy answered this with his demolitions of De La Hoya and Hatton.
GET ON THE FLOOR—Manny’s admonition to Ricky Hatton.
SHE’S OUT OF MY LIFE—Again, directed at Dazzling Darlene and her political powerhouse family as Manny moves to run for office in Sarangani.
WANT TO BE STARTIN’ SOMETHIN’—Pacman in overdrive seconds before the opening bell for the Hatton demolition.
GIVE INTO ME—Making Oscar quit like a fool on his stool.
WORKING DAY AND NIGHT—Spartan training regiment as imposed by Coach Freddie Roach.

BAD—As in Pacquiao was a bad man against Oscar and Hatton.
BLACK OR WHITE—Despite the silly charges from the Nate Campbell Not So 2 Live Crew, Pacquiao fights opponents of all skin colors and send them home black and blue.
JUST GOOD FRIENDS—Gossip mill rumors about Manny and Ara Mina or anyone else. As far as anyone knows, Pacquiao is devoted to lovely Jinkee and their children. The gossip comes with the territory.
ANOTHER PART OF ME—The vast improvement in his ring balance and the sharpening of his defense, both honed day after day at the Wild Card Gym with Professor Roach. But Roach would not be an effective professor if he did not have an apt pupil.
ROCK WITH YOU—What Pacquiao told overwhelmed but always game David Diaz when they fought.
MONEY—Dedicating this one to Uncle Bob Arum and to HBO.
THRILLER—Any Pacquiao bout should be given his aggression.
BEAT IT—What Pacquiao could tell Floyd Mayweather unless his purse demands come somewhere close to reality.
DON’T STOP TIL YOU GET ENOUGH—Also directed at washed out De La Hoya. He got enough and he stopped the fight and went into retirement.
SMOOTH CRIMINAL--Comment poster Bernie Vee and the imitators he has spawned down below in the Fifth Circle of Comment Hell.
I CAN'T HELP IT--Not from Manny this time but from me, what I say when I read yet another stupefying post by Puff Daddy Dumbledore. Did I finally get his name right?
While you ladies and germs are studying the Man In The Mirror, did I miss any MJ hits that are applicable to the life and times of Pacman?
Don't be shy.
