    lol, now that is comedy.
    im lucky some misfit and his ******ed sidekick even spoke to me? for someone so insignificant, you sure do have a high opinion of yourself.
    listen ******, you saying something does not make it so. just because your feeble brain thinks it owned anybody, it does not make it so. lets see these mythical threads. put up or shut up.
    and stop pretending youre a teacher. if youre a teacher, you should be brought up on charges you ignorant clown.

    Not at all. I say bring on more flips if they are great fighters. Diversity is cool as long as they bring some excitement to the sport. I'm a PAC-MAN-FAN

    boxbox,

    well what took the philippines so long to have a #1 p4p fighter? mexico had julio cesar chavez sr. and oscar de la hoya (duel citizen). again, you're lagging far behind the boxing powers. :nut

    hey who said the Philippines' on the said country's level yet? admittedly we may be lagging a little, but the fact that the #1 P4P, and a couple of current champions are pinoys, then the Philippines must be doing a good job. Considering that the venue is so far from the boxers homeland. If the Philippines were just beside Las Vegas, you'd be seeing more:good

    boxbox,

    so you're saying that the philippines would have equal or more world champions than mexico 155-33 (currently in mexico's favor) if the philippines were next door to the united states?

    then why does mexico lead the philippines in head-to-head title fights
    43-21-2?

    can you give me a legitimate explaination of this?

    OK, First- The Philippines particularly the youth, is not that interested in boxing. They'd rather play basketball, badminton, bowling and billiards. Why? because these are sports that are given more exposure, access, interest, etc..in the country. It's being showcased on television on odd times, and shown on not so popular stations. It is only recently where the promotion of boxing has been elevated to a new level. Second- basing on the history of Mexico where boxing has been a household sport since time immemorial. It is only natural for them to be more advanced now, in terms of training, and the opportunity for them to be seen in the spotlight is so much easier because of proximity. Interest in the sport is higher because of the success of the fighters produced by a long history of involvement in the sport.

    boxbox,

    look, i'm not trying to downplay the achievements of pinoy boxers like pinoy fans like to belittle mexico's achievements. it's just that alot of pinoys make that excuse that the philippines is an ocean away as to why the philippines lags behind mexico. the one barometer we can measure the countries on is their head-to-head confrontations in title fights and mexico's superiority has much more to do than the philippines so far away.

    true. look. you have been in the philippines in the past. does boxing a flourishing trade on your time?

    Luisito Espinosa, for all his talent, has been widely rumored ducked by Naseem Hamed. Philippines then lacks exposure until Pacquiao came.

    Look at what is happening now.

    GcIII,

    i do think the sport of boxing in the philippines is catching feverish levels. i also do agree that i felt in his prime, luisito espinosa was an underrated great champion.

    but i have to CRINGE when i hear pinoys say that in the future pinoys will have world champions "in every division". :nut
