There's a lot less depth of Pinoy prospects, but the best of their prospects seem just as promising to me (if not more so) than the best of the Mexican prospects. I'd put Sonsona up there with the best of the Mexican prospects, at least.
brickhaus, okay then name all the top pinoy prospects. i'll bet you won't be able to name ten. remember, a prospect is someone who hasn't been a champion or even fought for a title. go ahead!
brickhaus, i came up with 15 good pinoy prospects. i will name them along with their mexican counterparts. fyi, most of pinoy prospects are in the lower weight classes while the top mexican prospects are from the lower to welterweights. PHILIPPINES MEXICO minimum......milan melindo..........................juanito hernandez fly..............marvin sonsona.......................hernan marquez super fly......drian francisco........................victor zaleta bantam........a. j. banal.............................abner mares bantam........glenn porras..........................carlos cuadras bantam........rolando magbanua...................leo santa cruz s. bantam....balweg bangoyan.....................antonio escalante s. bantam....ciso morales............................joksan hernandez feather........lorenzo villanueva....................juan carlos burgos s. feather.....rey labao...............................alejandro sanabria s. feather.....anthony marcial......................juan carlos salgado lightweight....mercito gesta.........................antonio de marco lightweight....jason pagara...................humberto mauro gutierrez jr. welter......mark jason melligen..................mauricio herrera okay so these are your only viable top 15 pinoy prospects. mexican prospects outnumber pinoy prospects by at least a 6-1. there is no comparison on phil. and mex prospects. in fact, the only pinoy prospects i give even a chance are milan melindo over juanito hernandez and maybe marvin sonsona over hernan marquez because of the big difference in size. otherwise the rest of the pinoy prospects get ko'd or badly beaten. now what's your argument?
congratulations robert guerrero, the new ibf super featherweight champion of the world. for those of you who think mexican/mexican-american boxing is dying think again.
