    Actually, I believe I said pound for pound consideration. And at this point, I think he's in the top 20 or 25 pound for pound, easily. He had a decent resume before dismantling Katsidis. I think Guerrero's been showing both improvement and promise, and Katsidis was a legitimate title holder/contender, one tough ****er, and favored by many to win. Guerrero handled him well, and he appears to be getting better.

    As I'm sure you remember, I endured a massive ESB crucifixion, when I apparently offended the majority with a simple, yet true claim, in my first post several months, maybe a year ago, with basically the same post as this one. My main point of the thread was to show that it was true then, and even more so now.

    Ward and Donito are unarguably top echelon, elite, world-class fighters, with Robert Guerrero knocking on the door. These guys are all in the upper half of California, just the bay area, and doesn't even include Sacramento at all, which is quite the fight town in it's own right.

    Socal? That's just piling on.

    He learned his craft in the USA. End of argument.

    ah so its not the place of birth, not where he claims to represent (phillipines) but the place he learned to box which decides his nationality in every walk of his life?

    I just stating the fact that he learned his craft here. He was born in PI but he is also an american citizen, and he learned his craft in the US.

    ^ Those are facts.

    He is Filipino-American. His wife is just American of Filipino heritage because she was born and raised in America.

    In that case Fabregas can play for England.

    You Yanks have no idea about international sport, clearly having World Series with only 1 country involved!

    Maybe become familiar with how FIFA rules work

    Why should i worry about FIFA when im talking about Boxing? I dont care who Fabregas plays with, he can play with himself for all i care since i dont really follow soccer, except when its the world cup.

    Look at Lennox Lewis, taught to box in Canada, represented Canada in the Olympics. Using Yanky logic, he is Canadian, and yet Lewis like Nonaire considers his place of birth where is nationality stems from.

    yet half the players on each team are foreign born. Besides, the best players in the world come to play in the MLB, without question. Japan has a good league but Ichiro and Matsui are their two best players by far, and they have been in the MLB for some time now. Not too many other league in the world in any sport can claim they are by far the best league in their sport like the MLB.

    Try the Premier League Darts. But that doesnt have the audacity to call itself the World Series, unlike your Rounders.

    ****ing hell, right on his ****ing website he includes the Canadian flag in his mish mash coat of arms. He's spoken several times on how important his time in Canada was to him.

    And you sure are intent on arguing this, but you have no idea how Americans view themselves. As for Donaire you have no idea what the pinoy culture is like here. I know many pinoys that would fly that flag before the US flag, and they were ****ing born here. Culture and ethnic identity is much more fluid in California, so calm the **** down.
