    Don't think so JG...

    Like there never was a Norwegian, Swedish or Dutch minimumweight contender... might have never even been a fighter in that weightclass from those countries. :yep

    I think the biggest Pinoy is only 4 foot 8 inches

    Yes there is and he's only 5'6

    Floyd: What PAC is doing is as if I was knocking out heavyweights.

    But he still can be obese. Certainly if he lives in the US :D

    Was always amazed just a few years ago that there were Pinoy bantams approaching 6-feet tall training in Los Angeles at The Wild Card Gym.
