    The second best Filipino of all time behind no shame in Manny Pacquiao. Say what you want about his conservative ways but he is a good if not great role model for the kids. His wife is a true pinay no matter how much they diss her, queen of arnes. I've watched his videos MANY times. I love his video with Smitty talking about the Vic dartinyan knockout set up, what a sweet video ! He teaches some nice gems in that video like: I don't watch eyes, eyes can lie. And: he makes sure to KNOW the opponents balance, the Vic dartinyan fight was super pre meditated! I also have a fond time watching him come into the ring with Bautista, another true pinoy! So many kos on his highlight reel... Anyway this guy has always been must see tv, whether the first time around or the second! War Filipino flash!!!

    It's time for the Filipino Flash to retire. I'm sad by the fact that he fell short of winning another title and becoming the oldest active champion but he's already sealed his career and has nothing else left to prove. Time to call it a day Champ.

    Really wanted to see him capture a title at 43. He's a shell of what he used to be at his best, but it's not often you see a little guy perform this well at such an advanced age. Now is a good time to bow out; he's taken a lot of punishment over the years and has had a career few could even dream of. First ballot HOFer.

    Nonito! A great advocate for clean fighting NO peds! He said many asked him to juice but he said no because he believed in his abilities above steroids and such! I would have loved to have seen him in there with that brash casimero but that's ok it probably wasn't meant to be!

    I really enjoyed his skills and talents in display on in this corner with Smitty! He was one of the best funniest comical dudes copying and duplicating others styles for fun!!! Long live Nonito.

    Ps Roy Jones Jr said he was so talented that the people around him could not fathom his greatnesß. That's huge coming from Roy!! Another atg.
