    Well, whether or not you consider Donaire as American is up to you. But since he was born on the Philippines from Filipino parents, I add him as a Filipino. That being said, there are two Filipino titleholders right now. Donaire and Florante Condes who beat Rachman a day before.

    Pacman is the best and most popular the Philippines have, yet he is in everyway not a world champion.

    Now we have two. Hopefully they can have a respectable reign at least at par with Luisito Espinosa's WBC title tenure.

    I consider them both from Philippines, Pac is a great fighter and Donaire will become great also. Hope he fights a lot.

    Isn't Pac also a title holder? Also, why is Pac not in every way, a world champ?

    We're done breh. This is the GOLDEN ERA of filipino boxing. I'm just glad to be alive to see it and live it.

    There won't ever be another Pacquiao and there won't be another Donaire ranked this high p4p.

    Think of like the roaring 20's..roaring 80's and 90's. All dynasties come to an end.

    What the Philippines can do is capatilize and harness as much talent and get as much people into boxing. Its the only sport I think we can be great at and known for.

    ****, I hope someone proves you wrong.. It is pretty unbelievable wat Pac has done & what donaire will hopefully do.

    With boxing getting even more popular now I hope someone comes up and keeps the filos up there with champs.

    Come on Buboy do your thing, find the next pacquiao :bbb
