    Obviously the Thrilla in Manila, none of you are dumb. Some would say Thrilla in Manila 2. Flash Elorde fought out of Manila and had some great fights with Sandy Saddler. Archie Moore fought Buddy Turman couple times in Manila, but it was never taped to my knowledge. Any others?

    Hopefully Manny Pacquiao can bring it back to the 'pinnes one time before he's done. Like a farewell fight so to say

    Oscar larios was a tough hombre, what was he 6 foot even? I remember him beating Israel Vasquez in a fight of the year type caliber of a fight on ESPN years back.

    Not sure if specifically in Manila, but surely in the Philippines, maybe not great but action-packed.
    1. Donaire - Martinez
    2. Pacquiao - Mira
