Which boxer is most recognized in his home country?

No doubt it has to be Pacman. I heard a thing on E60 on ESPN that warring factions and the criminals will join all other Filipinos to find the nearest TV set to watch Pac fight. So yea, Pac is the undisputed most recognized fighter in his home land because the country essentially stops to watch him fight!!

 

at present, pac easily. for past boxers, back in the 70's - 80's duran was MASSIVE in panama. national hero/ pride of the nation status. duran is easily the most popular and famous boxer in that country. the guy had a very compelling story, and was able to connect with most of society. he was influential to the degree that he had general torrijos's ear during his rule. considering duran was worshipped by the vast majority of panamanians (and they've had champions like laguna, al brown, predroza, zapata) that kind of fame is easily on level with pac's in the PI.

 

no offense ment bro!

1)the war in the southern part of the philippines between the military and the rebels stops to watch the fight of pac!

2)did any of your president ever attended a birthday party of chavez?! :hey


cheers!

 

i assume it's Pac then Hatton

 

:good

 

Pacquiao is the clear winner here.

Hatton in England would be second, definetly the most mainstream/crossover appeal.

If anyone recognized Joe Calzaghe they would probablly spit in his eye.

 

Nah mate. Everyone over here has heard of Hatton. There's a lot more to him than his boxing, hence why he is so popular.

 

In Oscar's book he explains how big Tito was/is in PR. Oscar's future wife, Millie, had only heard of Oscar because he had fought Tito.

 

tyson...im surprised children still now a days know who he is...

 

Chuck Norris on Mars!

 

It is because their mothers warn them that if they mis-behave, Tyson will come and eat their brains.

 

Naw dude... I have once told this by my uncle when I was an ******* as a kid,but not eat their brains.

"Mike Tyson will get you if your bad and bring you to never never land. And you won't be seen by anyone again."

**** it's still on my mind...my damn a**hole uncle.

 

pac easily. pac is so popular in the philippines that it is even possible that literally each and every person living there knows or has heard of him. that's 90mil people.

 

He still is :deal
