    The ****? Oscar's accent is a cholo as you can get. Well, maybe not the "HOLMES! ESE! FOO!" accent, but you can tell he has the heavy "Chicano" accent.

    Politics.... Obama has more to lose than to gain by congratulating Donaire. The Hispanic vote is a lot more important than the Filipino vote.

    Nonito is percived by everybody to be filipino first. DLH fought in the olympics for the US and won a Gold medal. He went out of his way to embrace the US by wearing trunks with the US flag in it. DLH knew how much that would help him in the business side of boxing. DLH was never embraced by most mexican fans and was seen more as an american.

    While donaire is loved in the phillipines and is probably not know by the regular fan. And no matter what he does he'll never be seen as an american. He might be embraced as a great boxer but not as an american great boxer.

    :hat

    If Donaire is black Fil-Am, would he merit attention from the busy chief executve of the US? This is in a way an offshoot to another thread which says that if Pacquiao is an American, he would be greater than Oscar, Ali, etc.
