            Yeah, Pacquiao and Hatton has a massive fan base.

            Thanks for informing me about JMM, I thought that since Cuba and Mexico are neighboring country, and that he fought Casamayor who is a Cuban, that it might be the reason why Cuba will reflect on Google.

            I removed Cuba from his name because apparently there is a Juan Manuel Marquez place in Cuba.

                Thanks for informing me about it. This is a case very much like that of Paul Williams. Adjusted Rafael Marquez.
