Legendary Boxing Analyst Al Bernstein calls the Philippines "The Hotbed of Boxing".

I would say yes... .. and since they have the p4p best fighter in the world.... the kids in phillipines eat for breakfast manny pac lunch packy and for dinner lady fan threads.... they are doing everything right to be the HOT BED OF BOXING.

they need to improve their chin!... (pacland recommendation) what a bunch of hype... besides pacquiao and donaire, phillipines has nothing..and donaire hasnt fought a worthy opponent since darchinyan and we all know pacquiao has a dark cloud over his career. Just wait because promoters and international trainers are starting to see the potential of the Filipino fighters because of Pacquiao and because of their natural talent. But I dont see the Filipinos to dmoninate the above 130 division...

No. Philippines has still a long way to go.

it's nice that mr. bernstein appreciates filipino boxers unlike some posters here who are racist, haters, jealous fans and posters always owned by pactards.:rofl::rofl:

poor filipinos above 5 ft opts to enter military service than box.

they're never going to compete in that division, most filipinos dont grow over five feet. Manny is fighting at that weight because of Arizas magic milkshakes stfu racist loser.

I want to some see some Filipinos (and Filipino-Americans) compete at least in the JWW division. I don't like watching them compete in the featherweight division or below. I don't see want to see anymore 115lb mother f**kers either, until then, I'm not interested in Filipino boxers.

Him and other ALA gym stablemates need better conditioning if they want to perform better on a global stage. I haven't seen an ALA fighter who doesn't gass out. I have to agree with that. ALA fighters need to improve their conditioning... I saw this happen with AJ Banal... He was winning againts Rafael Conception for the world title but suddenly he was knock down... he gassed out.....

Marvin Sonsona (14-0-1 12 wins way by KO) and Casimero (14-0 8 way by KO) are just 19 years old. At their young age they are already world class fighters specially sonsona.... AJ Banal has a potential too... Him and other ALA gym stablemates need better conditioning if they want to perform better on a global stage. I haven't seen an ALA fighter who doesn't gass out.

The Philippines are producing world class fighters on a regular basis now, some of these guys come out of nowhere like Sonsonsa and Casimero.

I see so many people looking up to Pac,that there will be alot more fighters coming out of the Philippines.Its a good thing. There is so much potential, they just need the proper training and conditionig as well as financial support...

Philippines has 1000 wannabe pacquiaos in training which will turn pro soon or just turned pro. Three Ps will play the major role for this to happen... Pacquiao Poverty, just like manny who started as a very poor guy. People are willing to do anything just to be rich. Pride, the spirit of nationalism

Do you agree? Philippines has 1000 wannabe pacquiaos in training which will turn pro soon or just turned pro.

It's about time. I have considered this since 2005.
