I have to give respect where respect is due I am as loyal a boxing fan as you will find but Filipinos are owning Boxing today with Pacquiao and Donaire. Mexico has a much richer Boxing history with lots of legendary names but in today's Boxing World the Philippines is dominating. Mexico has Saul Canelo Alvarez, Frankie Gomez, Jose Benavidez, and Abner Mares who I really feel can all be special.
Props to the Filipinos you boys can fight.
Size again?
Its Incredible how they allowed Antonio Tarver who is 6'3 KTFO Montell Griffin who is 5'7. That is 8 inch difference.
or
How they allow James Buster Dougles who is 6'5 KTFO Mike Tyson who is 5'11. That is 6 inches in difference.
or
Hearns-Duran ( 6 Inches )
Lennox-Tua ( 6 inches )
Margarito- Cotto ( 5 inches )
PWilliams - Quintana ( 5 inches )
S. Peter - J.Toney ( 5 inches )
Its unfair for these little fighters to get beaten by their 'bigger' opponents.
Wow, ur pretty pissed, lol. "He's to big for him" is the biggest excuse i ever heard. If they step on that scale and make weight thats all that matters... no excuses. Been that way for a loooooong time. But if that's your excuse, lets put skill up against skill and forget about size for a moment... Now I wanna hear what you have to say. And just relax, take a deep breath and have a conversation without having to say "retard", lol.
Abner Mares is 5 '5
Donaire is 5 '6
Wtf are you talking about??? 1 inch!?!? LOL. I'm sure if Abner heard you talkin like that he'd probably slap you.
you're making a lot of sense with your posts but that's not the way to talk to special people like xcaret.
its too premature though to say that Donaire would be really big in boxing world. a destruction of Montiel was awesome but lets not get carried away. I'm a fan of both but to say we got 2 GREAT Pinoy boxers? hmm Donaire is not great YET! one win against a GOOD boxer doesnt make him great. but i hope in the future he can be as big as Pac. We Filipinos hoping that Donaire would be the heir to Pac's throne.
and no comparison please! saying Donaire is a better boxer? you dont become a great boxer because of a technical ability. you become a better boxer by proving it in the boxing ring. not in a technical analysis.
Donaire is a Filipino American, his parents are full blooded Pinoys, Nonito is a full blooded Filipino. he is definitely a pure Filipino with American passport. thats all there is. Fil-Am
Abner Mares is 5 '5
Donaire is 5 '6
Wtf are you talking about??? 1 inch!?!? LOL. I'm sure if Abner heard you talkin like that he'd probably slap you.
Donaire has freaking long arms as well. Mares needs to grow an afro to match Donaire's height and we'll all be happy.
why am i not surprised that mares is smaller than donaire... and yet u dumb pinoys want that fight to happen... donaire needs to move to featherweight where he belongs.hector is scurred for mares. He doesn't even know you exist. :lol1:
yes donaire will win u fuken retard, hes too fukn big for him..

pffffttt gtfo pacquiao is on peds and nonito is fighting smaller men.. the fuk outta here.
^^^^^:haha:
fukin dumb homo mexicunt is so mad! :lol1:
you're a pathetic son of a peon. :lol1:

Sorry man... If Mares wins the tourney, this fight is gonna happen. He'll get destroyed by Donaire & you'll probably have to change your sig, lol. Getting back to the main topic... The Phillipines has a long way to go as far as history is concerned, but at the moment they are leading the pack (1 & 3 P4P with an inactive fighter at the 2 spot).
The Phillipines only has 1.5 great fighters. admittedly, theyre excellent.
but Mexico has more top fighters than the Phillipines out there. I mean, the only reason that Mexico has taken so many losses lately is because they have a ton of top fighters all over the place to begin with.
quantity vs quality situation.
Isn't Donaire trained by Mexicans?? Pacquiao is really all the Phillipines got...I think Mares exposes Donaire later this year. He can beat up on brawlers with suspect chins all he want, but I think a boxer with a great chin, like Mares, will dominate him.Whatever, donaire versus mares will happen only if mares bolt out of GBP, this fight is difficult to make.
pffffttt gtfo pacquiao is on peds and nonito is fighting smaller men.. the fuk outta here.
Hector Posts like a True Mexican warrior... He will never quit...Hater por vida.
They only have two elites at the moment, I don't know what the you're talking about. And the a lot of upcoming Filipino prospects last year lost to Mexican champions and cabdrivers.
Props to the Mexicans which will be a hard act to follow but to all you old school fans it did not start with Pacquiao
Puerto Rico beat the P.I. in a HUGE FIGHT when Ortiz beat Elorde
With Mexico you got Luisito Espinosa vs. Manuel Medina/Alejandro Gonzalez/Cesar Soto. Navarette vs. Limon 1 and 2, etc.
Mexico has more champions and more boxers but we have no one right now who can compare to Pacquiao and Donaire.
I am also pretty high on Mercito Gesta. Him and Brandon Rios are going to duke it out soon as well.
Agreed. People are underestimating Gesta. Don't sleep on this kid... I saw him sparring at Wild Card before his fight in San Fran and he made an impression on everyone in the gym, especially Roach.

Pac is trained by Roach.. so what if Garcia trains Donaire?
idk, i see it as older or bigger name mexican boxers are headed towards the end of their careers. the marquez brothers are old, morales and barrera still being active is a joke, and montiel, well who knows what he wants to do after this...but the young talent of mexican or mexican-american boxers we have right now in boxing makes it look like there's a bright future for mexico...but yeah, manny and nonito are hopefully paving the way for more filipino boxers to come up, its good to have a diversity of nationalities in a sport. great night for filipinos though
big mares fan but your nuts
I'm really high on Mares. I think he is the most skilled fighter at Bantamweight. He might not have the best power, but he's got the chin to withstand most of their shots. I think Mares goes on to win Showtime's Bantamweight Tourney. Then he goes on to upset Donaire later this year. WAR MARES :boxing:
