    Why no good Philipino HWs?

    Imagine what a HW version of Pacman would do to the HW division.

    Imagine a Philipino that big.....

    And I doubt that just cause they're the same race a HW would have the same skills as Pacquiao.

        This exact topic was posted awhile ago. Someone posted an image of Bautista. The WWE wrestler whose half Filipino and half something else. He's huge. Though I guess that's the only thing that could be closest.

          L M A O.......

          taller/bigger Filipinos tend to focus on basketball rather than boxing... primarily because its not that risky, health-wise... and being a basketball player here in the philippines pays well...

            pretty ironic however, when PBA players sometimes do love to fight in the court.

                soccer is not that well known over here... basketball might even be more popular than boxing and pool here... the Philippines had the first professional basketball league in asia....

                  Shooting

                    I don't think we normally see Asian fighters naturally as big as HWs anyway...a lot of Mexican fighters are in lower weight classes because naturally a lot of them are smaller...I kind of think the same for Asian fighters
