Its really unbelivable that they are friends especially after all their fueled battales in and out of the ring.

If you don't think Mantecas career is legendary then i don't know what to think. How did he win those fights? Where where they held, and who did Espinonsa beat besided Mantecas?
I know before Pacquiao you guys had Espinosa who was huge in the Filiiipines. Just never in America like Pacquiao.
I think Mantecas deserved to be inducted. All im saying is if mantecas deserved it Espinosa does too.
He beat
Alejandro Gonzalez ( Beat Forbes )
Cesa Sotto
Manuel Medina twice
Carlos Rios KO ( Went the distance with Mayweather)
Juan Carlos Ramirez
Kennedy McKinney - KO ( Most recognizable)
These were not Superstars but they were solid in the era when they fought.

Medina first took the title from Gonzalez then Espinosa took it from Medina least i think thats how it happened.
McKinney had already been beat by Barrera and against by Bungu and again by Jones, Espinosa got him last but still a very good name on his recored and one hell of a ko.
I honestly thought he had enough left for Espinosa but Augie just bombed on him. Had Augie had a better chin or defence he'd been Champion.

Do you guys still hold the boxing record for most people to attend a boxing match? I know i have the ring issue that said you have hold the record but this record is not for a paying crowd, i recall the phillipine government payed to have a Louisito Espinosa fight in the phillipines and no one was charged to attend the fight and i think even the president attended the fight. Thats how big Louisito Espinosa was, thats my point before Pacquiao there as Espinosa, you aggree or disaggree? .

Espinosa had legal problems with HBO after the Ramirez fight. I think he was suing them??
Espinosa is a 2 division Champion and IMO deserved to be inducted with medina because he defended his WBC title 7 times w/c is good enough imo.
losses are still losses but he was old by that time.
