Philippines TOP 10 Fighters of All-Time

[badboypeenoy]

Is that what you call defending?

ALA = Part of Philippine boxing
You = hating on ALA

You hating on ALA is like dissin you own country's boxing heritage... no matter how you look at it you're not doing your country any favors. What you did will only make haters and people like xcaret cum and disrepect you more.

What you did by making that video is just ****** makes you look like an attention whore.

OK, I'll take your challenge. How did ALA become part of our boxing heritage?

Whether you like it or not they are... ALA has long been there in the Philippine boxing scene, in fact they are one of the most respected and well known stable in the country and produced top boxers. They help put back boxing in the mainstream by hosting big fights and have it broadcast. I'm not saying they are the best but they definitely had a mark on Philippine boxing.

If you don't like them then don't support them... but bashing them in front of the whole world is just wrong coz they are still part of pinoy boxing, still part of you.

That is not what you call "heritage", that's reaping what the likes of Espinosa and Pacquiao have sown. They did not put Philippine boxing in the mainstream, boxing was starting to "re-emerge" and they hijacked it for their own selfish ends. I woudn't mind if they ride piggie-back on the Pacquiao popularity machine, but help other Filipino gyms and other Filipino contenders for chrissake, don't just promote ALA boys. We have how many regional champs in the country now, would you know? NO! Why is that? Because ALA and his Pacland/Philboxing cohorts do not even let Filipinos know they exist! There is conspiracy happening here I tell you. By hi******* Philippine boxing, they were able to land for their fighters GBP contracts as well as juicy tie-ups with Giant Philippine TV network ABS-CBN. To make things even worse, now they're into making people believe that there's this division in Philippine boxing where Visayans rule over Tagalogs or "Tangalogs" (idiots) according to them. Is that the Heritage and History you're talking about?

And I'm not even discussing here their boxing program where they get impoverished kids to take on boxing as a profession. If that's your idea of "heritage" we can discuss that too.
