Those days, the lighterweight divisions were ruled by mostly Mexican fighters and there were a lot of great ones. Filipinos mostly fought in Japan and Thailand and alot of them were robbed of decisions which eventually robbed them of possible international exposure and reasonable paydays.

I still can't believe Manny lucked into getting the Ledhwaba fight. I think he was just a replacement for this televised fight. And boy did he perform. There weren't many Filipinos on HBO during those days.

Chris John should thank Pacquiao for his last US fight.

that was sum sweet chin music... u nailed it boss...

yo got them mexican anti pac up in here cursing non stop

If people had been interested in boxing after watching Pac fight, Mexican fans would undoubtedly be pissed off. Because Pac`s exciting fights were primarily with their boxers, lol...

Pac kicks ass in the ring, never talks ****, makes for excitin fights. He's gr8 for boxing.

Never, ever talks ****! He just fights. Even when JMM followed him to the Philippines and called him out live on TV, which I thought was disrespectful and sore-loser like, he never talked ****. JMM should have called the judges out because his problem is with them and not with Pacquiao. Manny says he just fights who is in front of him and he lets the judges to the judging.

Class act.

And to actually go out and learn English so that he could be more marketable and crossover to non-Filipino fans is admirable. This is a guy who has very limited education and now he can converse in English, no problem.

I remember watching Pac against Lucero before he was famous.

If anyone saw that fight, they'd absolutely want to watch him more like I did.

He's a great ambassador for the sport.

The knockout in that fight was amazing. Lucero absolutely lost his sense of direction.

one thing he has done is open the doors for other pinoy & asian fighters in to the mainstream who have been severely underrated by the boxing community...

That's true. Gerry Peņalosa is a good example of that. I think he's more talented than Pacquiao in terms of skill but Pacquiao had that aura and the luck to make it big in the mainstream boxing world.

All the talk is done in the ring for Pacquiao but he is also very confident of his abilities.

He was a late replacement for the Ledwaba fight and he had barely enough time for preparation but he did great in that fight. Ledwaba had absolutely no answers to the Pacquiao assault.

I remember that fight. Lucero had a very unorthodox way of trying to defend that day. He just kept bending at the waist. Looked really sloppy doing it then finally got caught clean.
