    Marvin is already a major belt holding champ at 19 with less than 15 pro fights. Melligen got robbed and wasn't a big prospect as boom boom was. Damn how many prospects actually become champs from any country. Mexico, PR, USA have a high ratio of boxers with unmet expectations. It is just that Manny set the bar so high you expect every prospect from the philippines to succeed. That is not how it works. The P.I. is still churning out names you never heard before and Sonsona is on the top of a great list. Donaire, Viloria, nietes, penalosa etc. are already there, sonsona is the new addition to a list of champs that will continue to grow as names like cisco morales, jason pagara etc. are even better then the last prospect.

      Alibata, sometimes your nuthuggin' for Pinoy fighters goes a lil overboard. Most of the fighters you mentioned have not even earned their stripes yet.

      Pinoy media and PAC's rise to superstardom are putting a lil too much pressure on these young cats. They need to find their own style. PAC's not exactly a "textbook fighter". Alot of what PAC does would get yo @ss killed in the ring.
