A Question for PINOY Boxing Fans...

[namme]

Nonito seems like he can get more of an Oscar Delahoya crossover thing happening.

Bilingual, Familiar with the States, hot wife, seems to fit in well with different groups, etc.

yeah, everything you said is true! In fact Nonito could also entertain well the public.

But many pinoy boxing fans can't get over Pacquiao yet, that's the sad truth on his part if he wants to be totally accepted by pinoy boxing fans.

He needs to be patient enough to understand this ongoing pacquiao phenomenon and euphoria.

I'm not Pinoy, but it seems like Nonito hasn't capitalized on the Darchinyan KO, as great as it was. Probably needs to be more active. Also, Pac is destroying name competition lately. That's always more exciting to casual fans.

Also, I think people in general need to be told what and who to like. Not that people of the world are robots, but if Nike hypes you up, you get a lot more attention. Once there's a buzz around you, people that didn't pay attention before, will.

In due time Nonito will get his proper recognition and respect. It's not his time right now, but if he gets better, eventually it'll pay off. Manny wasn't an overnight success, just remember it wasn't too long ago when he was unknown and it took him a long time before he started to get some attention.

THIS MAY SEEM LIKE HERESY TO PAC FANS...But I am more impressed with the KO of Darchinyan than Pac's KO of Hatton (the stoppage of Cotto trumps both).

Darchinyan looked like a straight killer at the time, whereas Hatton has been stopped/hurt before.

And the way it happened, and the way Vic was so out of it afterwards was lovely.

Nonito hasn't been that inactive. He has fought every six months, which isn't that bad at all at a championship level. It's just that Pac is about to have his 4th fight in sixteen months, which is unheard of at that level of the sport.
