Comments Thread For: Remembering Boxing Great Gabriel "Flash" Elorde

[carts]

Being the longest reigning junior lightweight champ ever is average?

Does a win over Sandy Saddler make one average?
How about wbc making him the greatest superfeatherweight, is WBC made up of filipinos now?

Lets see your fave fighters match an 'average' fighter's accomplishments.

he doesnt know syet about boxing no need to rub it in dude..

If it were so easy then why are his accomplishments not replicated or outdone today?

The points i raised were just not of my own, but shared by experts, writers, sanctioning bodies and historians. these are the people who matter and will always be more credible than some random poster such as you.

You should call these people and tell 'em they are high on crack for thinking such.

LOL at the name calling, i just raised valid points and you lost your nerve, don't cry now.

oh im sorry, because today in time no one gets praised for beating bums in the their country

Pseudo-journalism at its finest.

This thread is proof that the Pac fans on b-scene are just that..Pac fans..they NOTHING about the sport or its history...

They dont know who Flash was..and they dont know Pancho Villa.

They dont even post in Donaire threads..theyre just 15 year old fan boys with an obsession for a guy they seen in a nike commercial...

Pure nut huggers.

This thread is proof.

Name 'em, old man. Everybody listened to radios back then when Elorde fought. Even poor Villa had to fight even his frickn tooth gave him hell and killed him.

Donaire should fight Darchinyan BTW.

Happy?

fail. most filipinos are not yet awake on the first post. and i agree when someone mentioned that most "new" boxing fans are young, so they don't know much about Flash Elorde. For me, I'm 40 and I used to hear my dad talk about how great Elorde was, but I never saw him fight live, only from youtube once, so I could not tell much too about how great he is.

right...and you complain about fighters like Pacquiao being overrated by the press today. either you just owned yourself or Pacquiao really is as good as the media says.

hey look everyone, its an instant journalist!

flash is the man. i remember reading about him in mandated history books in grade school.
