Dam 27 looses?? And he is still consired one of the best filipino boxers??

Losses mean nothing back in this time,so much robberies or fights took at the last minute.

Flash is a great.

Much respect to the HOFer Flash Elorde.

Yeah but those are way to many and they werent like in tjw beggining of his career they were all spead out and most were when he fought other elite boxers that doesnt sound like an all time great. But hey i guess only in the philipines

[aether]

flash gets more love from the filipinos than pancho villa. but i think pancho was the greater fighter, despite him dying at such a young age.

Flash is da man!

Flash Elorde & the Pacquaio-Cotto Fight

.... I would rather think of the Pacquaio victory against Cotto as payback to Oscar Ortiz over Flash Elorde .... I saw the black & white film of Elorde in the middle of the ring looking like nailed on the cross on the 14th round ....

I only saw few of his fights including sandy sadler. I was still looking for the footage of the carlos ortiz fight. I wouldnt call him an average. Defending title over 7 years in a competitive era is not an easy task.
