    As much as you hate Pacman fans (hopefully not all of them), it will always be good for boxing. It was the same way Mexican gloated and bragged when JCC came into the spotlight. (And maybe the way boricuas treated Tito) These types of fighters are rare ( im not comparing pacman with JCC ) but Filipinos have other fighters to root for. (not the way you percieve that Filipinos wait for a looooong time for champions to come out). Asian fighters tends to dominate the lower weights which is unpopular in the U.S. , the reason why you don't think there are other "Champions" in the Philippines. Peace
    Name me all the Filipino World Champions please. Last time I checked there was 1.

In the "American" based P4P list, it would be a surprise to see a fighter who never fought in the U.S to be there. Hmmmmm.... actually I dont know anybody who hasn't fought in the U.S. to be there. It's simply sad coz its 7000 miles away from "real" boxing media. You need to be extra talented with lots of "who you know" kinda thing to get you the recognition you deserve. Had pacman not replace that guy who was to fight Ledwaba in the U.S., would you think boxing fans would have known him? Anyway.......got to go
    Hate to break it to you, but if you haven't fought here then your nobody. Do you know why? because this is where the best fighters in the world are. To even suggest that there is better competion outside of America is laughable, not saying you did, but thats how you move up a p4p list by fighting other top guys.

    all the biggest foriegn stars have to come here to prove themselves. Lewis, Hamed, Duran, Chavez, Pac...etc.

        Well it's obvious that we all have alot of time in our hands, so in all sincerity, if both of you Mr. Black Jesus and Senor Jose, sift through some of my posts and please take your time, I know it may take you guys weeks to comprehend all that info. Just curious how did you guys do in your reading comprehension in school?

          all you die hard Pac fans make it seem that Pac is unstopable and will walk all over Marquez.. that may be the case if he smoothers JMM counterpunching style.. listen.. im a PAC fan also and proud to be a FIL-AM.. but as of right now, my bet is on JMM... JMM is in shape, he is focused for Feb 26, no distractions, and his style is perfect for Pacs all out, aggressive style.. IMO the 3k fight did not prove anything.. he still has the power and speed, but it is obvious that he still needs work on his right... i noticed his use of the right hook and thats a plus.. but he needs to work on that jab.. i see the fight 60-40 for JMM right now.. Pac needs to get to work and focus on the fight.. i hope he proves me wrong coming Feb 26th.. Go Pac!

                  to answer some of the question at present the PI have one p4p or champion, but there are bunch of guys who are prospects just wait for them it wont be a loooongtime as some here suggests ...


                  "if you haven't fought here then your nobody"
                  this is one of the sad thing in boxing you have to fight in the USA to be globally recognized, 7000 miles is a long way to take a fight and not to many fighters from Asia are given the chance ....

                  "To even suggest that there is better competion outside of America is laughable", this is another sad one, its not that there is a better competion outside of the USA where most of the best boxer congregate, but it is the lack of scouting for talent eastward...

                  you got injin chi out from nowhere, he gave EM a fight...
                  you got pac out of nowehere, he gave MAB a beating and fought JMM in a classic fight....

                  so how many more chis or pacuiaos are out there, we may never know if they will not be given the chance to prove themselves and give the competition in the US a run for their money...

                      I never disputed that the U.S. is the way to go. It is !!
                      That's why I said its SAD!! Its sad that its 7000 miles away.... but what if Thailand was beside the continental U.S.?...don't you think there will be more recognized Thai champions?
