    He's always looked garbage and has fought garbage. I laughed when people thought he'd be the next big thing.
    I'd get into it with Richardt because I said he ****** and he'd call me a racist or something like that.
    Said he had a good chance at winning against Vasquez and I said he'd get embarrassed.
    THen when the fight was over, he changed his pick

      Yea, he had me fooled for a bit. I wasn't sure he was the next big thing but I was trying to hype him up a couple years back when I thought he had potential, but you're right, he's beaten bums, and hasn't looked that great.

        I was reading up on some guy named Genesis that supposedly is explosive and entertaining and packs a punch. I've only seen one fight on him andi guess he's ok but you can't tell much with one fight. One quick fight at that

          Pacquiao is one of those special talents that's unlikely to be replicated any time soon.

              No; much like Roberto Duran and Alexis Arguello didn't have natural successors from their respective countries.

                Nope.

                Thats the short answer.

                Pacman is a special fighter not just for filipinos of all races, he was a rarity I doubt there will be another one like him regardless of the race.

                Dude was a tasmanian devil.

                The Philippines will probably have some more good boxers down the line but most of them won't be as successful as Pacman.

                  It would be interesting to see someone who could be as good as him

                      he's a good prospect at the national level.... Also at the Asian level. Don't know about world level
