    I know you're referring to my question about how Mayweather fans have more knowledge than Pacquiao fans on Filipino boxers simpy because Mayweather fans are more multi dimensional fans and doesn't worshipt just one fighter.

    Small Montana

    Pancho Villa

    Ceferino Garcia

    Little Dado

    Rolando Navarette

    Manny Pacquiao

    Nonito Donaire

    Gerry Penalosa

    Lusito Espinosa

    Most of them won their first titles or other titles in USA. Some in other countries. I promise you man, typical Pacfans like ez_e91, kalambre, More Human, Brother Love, and Jhnipples won't be able to answer this question unless the question is only about Pacquiao!

    Sorry Reynaldo. It's just so early for me to be nostalgic.

    I'm here only to get myself entertained, post my answers and questions. I don't intend to compete with anyone's knowledge in boxing which I can be found in the archives, if I need to.

    Kenny knows much in boxing than me. Maybe thats where he's good at. Scavenging for dusted files in the rubble.lol

    Me. I visit here each time I need to be relieved from stress at work.
