I'll repost what I said in another thread:

I think its ok for hardcore PacFanBoys to come up with all these threads about Pac being the greatest ever. It can get annoying sometimes but think about it. When was the last time you heard of a Filipino being under the spotlight as much as Pacquiao or achieve at least half as much? For other countries is normal to have not only one but MANY boxers in different weight divisions as champions and Hall of Famers. Think about Mexico, Puerto Rico, USA, England, etc. So let them be. It may last maybe 2 or 3 more years while Pac is fighting because after that, maybe other Filipino boxers will follow, which is good! More competition to the sport or maybe things will go back to how they were with no asian in the boxing spotlight for many years to come.

I'll put it this way, let's say that Bangladesh beat Brazil and other European teams in the World Cup and suddenly became competitive and dominated the sport, wouldn't Bangladesh have a lot to brag about, be proud, have Bangladesh people talking about their soccer team all day long, etc.? Well, think Pac now. Saddoboxer and hardcore PacFanBoys deserve to enjoy this ride while it lasts. I just shake my head slowly and smile when I see threads like this. It's all good really.

I am glad we have Pac in the sport. He brings excitement, big fights, and all the good stuff. A nice likeable humble guy.
