"Pacquiao" is now a verb ...

[XaduBoxer]

Presently Philippines has 3 boxing champs... Last year there's a time when it has 5 champs at the same time... Many years ago there's a time when it has more than 6 champs at one time...

Currently Filipinos focused more on Pacquiao coz he's so big, so popular... In fact, I think he's the most popular active boxer right now all over the world...

Ofcourse Chino didnt know that.

So there are only 3 champs up there and MANY years ago there were more than one, etc. Can we say the Philipines are a major country in the history of boxing? As much as Mexico, Puerto Rico, USA, England, etc.?

Is Pac popular? You bet! Does he deserve to be popular? Of course! Is he good? He's GREAT! But let's see if the Philipines is still a country to talk about in boxing after Pac is retired. That's my point.

Like I said, I am glad Pac is around. How boring would boxing be if we didn't have exciting boxers around like him. Imagine if people thought boxing would get boring after having Duran, Hearns, Leonard, Barkley, Hagler, Camacho, Norris, Tyson, Chavez, and many more in the same generation. Boxing is quite exciting even now, we also have lots of names in this generation .

I consider the Philippines as a known player in boxing history (Pancho Villa, Flash Elorde, Ceferino Garcia, Luisito Espinosa, etc.)... You belittle the Philippines and mentioned England... Right now England (UK) has only one legit champ in Carl Froch...
