Luisito Espinoza lost his WBA title by KO right after his second fight as a champion. Won the WBC on a close fight to "Mantecas" Medina. Beat Cesar Soto in a close fight but after the rematch everything went down hill.

Rolando Navarrete got KOed on his first try for a title but I don't blame him for losing vs Alexis Arguello. A controversial win vs a Korean opponent Choi. That's what I call home court advantage . Will have to watch that fight again and see how many seconds were left when that bell rang to save Navarrete from a KO loss.

Not sure if we can say much from Speedy Dado after seeing that his last 5 years in the sport were disastrous. 25 or so, straight losses one after the other. All in 5 years of his career. Never holded a World Title. Don't know why you mentioned him.

Dodie Espinoza won a title and a year later lost it.

And so on.

For the moment, Pac is amazing. Interesting how he used to be seen ad a little guy...yeah right! Proving others wrong winning world titles and beating quality opposition as he goes up in weight. We also have Nonito Donaire (you're right BruceLee) who has been looking good. Hope to see him soon vs Fernando Montiel, Daisuke Naito, Denkaosan Kaovichit, southpaw Omar Andrés Narváez, etc. Rey Bautista might be a good prospect. Just lost to Heriberto Ruiz by a wide margin of points though.

Not sure if we could say that there has been another Filipino that has had boxing fans talking about as much as Pac or past American boxers, Mexican boxers, Puerto Rican boxers, etc. But there seems to be some prospects in the making in the lower lighter weights.
