I'm a massive Pacquiao fan but I think his worldwide recognition is grossly overestimated because of his cult status in the Philippines. The sad thing is I'd never heard of Mayweather as well. The only thing you hear about here is rugby fucking league. Man I never knew that Peurto Ricans had a birthright to American citizenship. You learn something new everyday
Jahmez, I had been boxing for nearly 2 years and had fights under my belt in two countries already before I started to learn a bit about professional boxing. Before I signed up to Saddos and started hearing about this Pacquiao fellow, Mayweather, Marquez, etc. All I knew was Ali was the man, but a lil punch drunk these days. RJJ was slick. That was it!

It was was kinda cool asa new boxer to be like this. I mean, it made it so much more exciting to learn the sport in both training and history. I kinda like you Jahmez (in a totally non gay way lol) and hope you stick around Saddos and the trainin section. You got a really good attitude for boxing me thinks.
