Is Pacman the greatest Asian Champ of all time?

[Chups]

Gave you a 160K points!!

i can name three boxers who could match manny's greatness:

pancho villa
flash elorde
fighting harada

of the three, history would tell us that pancho villa would give pacman a run for his money as for who hails the title of being the greatest asian fighter. p4p i think villa is above manny in terms of skills, as what i had read in some boxing magazines. pancho villa fought in the flyweight division but he went up against other opponents who are superior in size and strength. as far as i know villa fought over 100 fights when he was still 22 years old and losing only some. historians call him the greatest flyweight of all time.

he died at a very young age of 22(?) having fought more than 100 fights. cause of death? untreated swollen gum. he had a tooth removed by a dentist then afterwards drank the whole night out with friends then the following day or days later he fought a boxing match, with a swollen gum!

I saw Flash Elorde in several Philippine movies and some interviews. I think Flash does not have much in the head. Of course, the Flash didn't have much education like Pacquiao. But Pacquiao has more in-born brain than Elorde or any other Filipino boxer.

Pacquiao displayed more than boxing skill when he answered Larry Merchant in English several times in an afterfight interview. I don't believe Harada or Elorde could ever attempt to do that.

Pancho Villa's life was given a spin, but what can you say to a boxer that died a pauper?

Pacquiao has so much ahead of him. He's destined for greater achievements in his country aside from boxing.

Yes i agree, for me PACMAN is the greatest asian champ of all time. considering the skills and talent of all his previous opponents and manage to win. elorde maybe the great boxer in his time.

[Explosivo]

I like Pac, but if he is the greatest Asian champ in history, that doesnt say a lot about the previous Asian champs. Pac has beaten Barrera, and thats pretty much it. Lets see what he does in the rematch against Marquez and then put him up against Morales and see what happens with him.

Pacman is NOT the greatest asian..... he is not even the greatest Filipino. Though he has the potential, those who are saying that now of him is premature.

Consider these

Gabriel "Flash" Elorde

• Defended his OPBF Lightweight belt 14 times in a span of 9 years (from 1957 to 1966)
• Defended his World Junior Lightweight belt 4 times (from 1960 to 1962)
• Defended his WBC and WBA Superfeatherweight belt 7 times (from 1963 to 1967)
• He was either OPBF Lightweight, WBC & WBA Superfeatherweight and/or World Junior Lightweight champion from 1957 to 1966. Having fought thirty three (33) world championship fights!

Compare that to the PacMan. NO COMPARISON.

He has a long way to go, now let go off his nuts for just a moment please.
