about being hyped hell..media..we can't deny it..flash elorde/ pancho villa have somewhat comparable achievement but at that time TV sets are for the higher class..no ppv.. and we were not yet goin gonzo on communications..(hehe morse code pa to sauna)thus they don't stop when the latter fights..heheh...
i was there..hehe lolo na ko ninyo..
and i think someone said pakyaw is not the best boxer now or of all time..thats true..
the consider best boxer of all time is sugar ray robinson..and and ring mag has floyd mayweather as the best today..
elorde is not as exciting as the pacman. i consider him overrated and overhyped. my father used to tell me stories about him which were half true (my father got it from mygrandpa). there were even stories that in his fights in the us, boxing fans are walking out of the arena during the fight just like what happened to mayweather-baldomir fight. pancho villa has the potiential but he died too young.
pacman is still very young. at age 27, he we've still may have not seen the best of pacman he's improving in everyfight thats why boxing fans have predictions of him having an all time great status if he continues to impress the fans. mayweather may be the 1 pound for pound boxer for some boxing bodies but its very arguable because of his roy jones like cherrypicking of his opponents. he may have the best talent but he never dared to be great like pacman.
