I love boxing, personally, and my favorite boxer is, honestly, Manny Pacquiao. I've been watching his fights for about 5 or 6 years now. Reading up on Pacman is one of the ways I came to like Pilipinos and the culture so much. Just by reading about how he rose up from nothing, and how the people there in Phils. love him and look up to him so much.
So who else is a boxing fan??
I'll give my 5 faves....
1--Manny Pacquiao (46-3-2, 35 KO) Ranked #1 Pound for Pound in The Ring Magazine
2--Paul "Punisher" Williams (34-1, 25 KO) Ranked #3 in The Ring Magazine (Welterweight)
3--Zab Judah (36-5, 25 KO) Ranked #6 in The Ring Magazine (Welterweight)
4--Rey Bautista (25-1, 18 KO) Ranked #9 in The Ring Magazine (Jr. Featherweight)
5--Gerry Penalosa (53-6-2, 36 KO) Ranked #5 in The Ring Magazine (Bantamweight)
**edit** I decided to make this thread not just about who likes boxing, but all about boxing. News, share on recent fights, news, whatever...just as long as it's all about boxing.

well...ummmm...good luck to you with your new hobby

then get ready for Pacquiao--Diaz


^
I hope Pacquiao wins this one. almost all boxing-fans favored Pacquiao to win but I doubt Manny would still have that speed after adding weight. Also Diaz is a natural Lightweight fighter and Pacquiao on the other hand is not yet used on this weight class. there maybe a chance that Pacquiao would not be fighting 100%.
hoho Anyways! I thought I'm the only one here who loves boxing .

Yep, iIagree with you. Everybody is favoring Diaz to win, but it could very well turn out to be a good, close fight. Diaz is an exceptional fighter, i gotta give him credit, and he's hungry. I just hope Manny is more hungry. Regardless of the final outcome, I'm sure it will be a great fight. Pacquiao never disappoints. I guess we'll find out in a few more days. 
Go Manny !!!

Wow....I really thought that Pacquiao-Diaz was going to be a close, tough fight. Boy, was I wrong. Pacquiao destroyed Diaz. Honestly, I thought Pacquiao looked in the best condition I've ever seen him. He looks stronger as a lightweight, and definitely did not lose any of his speed. Geeeez. Manny, I'm sorry for having doubts.

For those of you who missed the fight and want to see it....here you go, all 9 rounds. ALL 9 ROUNDS ARE WORTH WATCHING...SERIOUSLY. I love how the commentators, at the beginning of the fight talk about how Manny "at 29 years old, may have seen his best years already" but by Round 2 they are comparing his performance to Muhammad Ali. That's right, Manny, show 'em.
So, anyway, for those of you interested, feel free to watch......
I like the talk about a possible Pacquiao-Hatton fight. Hatton is strong but if Diaz couldn't get over Manny's speed and Hatton was embarrased by Mayweather's speed....Hatton better turn down that offer. 
I wouldn't mind seeing a Marquez-Pacquiao III either. ![]()

Pacquiao-Hatton match would fun to watch if it will push threw
\m/
^ haha hell yeah......fun to watch Pacquiao destroy him like he did to Diaz. And even though I think Hatton is a better fighter than Diaz (also different weight class) I think Pacquiao would take him out even sooner than 9 because Hatton doesn't defend as well as Diaz. If Manny can move up another 5 pounds and be as good as he was last night....Hatton doesn't have a shot in this world of beating Pacman.

Finally Manny is now the first Filipino and only Asian to be a 4 time World Champ in 4 different divisions....
To Manny Congrats...

^Also, he's now the only Filipino fighter to ever hold a title in the lightweight division. Manny also said just yesterday that he would like to move up to light-welterweight for a fight against IBO champion Ricky Hatton. He's gunning for 5 titles in 5 different weight classes.
However, his promoter has said that he is very close to signing a deal for Manny to fight 130-pound champ Edwin Valero, another southpaw (24-0, 24 KO, #3 in Jr. Lightweight by The Ring Magazine) on November 8.

a rumored fight between the pacman and the golden boy by december would also be a great fight and by next year the pacman and the hitman is also a great thing to watch haha!
pacman vs golden boy - i think pacman is the underdog in their fight 
pacman vs hitman - the hitman is 1 of my favorite but im also want to win my fellow countrymen 

I think pacman can take out the golden boy..
Oscar dela Hoya is slower than he was before..
And I don't think he can keep up with pacman's speed.

the golden boy has a huge advantage in their weight class and also have the punch power 
pacman is at his prime and he has the advantage when it comes to speed 
i can wait for this 2 guys to slug it all out, who ever wins in their match for sure its a great thing to watch
