Who are better Boxers? Filipino / Mexican?
156746
based on curent track records for the top ranked Mexican and Filipino boxers, I'd have to argue for Filipino (of course I'm biased since I'm Filipino).\n\nManny Pacquiao is regarded as one of the best Filipino boxers currently and though there are some doubts on his win-loss record, he has proven to "outbox" the likes of Erik Morales (Manny is so far the only person to have knocked him down), Hector Velasquez, and Juan Marquez. All of whom are higly regarded Mexican (Hispanic) boxers.

Tough question, Ali definetly had an Aura about him and broke some significant color barriers but in terms of the best fighter/boxer I would have to agree with the choice of Sugar Ray, his talent was unmatched.

Great match up! Two all time greats. Arguello had that stand up style. He would get leverage by punching down at his opponents, as he was very tall for his weight class. Arguello also had heavy hands and could bang with the best of them. Duran in my opinion is one of the best ten boxers ever and an absolute animal, virtually unbeatable at lightweight. Duran would pressure Arguello as Pryor did. He would work Arguello's body, watch video of Duran while moving in he kept his upper body moving, making him hard to hit (a master at rolling with punches). As great as Arguello was I don't think he could deal with Duran's constant pressure. Duran wins by unanimous decision, due to his high work rate.

The Pacman came from my country, the Philippines. Born Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao, he beat Erik "El Terible" Morales in The Battle, in Las Vegas this last Saturday. He won by T.K.O. by the tenth round, redeeming himself after the last fight he had with the El Terible from Tijuana, Mexico.

My personal favorite is Erik Morales, but he has so many great fights behind him now that they may have included his best. Morales is the more skilled of the two with slightly faster hands and a bit more skill. However, Pacquiao is a fresher fighter who has proved that he has more power.\n\nTop Rank has already penciled in the rubber match for September 16th, so we'll see then who comes out on top at last. Based on their last fight, it would look like Pacquaio might win again, but I'm leaning towards Morales being able to outbox him so long as he gets enough rest before then.

Ruben Olivares has to be the best Mexican Boxer ever. He had a lot of big fights, too. I'd have to say maybe when Ruben Olivares fought with Felipe González (I had to look up his name!) at Mexicali.

Pound-for-pound? This is a tough call. Yes, Mayweather is more technically savvy and a more complete fighter than Pacquiao. He is an excellent fighter and everyone knows that already, especially those who had the misfortune of facing him inside the ring. HIs last fight was a real clinic from start to finish, with the Pretty Boy simply outclassing his strong but slow opponent and as a result, the decision was never in doubt even from round 1. On the other hand, Pacquiao's last fight showed how much he has improved through the years, from a one-dimensional, power-punching lefty to a clever, shifty two-fisted bomber. And the scary thing is that he seems to be continuing to improve some more.  There is no denying Mayweather's skill in the same way that the PacMan's power is already a given. But between the two, I would have to choose Pacquiao because of his ability to IMPROVE his game and complement his power with some slick in-ring moves. I was particularly impressed with the way he defended against a barrage of Morales' punches by leaning on the ropes, sliding quietly to his left and then, BOOM, unleashing a crunching left hook as he moved away from a stunned El Terrible. That was the move that put fear in Morales' eyes, for he just found out how much the PacMan has improved.. and it's a whole painful lot (which also says a lot about the talent and discipline of the Filipino icon). Apart from that, and from a spectator's point of view, which one do I really want to watch: an informative, deliberate boxing documentary or an edge-of-your-seat boxing suspense-thriller? Im gonna go with Pacquiao's suspense thriller, where every second in the ring counts and you absolutely have no idea when, where or how the fight's gonna end.

Pound for Pound, these are the guys:\n\n1) Floyd Mayweather Jr. - WBC Super Lightweight Champ\n2) Winky Wright - Undisputed Super Welterweight Champ\n3) Manny Pacquiao - Super Featherweight\n4) Marco Barrera -  WBC Super Featherweight\nChamp\n5) Ricky Hatton IBF - Super Lightweight Champ\n6) Jermain Taylor - Undisputed Middleweight Champ\n7) Bernard Hopkins - Light Heavyweight \n8) Oscar De La Hoya - WBC Super Welterweight Champ\n9) Antonio Margarito - WBO Welterweight Champ\n10) Joe Calzaghe - WBO/IBF Super Middleweight Champ\n\nMayweather is #1....No question about it.

I agree Marvin Hagler had the best chin in boxing, the only time he got wobbled was against Hearns for a split second in the first round of their terrific fight and he went in with some decent punchers. He was never knocked down properly the only time he took a count was when he slipped against Roldan.

Interesting question here, yet i find the answers even more interesting (actually ODD is the word i'm looking for)... I would say Hopkins and here are my reasons for that answer:\n1. All but Mayweather have campained as a middleweight.\n2. Of those three middies, Hopkins holds wins over both Trinidad & Oscar.\n3. Bernard had (hopefully still when he tangles w/ Tarver) the ability to mix up his style. He completely befuddled Tito Trinidad by boxing. Trinidad & handlers assumed Hopkins would just bully Tito around the ring which would eventually lead to Trinidad walking Hopkins down. That didnot happen. Bernard boxed brilliantly, and as usual, did use some of his bullying tactics when Tito became so completely frustrated and unglued, leading to a KO victory for Bernard. Against the boxer Oscar, Bernard boxed, intimidated, and outpunched his opponent. The guy can make adjustments in the ring that other fighters cannot make. Eventually he will make his opponent fight the fight HE wants them to fight.\n3. If Floyd were to fight Hopkins, I'm sure the prognosticators would say Mayweather would use speed to frustrate Hopkins. However, I think Bernard would have Mayweather backing up the whole fight, using questionable bullying tactics to frustrate and intimidate Floyd.\n\nAs far as dudes from the past fighting these four now, man, imagine the possibilities:\nIn my opinion Marvin Hagler would beat Oscar by using a southpaw stance, counterpunching, making Oscar go backwards, and eventually wearing him out w/ brutal bodyshots. Hagler by late TKO.\nHagler would probably KO Trinidad by the 5th round. Tito would be his own worst enemy here. He only knows how to fight coming forward, therefore Hagler wouldn't have to look for him or chase him down, as he did against Ray Leonard.\nHopkins against Hagler would be one for the ages. Ask no quarter, give no quarter. In the end, I would say this one is a draw.\nNow for PBF. I would LOVE to see him fight a PRIME "Sweet Pea" Pernell Whitaker. Floyd thinks he has speed, but Whitaker was absolutely amazing. Many fights have been so onesided that one fighter can claim not to have lost a single round. I recall watching Pernell go through an entire fight w/o losing a minute against grade-A, top notch, quality fighters. His defense, speed, and ability to get under an opponent's skin would allow him to win a one sided unanimous decision. \nGreat question, man!

Amy im not being funny but is this a joke question, you probably do know your boxing and meant to type Erik Morales from Mexico because Oscar Larios has proved that he cant do it.\nAnd even then Manny Pacquiao is gonna destroy Erik " El Terrible" Morales once and for all.

Right now, I would have to say Floyd Mayweather, Jr. He is fighting all of the big name opponents and beating them. His opponents were no slouches such as: Angel Manfredy, Arturo "Thunder" Gatti, Sharmba Mitchell, Jose Luis Castillo, and Diego Corrales. He is also slated to fight Zab Judah this April and also Ricky Hatton by the end of the year. There is no doubt that he is the best boxer out there right now, pound-for-pound. He will fight anybody, anywhere, anytime.

The odds are very much in favor of Manny Pacquiao, a sports icon in his home country the Philippines.  Manny has won all his fights against tough opponents since losing the first bout against Erik Morales. On the hand, Erik, nicknamed "El Terrible", was a terrible loser in two of his most recent bouts, including the one against Manny.   Manny is on a surge, while Erik is slipping away.  Erik, who has to shed off over 10 lbs for this bout, needs a miracle to stop Manny's onslaught.
