Ring Magazine: Pacquiao barely keeps pound-for-pound crown
By Angelo Guitierrez (philstar.com)

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao remains The Ring Magazine’s No. 1 pound-for-pound king despite his controversial win over Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas this Sunday.

"Pacquiao survives as the RING's No. fighter by a hair," Ring Magazine's Michael Rosenthal said in a statement posted on The Ring's website.

Rosenthal said that the magazine's editorial board nearly declared the No. 1 pound-for-pound position vacant after Pacquiao’s "sub-par performance" during his fight with Marquez last Sunday.

"In the end, though, we decided to leave the pound-for-pound rankings as is for one simple reason: All but one member of the Ratings Advisory Panel who provided input and the entire RING Editorial Board believed it was the right thing to do," he said.

The No. 2 position is being held by Floyd Mayweather Jr. followed by Sergio Martinez and Nonito Donaire. Marquez is at No. 5.

Rosenthal said that they will consider putting Mayweather ahead of Pacquiao if he turns in an outstanding performance or if Pacquiao "stumbles again" in his next fight.

He said that they also considered moving Marquez up the rankings, but they could not because Mayweather, Martinez and Donaire "don't deserve to be demoted."

Meanwhile, Rosenthal said that The Ring hopes that Pacquiao and Mayweather will agree once and for all to a faceoff.

There are reports that the camps of Mayweather and Pacquiao are working for a May 2012 fight. Top Rank's Bob Arum, meanwhile, said that they are also working for a fourth fight between Pacquiao and Marquez on the same date.

Rosenthal also enumerated several considerations that The Ring's editorial team considered in keeping Pacquiao's pound-for-pound king title.

• Pacquiao wasn’t fighting a chump. Marquez is the No. 5 fighter in the world pound for pound. And Pacquiao beat him, at least officially.- A great fighter shouldn’t necessarily be demoted because another great fighter has his number. We didn’t think less of Muhammad Ali because he had trouble with Ken Norton three times. The same with Willie Pep and Sandy Saddler in their series.
• A fighter shouldn’t necessarily be demoted because he has an off night, if that’s what it was on Saturday. Sergio Martinez didn’t look great against Darren Barker but no one clamored for him to be demoted.
• Pacquiao has accomplished more than Mayweather in recent years. The Filipino is 9-0 against big-name opponents since the beginning of 2008; Mayweather is 3-0 in that time.
• Mayweather isn’t exactly coming off a sterling performance. He looked good against Victor Ortiz for three-plus rounds but scored a knockout when Ortiz wasn’t looking.
• And you can’t say that Mayweather should supplant Pacquiao because hedefeated Marquez more easily. That doesn’t take into account styles and strengths. Plus, Pacquiao beat Ricky Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya more easily than Mayweather did.

Lolong . . . from the land of the greedy!

They said that Lolong was the biggest crocodile in the world and that we are very proud of it, as we are again recognized in the Guinness World Record.

I don't know how to consider these kind of things. . .

When the time comes that a new record for the biggest croc's was overcome by other countries, definitely, Philippines will lost the records.

So I think it's not really that big deal.

We Filipinos cheered every time we set a record or we become renown even from these petty things that happened around us. Maybe that is the reason why we are called as the most happiest people in the world, we always smile, do parties and laugh even on small things. . .

So I think it's not really that big deal.

We Filipino's laugh on small things because we think small. . .
We party too much because we are one day millionaires. . .
We are called the happiest people in the world, because we don't face and solve our problems. . .

So I think it's not really that big deal.

Well, I think we only used this as a defense mechanism, to avoid the pain brought about by worst scenarios and tragedy from our Country. Maybe because of the corrupt and greedy politicians and the disparity of the poor and the rich is getting wider. Philippines are, for decades are always in depression in the economic cycle.

So I think it's not really that big deal - That Lolong was the biggest crocodile in the world, because he was only a product of the worst crocodile in the Philippines - the last administration. A family of crocodiles.

Only in the Philippines that a former President is being convicted by graft and corruption because of Jueteng, and almost again won for presidency.

Here is the best part. . .A former president, being investigated for tons of corruption charges, get sick suddenly, and being allowed to go abroad. . . (& possibly not comeback again and seek political asylum to countries with no extradition law).

So I think it's not really that big deal that we are recognized for having the biggest crocodile, because what the Guinness records can't see are the crocodiles here in the Philippines bigger and more greedy that Lolong.

I already saw other of my fellowmen who are now trying to recoup from our lost. Marami narin ang nagigising, sa mga nangyayari satin, pero matagal din ang panahon na kelangan para magamot ang sugat, matagal, dahil malalim na ang sugat.

This is not actually a political propaganda against GMA. . . ang hirap na kasi magtiwala sa isang tao na marami ng nagawang mali at kasakiman.

I can now clearly remember the story of the boy who cried wolf!

Pacquiao the Filipinos' Dark Knight!

During my college days, my professors in Sociology and in Rizal, described Manny Pacquiao as the common-day hero of the Filipinos, because every time that he fights inside the ring, the Filipino people stops and everybody's eyes are with Pacman! With Zero-crime rate and streets are almost deafening for its peacefulness.

The Pinoy's unites, not because we are totally separated as a country, but for one goal and one heart - to have Pacman win and give glory to our mother nation.

Manny even said: If I have to fight everyday, for the unity of our people as one nation, I will Fight!

But yesterday, November 13, 2011 PH time, the Philippine Nation was divided in their opinion who won match in the third installment of the Pacquiao-Marquez Trilogy.

Most of the analyst told that Marquez won, because he controls the game, he beats Pacquaio; Even various commentators and sports analyst in the US commented on their tweeter accounts that they felt that Pacquiao won. Well, even their main profile pictures are with Manny posing with them.

I don't know, but it's a majority decision by the judges, it could have been more controversial if it were a split decision. The world see's a different side, each one of us is entitled to our own opinion. Well I guess, We Filipino's already saw the greatness of Pacquiao that a win for Manny Pacquaio is having an English knocked-out in the middle of the ring, a Mexican with a blown face, and bloodshot eyes, an American boxer who jogs away from him, or a Malaysian knocked down within minutes, without us even feeling the tense.

Yet, speaking of being unfair and injustice as a line of the box yesterday, I will still stand with Manny, never had I become that well-versed with boxing nor had a chance to study the in's and out's of the sport. I will stand with Manny, because I am still a Filipino, Proud Pinoy ika nga. Let me reiterate to my fellowmen that this is not crab mentality which we Pinoy's are famous for, this more of us being a nation for a warrior who fought for us to keep us united.

What the hell if he didn't box at his best yesterday? What the hell if he doesn't know-out Juan Manuel Marquez yesterday? What the hell IF HE DIDN'T BOX THE WAY YOU WANT HIM TO?

One of my friend even posted on her facebook account before the Manny-Marquez bout: I hope matalo naman si Pacquaio, para malaman natin if he is man enough to accept defeat.

Natawa nalang ako, ang babaw naman nya. Hindi naman to laban ni Pacquiao lang eh, laban natin to bilang isang nation, diba lalo na kapag nanalo siya? e, kapag talo, are we man enough as a nation to accept defeat? laban natin to Pinas!

We don't have to be separated again because of the performance he showed yesterday, let's keep united, protect the dark knight as one nation, the Mexicans will not take refuge for Pacman, nor other nation, only us na pango ang mga ilong at kayumanggi ang kulay. Si Pacman lang ang sumuntok at namaga ang mukha, pero satin parin ang karangalan dahil naukit tayo sa boksing dahil sa kanya ('di lang dahil sa Joe Frazier and Mohammad Ali Fight).

Pacquiao - Marquez 4? Why not. . .walang problema sakin. . .hindi dahil controversial talaga. . .gusto ko lang matahimik ang karamihan sa inyo, mawala ang mga agam-agam niyo sa Pinoy's Champ!

Para sayu ang laban na tu!

Nakakahiya naman para sa isang boksingero na nakipaglaban para sayo, tapos, pagdududhan mo pagkatapos ng laban. Tama naman na hindi maganda ang nilaro ni Pacman. Pero lumabas naman ang resulta, panalo talaga siya. Maybe most of us are perplexed with the outcome, maybe Manny himself too.

"All I know, plainly and straight, Pacquiao won because he showed the heart and performance of a Champion, He remains aggressive when Marquez should be as JMM is the challenger."

The Apple of my Eyes

Its very unusual that looking back when I was in 1st year high school, I was involved in a scandal of cell phone stealing of a classmate of mine. A Nokia 3310 phone which at that time considered as the trend! The Hip! The In! Well it turned out later on that the person who accused me was the one who actually stole the 3310. 10Years later, who would have known it that I will be publishing my blog using a phone? yeah! while lying on the bed. the apol of my eyes! My Samsung s3850. Hope it will be posted, just keep up with it. Who knows that I might be posting my next kwento using this. ang ganda talaga ng Filipina, parang mansanas na nakakatibok ng puso! one. . . two. . . three. . .

Few of the Best Lines

It changes his singing career from that point, popularity increasing dramatically from being part of the boyband "Take that." Which until now releasing his own albums.

I wanna know
whoever told you I was letting go
the only joy I have ever known
Girl that lyin. . .

(Swear it Again by Westlife)

These boys who started in 1998, conquered the record of being the longest boy band who sang for 14 years before splitting in the year 2012 in the hype of their success.
