THAT was the interesting question posed by a caller on Canada’s “In this Corner with Russ Anber” boxing show.
View the YouTube video clip to find out Anber’s answer.
How about you, do you agree?
Pancho Villa’s real name, by the way, was Francisco Guilledo. Here’s a video of his June 18, 1923 fight with Jimmy Wilde for the vacant world championship, courtesy of the same YouTube user who uploaded the previous clip.

Some Filipinos have a penchant for wasting their time putting down their fellowmen.
No matter what your opinion may be, I suggest you just keep it to yourself (especially negative ones) and let`s rally as one nation and one race behind our successful fellowmen like Pacquioa, to serve as our inspiration to rise beyond our own failures to finally achieve the unity that we as a nation has been longing for a long time.
Rightly or wrongly if a Filipino`s pride is at stake we must unite and show all and sundry that the Filipino is not only worth dying for but worth figthing for as well.

Pancho Villa and Elorde. Truly legends and natural and professional. They also boxed when sport really wasn’t touched by big business. Now in today’s era many matches are fixed…the money counts in the end for the boxers in today’s match, then it creates false stars and champions.
Z Gorres and Boom Boom Bautista are also current favorites of mine - very natural, professional and talented but they aren’t tools of the media or politico (Good thing, they’re too good!), which is why they aren’t as exposed. PR can come into play. But that’s not sport. Sport should be on its own, and the term “hero” has to remain pure and away from these things.
