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.

It seems both fighters are good. I think Pancho Villa don’t have the same publicity that Manny had today. I always saw Manny’s “fight for the nation” on TV thats why i’ll vote for him and majority will. Simple.

Pancho Villa created a boxing world for filipinos. Many boxing heroes will come and go…but pancho villa emerges and will always a bases of comparison among boxing greats…
Manny Pacquiao, I considered him the most disciplined, hard working and dedicated sport hero.
