Oxnard?? ugh. the armpit of california .. no one liked vargas but a few idiots from oxballs..

this kid has talent but he has a lot of polish to work on. i hope to god they don't rush him in to big fights like they did with Vargas. say what you want about Vargas he is everything ppl think of him but he did have talent. they rushed him way to fast to the big bouts. give this kid 2 or 3 years before putting him in the big time

this guy has some real potential. im looking forward to watching him in the future.

It will be interesting to see how he does with top fighters. I agree with ryul do not rush him like Vargas. Vargas could have been a great fighter but got rushed. ortiz has bright future!

This guy already has a win against an ex-world champ (Carlos Maussa)...by first-round KO! I don't see the need to rush the guy into a world-title fight, but I agree with the author in that he's definitely ready to be tested by a top-10 fighter. Ngoudjo would be great! Malignaggi wouldn't be a bad fight for him either.

let pacman have at him...he'll destroy any mexicans in his way!!!!!

Please, you Filipinos act like Manny is invincible! He has three losses, he lost to Erik Morales after Morales and Barrera had beat the crap out of each other. All hes beat are Mexican fighters in the twilight of their careers. I can tell you this, Marquez is the only fighter out there right now that could beat Manny, oh wait, he has beat him but got robbed! I'll give Manny the first one! Antonio Margarito said it best after the fight....lucky that neither of these two guys was in the ring with me!

Pacman has only fought old runned down mexicans...let him have Juan Diaz...

It looks like he could be the next Oscar de la hoya. The golden Child that is!!!!!!!!

Manny is the Pound for Pound King in the World not only for his boxing skills and demolition of Future Hall of Famers like Oscar,Morales and Barrera, not to mention other boxing stars like Marquez and Diaz, but because of his heart,dedication, intensity and love for boxing. He doesn't back down on any fighters even maybe Bernard Hopkins.
He may not be the next Golden Child but he beats the hell out of oscar. Up next would be Ricky Hatton which I think is a better fight than dela hoya. No more mexican fighter is capable of giving our Pound for Pound King a serious fight. Barrera already acknowledged that he can't sustain Pacman's power and speed. Marquez wanted only to fight for money then eventually retire.
Manny Pacquiao is already a world class boxer compared to marquez and barrera who is ungentleman in and outside the ring!
VIVA PHILIPPINES!!!
VIVA PACQUIAO!!!

Im not a filipino but i think mexican boxers are boring fighters. U mexican people think that you produce great boxers where infact you produce boring, predictable boxer.SUCKS!!! Manny pacman is not boring at all,he is flashy,strong and smart. Compare to your barrera,marquez,morales LOL those boxers are as boring as julio caesar chaves LOL. Get a life you weirdo LOL.

Julio Cesar Chavez was as Tuff as you can get ...DelaHoya is good too ..so you cant knock MEXICAN Boxers. We give credit where credit is due Pacman is good he is in his prime.

I think he would of gave manny a better fight than oscar... after all he was the one that gave oscar a black eye during training camp...lol

Like it or not. Every fighter will have to go through a Mexican fighter to be considered great.
The Pacman is a great fighter who happens to be in an era where mexican fighters are the norm.
Go dogg out Brett Favre or Jay Cutler for picking on black cornerbacks too. Same logic.

All credit to Manny on this victory but let's call it like it is. The only true time Manny beat a Mexican boxer when he was considered to be on the top was Barrera. You all third world filipinos know he lost against Marquez, not only once but twice. There's a reason why Manny runs from him. He knows he's had two decisions go his way and he doesn't want to take the risk again. He understands a loss would kill his money train and that's a smart move but there will be a time when he has to face a badass like Margarito, Juan Diaz or even future stars like Ortiz. That's when we'll truly see the greatness of Pacman. Truth be told, I like Manny and his fighting style but until he fights someone in his true weight class (Marquez is naturally lighter) and prime fighter I will continue to believe he's been brought up accordingly by his management to look like a star. If he had a Mayweather or Juan Diaz in his resume I wouldn't be saying this but he doesn't. You third world filipinos can bask in the lime light for awhile but the day is fast approaching for Manny to hit the floor. Remember this amigos...

All you pac man lick a$$ess, your ride will soon come to an end so enjoy while it last!!!

Hopefully now we will start seeing him more often. Goldenboy doesn't like to promote their up and coming fighters for some weird reason.

rude dont know his boxing. rude dog, do watch boxing for the past 8years? we knew that pacquiao is not invinsible, no boxer is invinsible, but the fact that manny pacquiao is the pound 4 pound king is the proof that has the enormous skills required for being one. you say that when pacman beat the crap of morales and barrera they are already in their twilight of their career, how can you say that when barrera was just 29 back 2003, and after he was obliterated by pacman, he won his 3rd championship over morales, how can you say that pacman beat old guys, i dont agree to you with that. pacman prove his worth of the stature what he has now, he beaten future hall of famers. INCLUDING recently the great dela hoya. i think you dont know well pacman too much, your just like some press that said that pacman has no chance of beating oscar, but did you saw the fight? pacman sent dela hoya to retirement. in an imbarrassing way. oh you also said that marquez was rob of victory by pacman, how can you say that when marquez kissed the canvass 4 times in their fight? even the insurmountable 2 weight difference between pacman dela hoya did not bother pacman. he is indeed the POUND 4 POUND KING.
any issues rude dog? i think your owner dont watch boxing, stay away from it or you might be biten by the pacman.
MABUHAY PILIPINAS
MABUHAY PACQUIAO

us mexicans been there, done that, we had olivares, sanchez, and chavez, as our heros. They retired all boxers do, pacquiao will retire also, the difference is that filipino boxing will retire withi pacquiao, than what are u going to do, olivares went and came sanchez than chavez, barrera, morales,finito,marquez,chiquita gonzales,zaragoza,margarito and many more world champions, mexico currently has 11 current world champions, every time one of our heros goes another one comes along, thats how great mexican boxing is, even with loses of barrera, marquez and morales, mexican boxing is still in great shape, margarito just won the fight of the year, edgar sosa and ulises solis beat 4 filipinos during the year in title fights, mexican boxing is great, it always has been it will always be great

hey NONE... you dont know your boxing too, like rude dog. pacman being a 4 division champion is indeed the greatest here, does morales, marquez, barrera became 4 division champions? they didn't. for the fact that pacman is regarded as the pound 4 pound by REAL boxing experts, theres no reason for saving the asses of your countrymen. dont say that the Philippines is a third world country, because even if we live in a 3rd world country, we produced a champion, ohh, 4 division, pound 4 pound king like the pacman. does mexico produce 4 division champs? none. even the great ceasar chaves didnt have that distinction. so you NONE and RUDE DOG, stop from crying loud because your fighters are beaten up, be a true man, accept your defeat and stop having a close mind.
INTIENDES???

Wasn't this suppose to be about Victor Ortiz??? How the hell did this get on Pacquiao?
By the way, to guy who said Mexican fighters are boing,,,how long have you been following boxing? Or did you not even realize their was such a sport before Manny Pacquiao came along???
That wasn't a jab at Pacquiao by the way, he's great. But a true boxing fan who knows the sport would never say that Mexican fighters are all boring!
Anyway, back on topic...what about Ortiz???

ortiz is a very promising boxer. a fight with any top ten in the jr welter will be a good match to test ortiz's mettle.

This kid is no joke the next Mexican American pround and joy, did you guys hear he's the one that gave Oscar that black eye he had on that HBO 24/7 show and almost knocked his ass down during sparring.
