is it resonable to call Manny Pacquiao a Filipino hero?

Juan Manuel Marquez. He did it before, he'll do it again. It's reasonable to call him a hero if you're Filipino anywhere else he called a average fighter with a very one dimensional style.
To the guy/ girl below. I know it was a "Draw" but any boxing fan with a half a brain could see the Manny really lost that fight and was given a gift "Draw"
Thanks for the question Cloyd.

Manny "pacman" paquiao is a true ring warrior, he's more like a Filipino living legend than hero, even thought he's not pound for pound rated best boxer on the planet he's no 1 in my book, as for Juan Manuel Marquez, pacman will take him if they meet again,they don't call him "Mexican assassin" for nothing that's right he's fights and beats the best and toughest Mexicans, I'll also think that Barrera would have K.O.ed Marquez only for Nady the woeful ref, maybe pacman will be defeated in the future but not just yeah,

Marquez seems to be the biggest obstacle to Pacquiao being universally recognized as the worlds best little man.
Manny is a hero, and not just in the Philippines, but quite possibly all of Asia. A couple people in America have noticed him as well.

I am a Filipino and Manny is my hero. Regarding your question, anyone can beat Manny Pacquiao. There are many fighters capable of defeating Manny. You have Barrera, you have Marquez, and you have Morales, too. Hell, Solis is capable of beating Pacquiao. It's not about CAN anyone beat him, it's about how he can be beaten. Anyone can be beaten by anyone. The great Willie Pep was beaten by Sandy Saddler three times. Tyson, who was supposed to win the fight with Douglas got beaten.
Manny cannot afford to skip his training. You can only be good if you train. If the timing is right, and destiny has it for you, you will be beaten.

Yes it is reasonable to call Pacquiao a Filipino hero. The Filipino's rally around Manny. Juan Manuel Marquez is quite capable. Pacman, Marquez is and has been waiting for you..............................

All due respect to Santana D. Dude in case you didnt see it, it was a draw.
Now on the person that could defeat the Pacman. Most of you guys say, Marquez could do it. He probably could after all he is WBC's champ. He can definitely hold his own against Pacquiao w/ his own brand of boxing.
Inside the IBF I don't think anyone could do it. Hands down.

These questions are ranked from best to worst answers? How the hell is Santana's answer at the top? Just because he is one of the top 5 answerers? That was a horrible answer. How in God's name can you possibly call Pacquiao average? He is far from average, he fights and stops the best, and is the most exciting fighter in the game, how is that average? Anyways, I do agree that maybe Marquez could beat him, although Pac has improved since the first fight and is not as predictable. But Marquez did not win the first fight. I had Pac winning by two points, but it was officially a draw so we'll have to wait for the rematch.

He is a hero in the Philippines, that is to the people of the Philippines. He can be beaten, and will be. It is a matter of time. Most boxers can not quit, but hang around long after their skills have gone because of age. The reason we have fights is because we do not know the outcome before the fight, other wise there would be no need to have the fight.

that's what fantastically BROKE Gayweather of the Kentucky FLOYD fowl does till now he fights somebody.it truly is to psyche-out the enemy till now the combat and Arum is familiar with that so they did not take the bait and in simple terms enable him bypass faraway from the combat. Now PBF is left devoid of money and is scheduled to combat with Campbell that's quite humorous because of the fact human beings do not even comprehend Campbell who even struggled to combat at Jr.Welterweight.that's truly humorous because of the fact Gayweather fought JMM w/o making the mandatory weight. What an @SS

Juan Manuel Marquez
I think he's the only one right now. Maybe if Barrera and Morales would train harder and the right way, they could take him down this time, thou Barrera has only 2-3 years left. These 4 fighters are the best right now in this weight division.
