Manila Standard Today and Philboxing writer Ronnie Nathanielsz has clarified a line in his recent article on Pacquiao's former sparring partner Glen Tapia winning his bout in New York on the undercard of the Cotto-Margarito rematch.
In the article, Nathanielsz wrote "Former pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao?s sparring partner Glen Tapia..." in the opening paragraph which some readers have interpreted to mean that Nathanielsz was calling Pacquiao as a "former pound for pound king."
Nathanielsz explained in his e-mail to us:

Nathanielsz sent a corrected version of the line below:
"The former sparring partner of Ring Magazine's pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao, Glen Tapia..."
