The last fight is the only one that Velez has looked good! Either he's really learning the ropes or the low quality of his last opponent made him look great!I still have my reservations and will much rather see him fight one more time before throwing him to the wolves, aka, Ponce De Leon!

I know people are gonna say oh why you using the race card" or "this aint about black fighters" or "you think about race too much".All that is just a loophole people gonna use.
Seriously! Does everything has to do with race to you?

Putting this to bed!
Ok guys there are MILLIONS of Puertoricans BORN in the US who are Ricans no matter what!
Here is what I have for you......WORLD famous Mexican singer Luis Miguel was born in San Juan PR his parents are full Mexicans is he Rican??? NO!
He is 100% Mexican! You are from where your parents are from. If your parents are from PR and you are born in Japan does that make you Japanese??? NO NO AND NO!!
Dannys parents are Puertorican and so is Danny, his blood is Rican and so is his culture regardless if he follows it or not knows a thing about it. That wont stop the Rican blood stream or make him American. By the way ALL PRicans are born American citizens so whats the point.
Like it or not DLH is Mexican and yes full blooded! Many Mexicans move to US never returning back and their kids are born and raised here that wont stop them from being Mexicans, same goes with Ricans, Italians and any other race born here not of the native American Indian culture who are the real Americans!
Has Danny been embraiced by Ricans? You can bet anything you want we are claiming him because simply he is Rican, he has NO American blood on him or does he??
By the way I was born in PR raised in Brooklyn NY and PA. for almost all my life. I am 100% Rican and proud of it, ***** I feel more Rican than the ones living, born and raised back at my island!
BTW some of my favorite fighters:
Tyson
Sugar Ray Leonard
Marvin Hagler
Diego Corales
Wilfredo Gomez
Wilfredo Benitez
Michael Carbajal
Macho Camacho
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Miguel Cotto
George Foreman
Felix Trinidad
Finito Lopez
I follow the sport not the race. I do wish the best to my people and root for them.

Beat me to it.
His parents lived in Mexico; is about it.
Luis Miguel is pretty much a mutt.

Originally posted by Exciterx24 View PostYeah, it's like Miguel Bosé, the famous singer from Spain. His father was also from Spain, mother was Italian and he was born in Panama. Interesting how some have such a melting pot. Then again, we Puerto Ricans are the product of a melting pot ourselves.
Diego Corrales is another example.
Colombian dad, Mexican mom, and born in the States.

Still Luis Miguel is not Rican and that was my point.
