a rivalry can and most likely will develope
but ur askin about the present
and at the moment
their is no rivalry
u need an amry to go to war
right now
they just got one soldier
the rest are still in training
Im sorry but the kind of rivalery that Mexicans and Puerto Ricans is why higher then that of the Mexican against Philipine boxers, Puerto Rico and Mexico have had many, many, many, encounters so in order for the a new rivalery to take over another one it would have to erase history, and in order to do that you would need years and years and the amount of Philipine boxers that make it down to the US to fight would have to increase drastically. Im not doubting the fact that in some year we will probably see way more Philipine boxers, but Mexico and Purto Rico will always have the rivalery set way higher then any one else out there in the world its (in a weird way) set in stone (imo).
coz PR and Mexico is closer to the US. Had the Philippines geographically close the the US, it would have been different.
i agree that mex vs piony arent rivals liek mex/pr but now with more and more piony guys comign like boom boom, and violra isnt it, soon there will be a set amount of piony stars and u guys ( mex/PR/Piony) do have fighters that are around from flyweight-super feather most often, Pac beating morales and MAB could just be the start of something else, who knows it could be a 3 way brawl with pionys fighting PRs and such
I dont see the rivalry..Fine PacMan beat 3 top Mexican fighters but who else is there?..and it doesnt get ugly like when PR and Mex. fight. Example Vargas blowing his nose with the PR flag..it gets ugly when you pit a Mexican and a Puerto Rican theres alot of pride there..tempers fly..
that fukker did that? kill him mosley.

That just disrespect, yall never see a Pinoy doing that. Right now its just Pacquiao, but the undercurrent of Pac's success is doing pretty well againts Mexico. Ain't no denying we are getting the shots in American and Mexican soil that we never got. Time will tell.

No need to get defensive. Nobody is questioning Mexico vs. Puerto Rico. Yall both made history with your rivalry. The question isn't about the past though. It is about the present and it is obvious who is knocking at your door. If yall don't want to accept that, Its all good. Y'all can't ignore it for too much longer.
lets get serious
this "mexican/pinoy rivalry" only stretches from feather to super feather
not even
it only reaches from pac to em to mab to jmm
thats it
mexican vs PR is a genuine rivalry
u can pic most any weight class and have a good mexican pr match up
sry
but the pinoys have a long way to go before they can go to war with mexicans in boxing
theyve taken their 1st step
"conquered" a weight class
but boxing is more then just featherweight
Good point couldnt of said it better!
Mexican Vs Puerto ricans Hands down!!! I been and both inviroments and its gets crazy with mexicans and boricuas and with the pinoy's its just diffrent their just nice quite people, their not gettying all drunk wanting to fight.
Its the quiet people you gotta worry about lol. I went to both Marquez and Morales I and it was very civilized. I heard with Morales /Pac 2 it was rowdier. I heard they were already getting rowdy in the press con and after the fight, my friend went, he said there were some dudes who were getting into it. Don't know what the diffence was except the crowd was more 50/50 this time around. Hope it does not get worse though because I enjoy not having to watch my back in a live fight.

When that Mexican fighter went to the P.I. to fight boom boom, he got nothing but love. I think it was the same when Pacquiao went to Mexico to promote the fight. It is only in the U.S. that the fans get kinda disrespectful. When I watched that Mayol fight I was scared for the guy when he started to show off by taunting Trejo and waving those giant flags around the ring when he won. I actually heard the crowd applauding Mayol. Hopefully the rivalry remains civilized and nobody gets hurt. In the rematch of Morales and Pac I heard there were some scraps after the fight and it was just as much Pinoy as Mexicans who were taunting.
I will have to agree, U.S. and Europe have the most hateful fans in the world.
But Europe takes it to the next level when it comes to soccer. I saw this documentary when soccer fans throw banana peels and do monkey chants whenever a black player gets the ball. And some fans even have the Nazi flags on, and what's astonishing is that it still exists now.

There's absolutely NO rivalry of any kind with Filipinos. Real Pinoy fight fans NEVER hate on any fighters regardless of ethnicity unlike the Mexicans and PR.
Of course, they like their fighters more but they never dislike or hate the opposing fighter. If you watch any fights held in the Philippines, you will not hear any boos to the foreign fighter.
Thats good sportsmanship........ :boxing:
I think the P.I. vs. Mex rivalry is heating up quite a bit. Whe you start seeing Filipino boxers on Mexican television stations and they are winning in front of Mexicans, the rivalry can only heat up. I think executives are seeing $$$ signs. There is even talk of DLH setting up a night of just Pinoys vs. Mexicans. Someone just found out that the Filipinos have a sizable market, hence more American promoters looking for Pinoys to showcase their talent here in the U.S. and if it is againts a Mexican it seems like the media, specially the Philippine Media, eats it up more.
