When I say some I mean SOME not ALL. But it just irks me a lot that some Puerto Ricans are so sucked into their nationality that they let their pride cloud their boxing judgement.
When Felix Trinidad was big and dominate everyone knew he was a great champion. But the way some Ricans thought about him in some of his fights were mind boggling.
When he fought Bernard Hopkins a lot of Ricans were saying "Hopkins is gonna get killed" "Tito is gonna knocked him out" "Who is Bernard Hopkins", I was like are you serious? I give Tito a chance but to completely discredit a guy like Hopkins is crazy especially with his defensive skills. They did the same thing when he fought Winky Wright and even more boggling they thought Roy had ZERO chance.
I thought Cotto was gonna beat Tony as well but the way my friends where talking about Tony was crazy. Saying sh!t like he was gonna get knocked out, I mean I thot Cotto would win but I knew that Tony had a great chin, great stamina, and performed well against a lot of credible opponents.
Now that the Juanma train is started to roll i'm hearing Ricans have that same talk again.
Even on here some of you guys are talking like Juanma would wipe the floor with Marquez and Vasquez.
I mean I would give him a shot too but dam its Vasquez and Marquez, did you not just see them fight?? There resume aint just Figueroa's and Medinas.
I dont want to make it look like i'm just beefin with Ricans, trust me I got mad love for PR and both my best friends is Ricans, and I got no problem ya support ya fights, as a matter of fact I think its so cool that a parade of Ricans be greeting fighters at the airports, I can only imagine how Tito and Cotto and whoever feel when they get that love.
I'm just saying dont just think ya man is gonna win 100 percent without doing some research.
I mean during the Cotto-Margarito saga, a lot of Ricans were makin the case to fight Floyd and the mexicans on here were like, hold on dont count out Tony. and we saw what happen.
Like I said not no beef wit no race but after last night's win, some of my Rican homies were sayin sh!t like Juanma could move up and beat Pac Man, i'm like :wtf:
I dont know men. All of the sudden this famous chicks. Like to do this sex private viedos for fun. Look at Belinda. I dont think Jacky is that classy either!!!!!
don omar is one lucky bastard i'll tell u that much.
no pero vi el primera. esa mujer si te deja.se lo meten hasta en los oidos.
:rofl: I didn't see this until I checked all the pages in this thread. :rofl:
¡Que bochinche!
Yea I understand perfectly, the problem I have is some "hardcore Puerto Rican fans" discredit them for losing one fight and abandon them in the dark.
There was a stupid article in the newspaper not long ago about a person saying the Puerto Rican people were never going to forgive Cotto for taking that knee instead of fighting till the end. Another one was about how Juanma was going to be the next big thing, because now that Cotto lost a fight, there isn't as much demand for him as it was when he was undefeated.
That pisses me off to no end. I understand it happens, and I can sort of feel it around some circles around where I live, but it's ridiculous...seriously.
People who say this kind of stuff don't have an important opinion to begin with and should be ignored. I'm not talking about you Skylight:fing02:, I'm talking about those who abandon their fighters after a single loss. It's stupid! The kind of people who do that aren't boxing fans to begin with. Cotto lost, yeah...is he garbage? No! Was he competitive? Of course he was! Did he take a beating? Sure. But did he put up a fight? As much as he could!
Hell, I hate it when casual boxing fans (over here) nuthug Tito and say Tito this and Tito that...I'm sure Trinidad was bigger then as probably Cotto will ever be in terms of fame and legacy...but that's not to say Cotto is a bum (or "porqueria" as they would say here).
I never said Cotto would obliterate Margarito, I always thought Margarito had a chance at Cotto.
But sometimes people who discredit these fighters after their first loss don't consider the way in which they lost, the fight that they put up and just care about the win, no matter how it is gained. Cotto could've taken a beating for 11 rounds, then won by disqualification and they'd be celebrating as if Cotto woul've won by knockout. Hell, I admit it...I'd probably be celebrating, too but I wouldn't be too happy about it after the initial euphoria.
I'd be willing to bet that some of the fanatical puertorricans blindsided by Tito Trinidad are the ones that didn't care about Cotto-Judah, Cotto-Mosley, Mayweather-Hatton (Mayweather a potential opponent for Cotto at the time)...no....BUT they did order Trinidad vs. Jones...and it did bigger numbers in PR than Cotto-Judah or Cotto-Mosley which is just absolutely pitiful at how they don't see what matters. To some, it's just the win on the record, the zero on the losses, and the nostalgia from the "good ol' days".
Anyone who thought Tito had a chance against Jones was foolish...
It's okay to think whatever you want to think, as long as you can give a valid reason behind your belief that "x" outcome will occur. If not, you're just talking out of where the sun doesn't shine!
BTW, don't drop fighters just because of one loss, boxing itself has high standards, but these type of people place them in a nearly God-like pedestal. To them:
Mayweather= GOD
Juanma=near GOD
Cotto= crap. He quit.
Leonard=ewww! Look at all them losses!
Ray Robinson= king of bums!
See? It's nice to have that zero, but just because you don't have it doesn't mean you're automatically garbage. I'd like to add some casual boxing fans are okay and understanding, but there are some that are just so negative with the sport that they get bored with it and need it to be WWE-like. In other words, an epic, bloody, spectacle from start to finish like a pro-wrestling match...:chairshot
Sorry, I got riled up there. :sad:

The Post
Damn, this post makes me want to go kick it in Puerto Rico and just chill with the gente and talk boxing.
.....We're very proud people in the lsland, and very hospital when you visit. Boxing in Puerto Rico is what Football is in the states. Ask your PR friends, they'll tell you.
Ratio
It's just PRIDE......I can understand your frustration, but you must look at it from our point of view. We're a nation of +/- 14 million Puerto Ricans in the world vs our greatest and best competition...the Mexican Nation of +/- 160 million in the world. Please give me the ratio on that, so just let the rival continue peacefully and with respect.
hahahahahaha kids these days.
hey what happened to the guy on ur sig? i hear he got KTFO. hahahahaha.
Atleast he went out on his back like a warrior. Cotto took a knee and quit. :bottle:
I have to admire Cotto though, atleast he isn't planning on retiring after he beat Jennings like Tito did against Chiefri or whatever that guys name was.

friends? :)
No, your mother lied. You are not half PR. Watch that fight again... Tito BLOCKED A LOT of those Calzaghe shot DLH was throwing. Add to that the marathon Oscar ran for the last 5 rounds... and you have a compellng case for a Tito win.
Buncha faggs.
Embarrassing...
No because you are a sensitive cunt who gets offended whenever someone says something like Trinidad or Cotto would lose to someone and resort to calling them names. For example, the guy who doesn't like Tito or Cotto, you call a trader and a Floyd cumguzziler.
Of course, that might have just been someone else hacking your account again right :lol1: HELP HELP! MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED! AYUDME!! :lol1:
