Juan Ma vs Tito

Papi a Juanma Lo quieren mas que a Cotto en PR. Cotto es mas famoso en USA, pero en PR, Juanma es el que es despues Tito. Es mas, aca en Jayuya, que el Boxeo no es rande, le han dedicado, 2 Maratones a Juanma y el Gimnasio va a llevar el Nombre de Juanma, Y Cotto nunca ha sido invitado a venir. De querer mas a Juanma te lo creo...pero Cotto sigue siendo mas popular en la isla. Ahora mas con lo que paso con el tio...estaba en la primera pagina del periodico Primera hora.

Why does Cotto get pushed aside? Is it his robotic personality? Ivan, JuanMa and Tito all strike me as likeable people, Cotto doesn't. I think it is his personality... The majority of the people here will say Tito is #1, then Cotto, Juanma and Calderon (the last two can be switched around depending who you ask). People from Caguas have come to like Juanma, and other municipals also, but he still hasn't passed Cotto's popularity here on the island.

you can't compare anyone with tito in puerto rico.

We have like 4 or 5 that were at the same Level, but Bazooka is the best for me and the majority, because he was unbeatable at 122, he had that Titles defenses by KO record, and his amateur career was as good as his pro career!!!!!!!!!!! tnx champ... a fight between bazooka & juanma @ 122 would be fvckin awesome...

Tito is number 1, Matter of facts, calderon gets a much love as Juanma right now. Juanma is no near the level of Tito. Its 1.Tito #1 2.Juama/Calderon 3.Cotto hey champ... who is the rican fighter your people regard as the greatest? tito, bazooka or benitez?

anyway Tito will be always #1 Yup, this is what I'm getting from all the posts. I have no problem with that. Tito, es numero uno!

que carajo tiene q ver ahora la politica con el boxeo? .. anyway Tito will be always #1 no abra Cotto ni Juanma q ocupe ese espacio nada le quita lo bueno q son Cotto y Juanma

Loco los fanaticos PNP quieren eso, aca hay muchos ciegos y vendios. Ahora PR nunca sera un estado porque los gringos no quieren que lo seamos. Estados Unidos nunca acogera a PR como un estado (eso es lo que me da tranquilidad a mi). Primero nos dan la patada por el culo antes de que seamos estado, y entiendo que eso es lo que mas nos conviene porque aunque nos las veremos negras al principio, nos veremos obligados a dejar la maldita dependencia que es lo que nos tiene jodios como estamos ahora mismo. Hasta aqui llego mi opinion politica, esto es de boxeo y no quiero discuciones politicas.

yeahh.. ironic!! no way..!! Puerto Rico will never be a state... mano estas seguro? yo no soy PNP y tampoco vivo en la isla, me crie en chicago por la mayoria de mi vida pero conozco a alguien que esta bien metio en los politicos de PR y el es PNP y siempre me esta ensenando lo que esta pasanda en la isla y parece que PR si puede ser un estado...ojala que no! he visto videos en youtube cuando Fortuno estaba corriendo y la gente bien loca con lo tumbacocos a to' que da y con la bandera americana en la mano....casi vomite cuando vi eso...

WTF???!! Get outta here, Tito a PNP??? Bullshit I dont see Tito going into the ring with a american flag. Socio, Tito es PNP eso lo sabe todo el mundo. El lo ha dicho en entrevistas y ha respaldado publicamente a candidatos del partido. Triste pero cierto jajajajajajaja

tito appeal to the nationalism .. and he was an open PNP... _partido nuevo progresista ( the party that looks for puerto rico to become a state) weird things... :lol1: i bet some of u didnt knew that ! :boxing: los boricuas somos unicos jajajaj WTF???!! Get outta here, Tito a PNP??? Bullshit I dont see Tito going into the ring with a american flag.

I just spoke to a couple of my Puerto Rican friends and they said that as much as they loved and respected Tito, the love they show towards Juan Ma cannot even compare. It's a different vibe they feel between Tito and Juan Ma. They say with Juan Ma, it goes even deeper than boxing. There is much more nationalistic pride at stake when Juan Ma goes into the ring, much more than any other champion in the history of PR. Mind you, this is only the opinion of 2 Puerto Ricans. Is this a true statement? is it because tito is a black man and juanma is light skinned??? j/k

I find that very hard to believe... Tito is a PROVEN fighter and future HOF. Juan Ma is JUST getting to the point of stardom and is possibly fighting his toughest opponent come this weekend. Cotto if anything is Puerto Rico's main focus as far as stars out of the country are concerned. Plus, Tito's adored by the majority of Puerto Ricans and is very prideful of Puerto Rico to say the least. In a few years we can possibly say the same about Juan Ma, but it's simply way too early. tito was a bad mothafucca!! what he did to reid and vargas' boxing careers was just ridiculous.

yeahh.. ironic!! no way..!! Puerto Rico will never be a state... Amen to that!!!

You mean to become part of the US? Ironic. Will they buy into just because Tito says so? yeahh.. ironic!! no way..!! Puerto Rico will never be a state...

ia pit bull pup Damn right. I just saw the Figueroa knockout and Whoa!!!

tito appeal to the nationalism .. and he was an open PNP... _partido nuevo progresista ( the party that looks for puerto rico to become a state) You mean to become part of the US? Ironic. Will they buy into just because Tito says so?

For now Tito #1, Cotto # 2, Juan ma #3 just pass Calderon#4 Interesting. # 2 and # 3 could switch, but Tito is still # 1.

na man... juanma doesnt appeal that much to nationalism as it was with tito... not that is not gonna happen.. but so far... tito still #1 after a few big wins... things might change.. but im gonna tell u is gonna be hard 2 do I had the same feeling because Tito was huge when he ruled top of the charts. I was thinking it's because Juan Ma is about to break out and be the next superstar and Tito has been inactive lately.
