Pacquiao/Cotto may start Philippines/Pueto Rico boxing rivalry

I made this thread ages ago...

Maybe it will. But for now I think it's Puerto Rico vs Mexico.

how about Lopez vs Penalosa?? Lopez is the next big star in Puerto Rico. The Peñalosa fight gave Lopez a lesson that he can not put all men down. Penalosa is older and a natural bantamweight, but his boxing skills and conditioning helped him not hit the canvass despite the punishment Lopez has inflicte on him.... I am sure Lopez will have a hard time with Bernabe Concepcion or Michael farenas. Rodel Mayol will beat Ivan Calderon in my opinion, unless Ivan gets a Juan Diaz type of victory in his hometown.

Are you sure Cotto vs Margarito is more exciting than Cotto vs Pacquiao? Come on, Margarito is damaged goods after the loss to Mosley and the controversy he's going through... Pacquiao vs Cotto is the most anticipated fight of the year... And that starts a rivalry between two countries. It may not surpass PR vs Mexico rivalry BEFORE, but we are talking about NOW. Cotto put a lot of punishment on Margarito too.

we are already 1-0 Puerto Rico

how about Lopez vs Penalosa??
