I would definitely say Philippines vs Mexico. I mean say what you want about the Philippines only having 2 good boxers, one of which might be a steroid/PEDs user, and the other one only having beaten one legitimate mexican opponent,(Montiel) I still think its a legit rivalry right now because ever since Pacquiao, it's like Mexican boxing has been plundered into the middle ages...
I mean we're so desperate in search of the next great Mexican fighter that we're rallying around complete bumbs like Alvarez and Chavez Jr... and before them it was Margarito who is the ultimate bumb and shame to Mexican and Mexican-American boxing... The good news is there is a ****load of really talented Mexican and Mexican-American prospects out there right now, and thanks to Pacquiao there is also a few good Filipino prospects now emerging so it's only going to get better from here :boxing:
lol thats true and is way bigger than mexico vs. puerto rico
in regards to PRO boxing, mexico, puerto rico, usa and philipine are SUBDIVISIONS within gbp and top rank.
I can't pinoys actually think they have better boxers than MEXICO. It takes more than a one roid user & nonito to even compare your selves to the best.
the way mesicans fight against pinoys, it isn't much of a rivalry. it's more like a tsunami
mexicans have the better end of pinoys historically two pinoys won't change that especially when one of those two only faced one good mexican fighter in montiel
I think mexico vs phillipines is the new one.
need more than two pinoy boxers to make it an actual rivalry imo.
half of nonito's record is against mexican opponents though, haha..
