Mexico VS Puerto Rico

The PR vs Mexico rivarly has been here since the age of dinorsours, and will be here in the age of Robocop.

Its already known. Sanchez Gomez started it. Before that fight there no notable win against Puerto Rico. Gomez of course killed Cazares, Ortiz beat Torres, etc. Sanchez came puerto ricans started to notice mexicans though at that time koreans and americans where still Puerto Rico's biggest threat. Chavez-Camacho might have sealed the deal. Don't forget Gomez's biggest win over a Mexican-Zarate.:boxing:

I only started watching boxing like in 2005 so I dunno when the rivalry started, but over the years from my experience one prominent rivalry has been the Mexico/Philippines rivalry that seems to be more intense mostly because Pacquiao's fans just NEVER stop talking ****, I'll never forget on Youtube some of the fools over there... but yeah, just like a lot of other people here I didn't even notice such beef between Ricans and Mexicans till I came here but I was always aware tho that Mexicans and Puerto ricans had some of the best fights just not the beef and **** talking tho... me personally I get along with Ricans just fine, one of my friends from high school was a big fat ass puerto rican dude lol he was cool as hell really funny. and actually he didn't even look Puerto rican he looked mexican to me, if he hadn't told me he was rican i woulda always assumed he was mexican...

Nah, but you guys count the title defenses against Mexican bums. Look, real deal, when a top Mexican goes up against a top Puerto Rican, Mexicans always come out on top. Anyways, Puerto Rican fighters are badass, it's just the fans who mess this up for everyone else. :boxing::boxing::boxing:

Technically PR is up against Mexico in championship fights. Some people just choose to remember certain victories and forget the losses. Calzaghe beats an old shot Roy Jones, and you seriously think your sig makes sense?? I think old Roy, Kesslet and old Hopkins are the only names worth mentioning on Calz resume. Who the phuck else did he fight? Nah, but you guys count the title defenses against Mexican bums. Look, real deal, when a top Mexican goes up against a top Puerto Rican, Mexicans always come out on top.

Chavez-Camacho might have sealed the deal. it could be like any other healthy sports rivalry between 2 latino countries but what frickin get fans mad in mexico (where im from and grew up) is that at some point a lot of puerto rican boxers started talking mad shiit about our fighters, it was the times of wilfredo, chapo and then camacho... very nasty shiit, so personal and classless, needless to say they were shut up in the ring, were it counts... but the amymosity is still there... only in boxing coz ricans and mexicans usually get along pretty well... i know some boris and they are great people, the father of one told me the best rendition of "mi viejo san juan" was from javier solis, a mexican... the old man cant listen to it without getting all teared up...

Haven't we already established your opinion doesn't matter? I could have a sig with Ali in it and you would talk ****. Calz was also old when he fought RJJ and bhop. Don't forget bika, lacy, chris eubank.

It started out as simple trash talking between 2 latino countries, nothing was serious. Then the losing side ( PR ) had to get mad and started firing off real insults towards mexicans and the rest is history. It's like Ireland vs England, Japan vs china, russia vs germany

I would like to know this as well. I'm Mexican-American and I have no animosity towards Puerto Ricans. Didn't even know Puerto Rico and Mexico had beef until I came into this forum. Same here.. And iv been to many Mexican party fights.. I'm guessing it's bigger over there.. They do seem to really hate us on this board.. You can clearly tell there more salty when they lose to a Mexican.

Honestly I didn't know about the rivalry until I moved to the East Coast, I guess cause there wasn't many Puerto Ricans in Texas. I think Puerto Ricans hate us because people sometimes refer to Ricans as "Mexicans" and that makes them mad. I don't know exactly when the boxing rivalry started.

When did all this hate originated? I know is a boxing rivalry and doesn't really carry on to other sports, music, artists or anything else. Was this beef since the Sanchez-Gomez fight or does this crap dates back since way before then? I would like to know this as well. I'm Mexican-American and I have no animosity towards Puerto Ricans. Didn't even know Puerto Rico and Mexico had beef until I came into this forum.

I was gonna make a thread on this earlier.. I was wondering the something.. But what's a trip is I never went to a Mexicans house and I don't mean Mexican American that brought up this rican vs mexican thing.. I dont think That they even care for it.. They never hype it up like it's a rican versus a Mexican thing.. I'm assuming it's deeper in puerto Rico?.. I know some mexican Americans know about the rivarly but very few do.. I didn't realize about the rivalry until I got older.
