At the Presser he said something about being a true mexican, so does this mean he is gonna play on his mexican roots for the build-up as so to attract the mexican fanbase? Kinda like a mexico v usa thing?
Fak, who cares what he is, I like him because he has balls, fights well, is strong and isn't afraid to brawl. He has proved he has both skill, heart, balls and power. :boxing: I think he may suffer from not being "accepted" enuff by the Mexican community, just like his great mentor. But he is a Mexican-American or a Mexican from USA. He can never just be classified as Mexican.
As someone posted earlier...if you're parents are both Mexican (both being born in Mexico) and you are born in the US you're citizenship/nationality is American but culturally you are Mexican. The majority of us...we talk, eat and **** Mexican.
I never deny my nationality...I'm an American! even though some people might doubt it...but one look and you know I'm Mexican (or Latino) descent. I can't even deny that but why would I? I'm proud of my culture!!
Always be proud of your culture. Never forget your roots but be thankful to be American. And just in case some of you can't stand being American...then go back.
And please spare me the history lesson. Lo que paso paso. Let it go and move on.
Why the hell would that make him less Mexican? That's extremely ignorant to say something like that.:pat:
:lol1: punk rock and surfing sounds ****ing fantastic to me.
imo he is american you can tell by his lifestyle, the way he talks, the people he hangs about with with his surfeer sh1t, a guy like margarito i would consider mexican even thoiugh he was born in the US
if u ask a mexican american, they will tell u that they feel 100% mexican, just born here in the usa so they rep both. the mexicans born in mexico are th 1's who dont consider them full mexican.
u a real rican?Born on the island?
so now he is a mexican? before he wasn't a true mexican because he was born in the us and is a quitter. Now after beating berto he is considered a mexican?
I don't get you folks.

:lol1: tim bradley. lord jesus. :lol1:
funny..when he lost to maidana, the only ones still supporting him really were the American boxing fans like myself. don't worry, if he loses to Floyd he'll go back to being American in an instant.
^^^^ Truth.
That's how mexicans are. If you aren't from mexico, or your a mexican that looks white. If you win they will embrace you as a mexican. If you lose or your a loser, your a gringo.

Nevermind to just about everyone who has eyes, ears, and a brain knows that it was no draw.
The draw also seem irrelevent at this point considering Ortiz beat a bigger, stronger, and better fighter in Andre Berto.
Damn, where are all the Americans at?
You know the ones who try to claim EVERY fighter as American?
no hurrrrr Donaire is American cuz he lives here hurrrr!
Manny Pacq is american he trains here hurrrr
Americans love claiming other fighters as their own, but I wonder why not for Ortiz? since he was actually born in america. but hes a MEXICAN. Just happened to be born in the USA. I consider him Mex-American
How many cholos born in the USA to Cholo parents who never learn English or get citizenship? My buddy is a Ese who has family in California and says some of his cousins who were born in CALIFORNIA DONT KNOW ENGLISH, WTF???
Curious question I want to know.
If a Muslim Palestinian Man and WOman have a kid in Israel, does that make the kid Israeli?
If a Irish family lives in USA and has a kid is that kid American?
If a Somalian man and woman enter Canada illegally and have 20 kids are those kids Canadian?
If a Canadian(white) goes to Somalia and they somehow have a kid there is that kid Somalian?
This post is all over the place. You are confounding nationality, ethnicity, race, and religion.
