It's been a tough year for this fanbase. First, they witnessed Juanma's downfall in their own country, twice. Then came Dulorme due to some horrible matchmaking and the pressure of being on HBO. The same could be said for Del Valle. Last night Cotto fell short for a second time in the span of 7 months. And lastly, they lost Macho Camacho (RIP). So who's out there that can revive Puerto Rican boxing? In the US at least. Can these guys who lost bounce back?
This thread is not intended for bashing these guys as they are having a rough year as it is. So those Margarito lovers, stay out if you don't have anything constructive to say.
What makes you think he is PR? How do you know he was one of the guys calling Dulorme not PR? And 1 person doesn't speak for the majority of them. :pat:
You're talking to RIZO.
Dude might be mentally challenged.
:lurk:
Martinez beats Salgado if they ever fight.
The three are vulnerable but, if Salgado cant ko Martinez he's gonna get outworked and posssibly stopped. Burgos on the other hand would outbox Martinez unless Rocky can get him to fight on the inside.
Hope he has a good chin or Juanma kind of power, otherwise I will be surprised if he even sees the second half of the fight.
Dulorme is a true rican unlike Danny.
Do people suddenly forget he looked like **** Lock and De Leon? If he had a prime he wasted it with his innactivity.
All of that is possible. And Im pretty sure Dulorme knows more about PR than Danny Garcia since he was raised on the island.
WOWO?? WTF?? Before he lost all PR's were on his nutts!!! We even had a thread on the Latin Lounge asking if PR's considered him PR, and all PR fans said he was..LMAO Jumping off the band wagon there huh??hahahaha

Very true but he considers himself Mexican and so do the Mexican people.
Still Luis Miguel is not Rican and that was my point.
Yeah, I understand the point. Back to García, only he knows if he feels any connection to his roots. I'll support the guy because he has proven that he is a good fighter. Time will tell how good he really is.
true!
I see what you mean but I have something to say about the bold. Luis Miguel's parents are not Mexican. His father was from Spain and his mother was Italian. I should know because I'm a fan of the guy even if his attitude seems kind of douchey.

Diego Corrales is another example.
Colombian dad, Mexican mom, and born in the States.
It's all a big melting pot. Me, as a Puerto Rican, I am what you would call naturally (slightly) tanned if such a term exists. I'm guessing I must be mostly white (Spain) with some black in the mix (Africa), plus the fact that we are Latinos and there's a mix in itself. I don't think I have much Taíno in me but, who knows? I am 100% Puerto Rican but I have that mix, imagine when PR's marry foreigners. That's makes the melting pot even bigger.
I guess it really is a small world after all.
Yeah, it's like Miguel Bosé, the famous singer from Spain. His father was also from Spain, mother was Italian and he was born in Panama. Interesting how some have such a melting pot. Then again, we Puerto Ricans are the product of a melting pot ourselves.

Beat me to it.
his parents lived in Mexico, is about it.
Luis Miguel is pretty much a mutt.

Ok guys there are MILLIONS of Puertoricans BORN in the US who are Ricans no matter what!
Here is what I have for you......WORLD famous Mexican singer Luis Miguel was born in San Juan PR his parents are full Mexicans is he Rican??? NO!
He is 100% Mexican! You are from where your parents are from. If your parents are from PR and you are born in Japan does that make you Japanese??? NO NO AND NO!!
Dannys parents are Puertorican and so is Danny, his blood is Rican and so is his culture regardless if he follows it or not knows a thing about it. That wont stop the Rican blood stream or make him American. By the way ALL PRicans are born American citizens so whats the point.
Like it or not DLH is Mexican and yes full blooded! Many Mexicans move to US never returning back and their kids are born and raised here that wont stop them from being Mexicans, same goes with Ricans, Italians and any other race born here not of the native American Indian culture who are the real Americans!
Has Danny been embraiced by Ricans? You can bet anything you want we are claiming him because simply he is Rican, he has NO American blood on him or does he??
By the way I was born in PR raised in Brooklyn NY and PA. for almost all my life. I am 100% Rican and proud of it, ***** I feel more Rican than the ones living, born and raised back at my island!
BTW some of my favorite fighters:
Tyson
Sugar Ray Leonard
Marvin Hagler
Diego Corales
Wilfredo Gomez
Wilfredo Benitez
Michael Carbajal
Macho Camacho
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Miguel Cotto
George Foreman
Felix Trinidad
Finito Lopez
I follow the sport not the race. I do wish the best to my people and root for them.

I know people are gonna say oh why you using the race card" or "this aint about black fighters" or "you think about race too much".All that is just a loophole people gonna use.
Seriously! Does everything has to do with race to you?

Jayson Velez looked pretty good destroying Salvador Sanchez the 2nd. He is supposed to fight Deleon next that will be his true test
The last fight is the only one that Velez has looked good! Either he's really learning the ropes or the low quality of his last opponent made him look great!I still have my reservations and will much rather see him fight one more time before throwing him to the wolves, aka, Ponce De Leon!
Bomba looks pretty good. I don't consider Dulorme to be Puertorican man.
WOWO?? WTF?? Before he lost all PR's were on his nutts!!! We even had a thread on the Latin Lounge asking if PR's considered him PR, and all PR fans said he was..LMAO Jumping off the band wagon there huh??hahahaha
he will lose to Salgado, I think hes his mandatory.
Martinez beats Salgado if they ever fight. He was getting beat up against Beltran Jr. in the 1 1/2 the fight lasted. I think you mean Burgos.
Burgos>Salgado IMO
Rocky Martinez will most likely KO your boy who got dropped by a journeyman and didn't look very impressive in his win.

The three are vulnerable but, if Salgado cant ko Martinez he's gonna get outworked and posssibly stopped. Burgos on the other hand would outbox Martinez unless Rocky can get him to fight on the inside.

Orlandito Cruz anyone?????????
Do people suddenly forget he looked like **** Lock and De Leon? If he had a prime he wasted it with his innactivity.
HBO need to force Keith Thurman vs Luis Carlos Abregu next..
HBO need to chill on Dulorme let him get 6 more wins then put him in there with champion by later 2014 , by later 2014 I see Broner, Diego Chavez, Kell Brook as champion at 147 he can fight one of those guys..
Geez seem like some island ricans dont like newyork ricans. That is sad. Garcia is doing his thing rite now for us ricans.
I think he's doing it for yall's money not for yall. :lol1:
