mexico has hundreds of tribes, not just aztecs,
how the fck you are going to create a civilization like the mayas, toltecs, aztecs if you dont hava the resorces to do it, in the small Island
plus ricas are not tainos mix, you guy are black mix with spanish, you dont look like american indians to me
Wtf are u talking about? You are talking without knowing dude, I study this. Before the arrival of CC, mainland natives had already begun trade with Tainos, providing them with more ofthe resources they lacked. While they did lack land and so could not achieve the same architectual feats as mainland natives, the sophistication of their culture and society would continue to grow. Read a book, not Wikipedia, and learn something: Tainos were discovered during a period of great growth.
As to your 2nd point, I have a feeling That A) You think Tainos and Mainland natives looked the same, which they didnt, and B) you dont even know any Puerto Ricans in person. My sisters fiance is Rican and he nor anyone in his family look Spanish - they have strong Taino native features (tall, dark-skinned w/ black straight hair. They do look to be mixed with African though. I also have more than a few Rican friends and can tell you - Ricans are NOT just white and black: the interbreeding of Taino with Africans and the rapes of Tainos by Spaniards started on day 1 and never stopped. Recently, a DNA test in PR showed that %60 of islanders have Taino DNA while %80 have African DNA.
Good **** Bro agree
Good **** bro, and I agree that u two are the ignorant, nationalistic pricks on this forum who think their better than everyone else - I see right thru your insecurity.
TS got owned he's a Cotto basher blinded too think Cotto had a weak fight and ran at the end - yeah buddy - in ur own twisted mind. I'm a real Cotto fan and it pisses me off when dudes like you, who always happen to be a Mexican hater (who are actually a minority as I know many great Mexicans), start some **** talking on a great fighter like Cotto. Take a fukin walk dude Cotto won fair and square and Floyd won yrs later vs a Mosely who cant even fight past 2 rounds.
But health care is just one item on the territory's long list of grievances. With a near-50 percent poverty rate and a per capita income of barely $10,000, Puerto Rico's in trouble. Full-time earnings are dropping. Less than half of eligible workers have jobs. And women get the worst of it; almost 60 percent of female-headed households fall below the poverty threshold.
It's No wonder you spics are Leaving Pr for 1 bedroom APTS in the bronx fucc outta here
Ok so PR is poor, so is Mexico, whats your point? Dont listen to aholes bashing ur country bc of poverty or drugs, PR is no better, they have crazy drugs and crazy poverty, just like Panama and Mexico. Brazil has a rising middle class but their lower class is suffering like hell. Dont listen to some of these dumb Ricans on here who talk **** about Mexico being criminal and poor and dont even know PR is just the same. Those Ricans on the island have a crazy murder rate all due to drugs, its nothing to be proud or ashamed of, but it isnt only Ricans. All countries have their problems.
I see no real way you can see Floyds win as better than Cottos win vs Shane. Floyd was more dominant but that was expected. Shane gassed out like a old man in that fight, and you know in your heart he was way more fresh vs Cotto. He wasn't in his prime but by the time he got to Floyd he was def past it. Bro, it's common sense.
Cotto clearly, I say again, CLEARLY, won that fight. If you see it another way you are looking for **** to bash Cotto on. Cotto did not run at all in thatfigt he just boxed a bit more and secured his win. That's not runnig. Oscar vs Tito is running. Floyd beat an older Mosley and there's no way Cotto lost that fight I'm sorry you are wrong in every way.
Cotto boxed beautifully and was aggressive as well he landed bombs on Shane, real bombs and combos - the commentators even said they hadn't seen punches landed so hard in years so if you really believe Cotto lost or his win was worst than Floyds that's sad.
Yeah, so. So I dislike Cotto more than I do Floyd. Is there a law against that. I just don't see what's so great about Cotto. He's got a resume filled with guys like Urkal, Branco, Foreman, Gomez, a washed up Mayorga. And yet people claim this dude takes on all comers and is a warrior. GTFO!!! Got beat up by a guy who throws 10 punches a round and was hobbling around on an injured leg after Cotto slammed him to the canvass. Almost got knocked out by Zab Judah before he low blowed him. Most overrated fighter I've seen in my life. And I don't even go out of my way to discredit Puerto Rican fighters like everybody claims I do on here. I like the old time dudes like Carlos Ortiz and Jose Torres. But there are just none of the known ones in the present that I care for like Juan Ma Lopez because he avoids challenges. Morel for being a child molestor.
To be honest dude, you may not be a Rican hater at all. I know Ricans that dont like Cotto either. But those Ricans dont really know boxing, they think they do, but when we get deep into it, I know more **** about their Island when it comes to boxing than they do.
I Love Cotto as a fighter in general. I respect him. You mention his weakest opponents when bashing his resume but lets be clear here, Cotto has one of the best resumes in the sport. Everyone has bums on file we can fun off the mouth talking about, but Cotto fought guys who are legit, I'm sure I dont have to mention names. Lets also be clear, as a boxing fan, and Cotto fan, I dont see how Cotto almost got KO'd. The dude tooks some hard shot, granted, but never looked dazed or out on his feet. He actually recovered and landed the low blow after he was good. Hes a body puncher and low blows happend. Merchant even said it, Cotto had recovered and did not do that on purpose. But we can differ on that. Clottey, now I know Clottey didnt throw a lot vs Pac, but did you see the Cotto fight? The dude only threw more than 10 punches vs Cotto bc Cotto couldnt see them coming. Blood in the eye fuked him up badly. I had that fight even on cards with Cotto winning bc of the knockdown. But much respect for him continuing to fight with that cut, unlike many ppl, including V. Ortiz. If you cant see my points than you may just be a Cotto hater, but not necessarily a PR hater.
Compared to other racial-ethnic groups in the United States, the Stateside Puerto Rican poverty rate is only exceeded by that of Dominicans (29.9 percent). The Stateside Puerto Rican poverty rate is higher than every other major group: Whites (6.3 percent), Blacks (21.3 percent), Asians (7.1 percent), Mexicans (21.2 percent), Cubans (12.9 percent), Central and South Americans (14.1 percent) and other Latinos (13.2 percent).
LMAO you guys are the poorest out of all the minority's only surpassed by Dominicans
Yeah well I am not hispanic but i dont think thats funny man, those are your people too, and you think their poverty as a people is something to make fun of? C'mon, you got to be better than that. Its more sad than anything, and I dont know if those facts are right but if they are I appreciate the info.
the difference between the two is that Cotto fought Clottey, Margarito, Shane and Pacquaio while berto has fought bums, bums and more bums. At least cotto is not scared to step up to the competition unlike Berto ***** ass.
Sorry Dempsey that reply was for Iceta Lives.
The health care reform battle has only highlighted how Puerto Ricans repeatedly get the short end of the stick from U.S. legislation. Referencing Democratic Sen. Max Baucus's version of the health care bill that withheld key benefits to Puerto Ricans,
LOL and how the fucc does pr have a bigger Poverty rate then Panama???? oh btw your 3rd world island chimps can't talk proper Spanish either can't pronounce the letter R have fun living in your APT spic i can just imagine you all anrgy typing away at the PC kill yo self
Ricans brought that **** on themselves bc they wanted to be part of the US and get benefits but get ****ed over at the same time, its their fault. But I have PR friends (and Mexican friends) and they told me their spanish doesnt use the R bc of the African slaves who didnt have that word. So their spanish is just as valid as anyones, they are a people of mixed breed and they talk the language different it doesnt make it wrong. You dont speak like Spaniards do you? Dominicans dont either. Brits dont talk like Americans. People from Georgia dont speak like ppl from Cali or NY, they drop stress and add letters to their words too so stfu you are an idiot bro.
uhhh its in the same article
Berto will get his ass whooped by Cotto on any day if the week. He deserve anything more than Cotto as far as purse, this fukin guy only looks good bc he fights bums and past prime bums. Cotto will fight Sergio later this yr so Iceta u can't sat Cotto should've fought this and that guy but didn't, I'm new here and u already notice you hate on Cotto WTF is it problem? Are you onebif those stupid Mexicans? I'm Italian but I love Cotto and Marquez too but there's some dumb Ricans and dumb Mexicans out there and I think you're one of them. He will fight Sergio eventually.
I agree with you man, I mean there's a reason why PAC & Roach enforce these catch weights, they can really affect your performance. Its common sense when comparing a blood test to actually having to lose weight - blood test ain't ****. I still think that Cotto would have lost that fight, with or without the catchweight.
juanma and his handlers are scared to death of gamboas speed and power
Gamboa would not even give lopez a chance to take a knee, hes gotta shut his lights out with 1 punch.
You just keep hating on the Bori. When he whips that ass I dont want to hear **** from you. Hows it feel having ur boy Montiel KO'd in 2? hahahahah
Juanma has been disappointing me with his easy ass fights. Well, the Rafa fight wasnt easy but theres no way he can lose that one, hes just too big and young. I cant defend him anymore I just want him to fight Gamboa.
