Martinez is such a fraud. He's a perfect example of why boxing is in the gutter today. That Darren "The Sheep Herder " Barker even has a chance to win the fight is all the evidence you need in order to see that Martinez is garbage. :lol1:
If you're comparing continents you're comparing continents. End of story. But you're wrong in any case.
Population of Europe: 825 million
Population of North America = 307 million (US) + 33 million (Canada) = 340 million
Europe's population is more than double the size of North Americas population.
If you really want to split hairs and add Puerto Rico, and the many other tiny countries that are arguably in North America, such as the Caribbean countries, then feel free to waste your time getting the figures and adding them up. Even if you add them all in, Europe's population is still more than double North American's population.
Why are you changing the subject? You weren't talking about population and neither was I. I was speaking solely about boxing I don't care about population sizes.
USA + Canada + Mexico + Puerto Rico >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Europe
@Demise
If your post was directed at me I assure you I only included Canada because it's part of NA.
Obviously if you're comparing continents (and Europe is a continent) then you should be comparing it with North America, not just the US - which is why I grouped the US and Canada in my list.
(Technically Mexico is also part of North America, but I grouped Mexico with South and Central America because most people think of it that way - for cultural reasons and because it was a Spanish colony like they all were until it became independent.)
NoNo that's not how it works Davy
First of all
USA + Canada > Europe
And since we don't live in your magical fantasy land...
USA + Canada + Mexico >>>>>>>>>>> Europe
Since I'm bored...
USA + Canada + Mexico + Puerto Rico >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Europe
Puerto Rico is US territory so it counts....lmfao
No, I said that technically it is, but that it generally isn't regarded as being in general discussions, and is more usually grouped with South and Central America, for cultural and historical reasons; and that in discussions about great South American boxers, Central American and Mexican boxers are usually included.
But since we both agree that NA > Europe in terms of boxers, what was your criticism of my post in which I simply said it was logically wrong to compare Europe with the US alone rather than with the whole of North America? I still don't see what criticism you could possibly have of that post.
The only criticism of your post was that you didn't include Mexico with NA, it isn't "technically" part of NA it is part of NA. Had you not added that my post would have been...
USA + Canada > Europe
USA + Canada + Mexico >>>>>>>>>>> Europe
USA + Canada + Mexico + Puerto Rico >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Europe
Puerto Rico is US territory so it counts....lmfao

I"m not sure though whether or not you genuinely believe that Mexico is not part of NA or if you're just going by what RING says. Whatever the case I should have made myself clear as to why I was replying to you seeing as how my post is in agreement with most of yours.
Then what the hell point were you trying to make? What was your criticism of my original post for in which I simply said that if you were comparing Europe, a continent, with anything, it should be with a continent (i.e. North America) and not with a country (the US)? You don't seem to have bothered to read the post you were replying to, because in the context of the post you were replying to, your reply made no sense whatsoever except if you were trying to say the the population of North America is bigger than Europe's, which it isn't.
You were saying that Mexico isn't part of NA(which it is) so I replied to your post to correct you. Since this thread is about the imaginary dominance of European fighters I included the Mexico and Puerto Rico > bit to further clarify that NA > Europe. How you managed to read anything about populations in my post is beyond me.
The person who posted after myself didn't seem confused as you are.
co fuking sign...............Morales > barrera
I can't believe some people like to claim MAB or JMM are better than El Terrible, it just isn't true you f*cking cvnts.
He calls Cotto a coward and for what? For not willing to fight an individual who can't sell out a shoebox? Cotto will fight Margaresto, and that is the fight that should happen. Who is Sergio fighting next? Some bum. That this "man" has the gall, to call a warrior like Cotto a coward is disgusting.
note that steroidgio martinez's rabid sergiosexual fanbase always goes w/ the ad hominem, personal attacks.
when all true boxing fans want 2 do is clean up the sport. that's all we're asking. so far in this thread sergiosexuals have attacked ppl DOWN SYNDROME, the handi-capped, "the retarded", and made endless other vulgar comments.
y? all so they can justify their steriodgio martinez rampant PED use. tell me what about PED use s a good thing. even 4 steroidgio's sake u should support stricter drug testing instead personally attacking those that r trying 2 clean up the sport.
:bravo:
Magnificent post.
What "Maravilla" needs to become a "draw", is actual boxing skill. If he aquires that(doubtful), he then needs to grow a pair and stop ducking the Undisputed Middleweight champ JCCJR! He will never become a draw because he will never stop ducking.
It's good that the Undisputed Middleweight champion is going to be very active and fighting highly skilled individuals. Unlike Sergio, who's only been fighting goat farmers and retired postmen.

I think this is why Sergio will possibly be remembered. His biggest accomplishment in the ring might be getting demolished by JR, that looks more doubtful everyday though do to his continuous ducking.
Surely none of you Sergio stans believe that people will remember his fights against goat herders?
if steroidgio martinez wants 2 b #44 all he has 2 do is take the test.
gee i wonder y he's refusing 2 take the test??? where there's smoke there's fire.
That glorified bum Sergio is deathly afraid of stepping in the ring with the Undisputed Middleweight champ. People shouldn't expect the fight anytime soon.
steroidgio is ducking JR. only way he will get n the ring w/ JR is as a ring girl. but in fairness steroidgio would make a better ring girl than a boxer.
Can you believe Ring magazine actually has him as #2 on the p4p rankings? Just how stupid and biased are they?
maybe if steroidgio martinez submitted to OSDTs and stopped ducking JR he wouldn't be a PPV failure and a ratings disaster.
Agreed. I can't believe people actually support such a blatant ducker, not to mention enormous coward. :nonono:
