Damn right, he is American but his heritage, his culture, his lineage is Mexican!! Don't try to take that away from him, whats wrong with him identiftying himself as Mexican- American?? I bet you dont have the same grievance when Mickey Ward was called "Irish" Mickey Ward or "Italian" Arturro Gatti, or even a black fighter recognizing himself as African- American. Sadly too many caucasians lose their culture and dont respect and honore their roots, don't degrade him or any Mexican-American for being proud!! Mexican Americans have fought in every war in the United States since the American Revoultion and have more Medal of Honor recipents per capita thatn any other race, I think you just have isuues with Mexicans period
Undoubtebly, yes the best rivalry in all of boxing, because there is are two things that unite us; our common Spanish ancestry and most importantly Christianity!! GOD Bless both men for putting on a great show because it takes to to engage!! But, lets not take away from Salido and his huge acomplisment and whitewash it with Juanma's ability to take a beating because remember, "Second place is the first loser", Gracias a DIOS, por los Mexicanos!!!
