Should Roberto Duran be considered one of the best Mexican fighters?

[15round]

Duran's father was apparently a Mexican American. Should that qualify him as one of the best Mexican fighters?

He was one tough Mexican.

After so many fights for so long his brain seems OK and his face doesn't look all punched in like a pug.

I suspect he was actually pretty hard to hit clean.

I guess the Panamanian people won't listen to that. To them, he's Panamanian, and only Panamanian.
And why there is a Roberto Durán Arena in Panama City.

So how many generations removed must they be before they are no longer Colombians?

How I understand it Colounbians see the isthmus as occupied territory ( by Yankee pig dogs).

Either way the isthmus is at the southern end more akin to South America, it's the Guatemalians who are really Mexicans.

[The Old LefHook]

Why, Duran even spoke Mexican.

I agree with Bolt. Duran has mostly repped Panama from what I can tell.

I'm guilty of that.
