Relax dude I ain't saying you can't be puerto rican. I'm saying that there are people born in foreign nations that fight for their "motherland" but the fact is they are born to this country. example: Wilfred Benitez was born in the USA but everyone knew he was hispanic, puerto rican to be exact, Example 2: De La Hoya was born in the states , the canizales brothers too, but are considered mexican fighters.

Exactly, so did you list Benitez under a Champion for Puerto Rico or the US and did you list De La Hoya as a Mexican Champ or an American Champ?
and I'm relaxed as can be brother, just wanted to state my point, thats all.Comment

The question wasn't per capita, it doesn't work that way. Question was country as a whole. If it was like that you could argue that mexico city has produced the greatest boxers, or the New York area, or the L.A. area of the U.S.Comment

what's important is what inside in their passport not their heart or what flag their represent..... de la hoya is american citizen therefore he is american.....Relax dude I ain't saying you can't be puerto rican.

I guess it's all up to the fighter. Kostya Tszyu was born in Russia but his nickname is thunder from down under and he represents Australia. But on the other hand you got Eric Morales who was born in TJ and lives in San Ysidro CA. But is still Mexican.That's why I decided to seperate them by Birth place. If I got too technical it would be a freakin nightmare. I would end up going crazy... like Chalky Wright ...born and raised in Mexico yet he was African/Mexican/ American...He, being black and being born in Mexico was officially the first ever Mexican World Champion. So if I got too simple I'm sorry. I would have taken Months to do all that research.Comment
