Im Mexican and going for Cotto. Yeah, you read it right!

[Shalafi]

It's understandable how a Mexican would get offended if another Mexican or Chicano picks Cotto or any other fighter of a different nationality over a Mexican fighter. Most of us latin dudes are like that, but I can also understand the situation where you would choose in this case a fighter who appeals to you more just like Valenzuela said, he likes Cotto's style and fight plan more than Tony's. The problem I see here is that most people, specially Cottosexuals are dragging Tony's name to the ground as if he was some C-Class bum who Cotto is just going to dispose of like a dirty rag doll. That will not be the case and you will all eat your words come July 26th, let's see how many excuses the Ricans and Cottosexuals will come up the day after.

i lived near veracruz for 3 years but never really so one
only the ones that talk like cubans and are pretty dark i guess u can call them black
i think that kid that was beating up jorge arce named tomas rojas can be considered black hes from veracruz and i saw him fight a few times
u be the judge:

they talk mad funny in veracruz, i knew some dudes from over there that went to michoacan while i was over there and i couldnt understand wtf they were saying at first, then i got used to their accent.. look at the de la rosa brothers

take notes Mexicans, this is how to be a real Mexican (watch the lead singer closely and learn his ways)

**** yeah, The Casualties rock my w0rld, I saw them 2 years ago live in the Warped Tour here in MIA.

I see alot of respect for Margo coming from ricans and Cotto fans on this site - Being recognized as a B-class fighter is nothing for Tony to be ashamed of... bottomline: the day after is going to site this forum on fire with mad **** talkin

[Lazy Liberal]

If u ain't backing Marg, you are a complete sellout, ***** Mexicano, Chicano, or whatever you are, I bet you tell people youre Latino. Sellout.

wow, u really nailed it, son.

Im a total sell out.......Im set to graduate with a bachelors in August and will pursue my masters. Yep, im a sell out.

How about i take on the fernado vargas route and pump my fist on my chest and procalim myself the authortiy on what is and what is not Mexican.

Talk is cheap, the streets of full of dudes who talk about brown pride, but will do nothing to advance us.

I prove my love for my people by not joining a gang, getting a masters degree and providing a positive example for the youth in my community.

Im Mexican, thats who iam . I was born here, but thats my blood and i dont feel im different than any other mexicano who has just arrived. I dont believ in divisons between our people.


I never would call myself hispanic or latino, i would be dissin our own blood, whether its Aztec, Maya or taino.

Any more assumptions you want cleared out?

thanks for being objective and seeing that this was not a Tony diss.


Like I said, I like Cottos game more, thast not dissin Tony.


Ive seen tony fight a lot, seen a lot of fights, just never caught my attention.

The fight is a toss up, who ever wins, props.
