the best heavyweight in north america is a mexican

[JunitoCotto]

You are on drugs.... This thread!

Viva is really Irish. I know his brother. The jokes on Mexicans. That is why he posts ridiculous "warrior" BS. Sorry to ruin the fantasy for you guys. Viva's real name is Pete McCann

This Arroela thing is his latest idea of a joke.

Are all puerto rican fighters considered Americans since they're all american citizens?

only if they're good.

john ruiz is actually dominican.

[Gojira]

if thats who your best heavyweight is, no wonder britain have the best boxers at the moment.

What about wilfred benitez or luis collazo? They're were born in New York.

chris "nightmare" arreola!!!

I agree - Arreola is probably the best American heavyweight, now that Thompson's rating will go down. Chambers is very good too.

I would pay for someone to make me a gif of that Margarito chicken dance.

Arreola is a few more fights away from actually having a chance at Wlad. If he gets past certain opponents then maybe we can estimate how good he will do. It looks like this next fight with Tua will answer some more questions about him.

If anyone would have the balls to tell Wilfred Benitez he was an American he would have probably had them assasinated.

In the eyes of most of the world yes. If you went to japan or if you went to england telling people you were mexican, but werent born there, dont speak spanish, and only maintain a few cultural customs (such as flying the flag on cinco de mayo but having no idea what it was about) then by all means, you are american.

You can argue it all you want, but this is the only country, or one of the few, where people dont want to be just what they really are, american. If you are born in america, live here, make your life here, then you are american. Everyone is half puerto rican, half mexican, half spanish, half polish, half irish with a touch of chinese.

In the end, if you arent a mexican citizen, you are a mexican american, period.

Lol, you really think Mexicans care about the semantics of the situation?

When anyone sees me on the street, they don't think, "there goes a brown american man.

No dumbass, they think, "theres a Mexican".

We have cultural pride that goes beyond borders and certified papers. Its in our food, our music, our customs and traditions.


You can argue it all you want, but this is the only country where Mexicans have a rightful place to call home besides Mexico.

Learn some history before you go spouting off such nonsense.

I'm american by birthright, Mexican by nature.

You're just a confused white kid.
