If it is me that you're referring to as a "nice ***ish fellow" I wish I was, it's a compliment as far as I'm concerned, but I'm what used to be called "Black Irish", straight from Ireland born, bred and raised there. But as I grew up, left Ireland and became more educated, I learned sense and overcame the prejudices of my early years. I have no colour, racial or religious prejuduce. only a strong objection to ignorance and racial prejudice. I wish others saw it the same way.Comment

Just like a cross dresser to get off beating up a little man
Everyone is wondering why Delahoya is wanting to fight little Pacquaio? The same reason he would put on heels and lipstick.. Its just like a cross dresser to get off beating up a little man.. I can see him smiling with satisfaction and pride after knocking out Pacquaio. What a freak.

Not to become involved in the discussion....but Daniel Mendoza was the first recognised ***ish Champion of England, around 1790, where boxing as we know it, began. He was also the first exponent of scientific boxing, as distinct from the crude slugging common until then. I have his autobiography, along with other biographies of early fighters.
Since he was only about 5' 6" or 7", that's logical. There were probably ***s boxing for many years before that.
I think that Mexicans came comparatively late to boxing, since the U.S. itself did, only becoming a sport in the early to mid 19th Century, although there was an occasional pitting of black ****** against each other, in "Plantation Competition" as it were. Perhaps it spread over to Mexico in the late 1800's.
The first well known Mexican fighter was around the turn of the 20th cent. Aurelio Herrara, and he was born in the U.S, a Mexican-American. Then there was Mexican Joe Rivers, a little later, but who knows what his real name was, or where he was born. I think it was also somewhere in the States. There have been many articles about him in RING magazine, some of which I have.
So actual genuine early Mexican fighters are rather "thin on the ground" but they certainly made up for it later, and more. One of my very favourite fighters of all time was the Mexican Gaspar Ortega, called "El Indio". No world beater, he would face, and fight, a cage full of tigers if he had to.
Another was Kid Azteca. They paved the way for the popularity of the Mexican fighter and his reputation for bravery. Just my opinion...................

Papers" ...."In my candig apinium".......Comment
