Yep. This is the "Per Capita" stat that they hate to acknowledge. They wait til a Mexican beats a Puerto Rican to start feeling like they run boxing. When their Mexican fighters lose to a Puerto Rican, they just bring up the 70s with Sanchez beating the smaller Gomez. Selective memories.

So with this logic we should only compare countries with the same amount of population... "but but they have way more people then us"... If we were rivals with china on this boxing tip you think we would be crying that they have more people then us?... Pathetic

So, give respect where it is due. A true fan of boxing knows the huge impact that the tiny island of PR has had on the sport.

Originally posted by machotime View Postits a huge disparity... Puerto Rico is a tiny island that has produced a major part of boxing's history. Its not up for opinions, its fact- Per capita, PR is has produced more champions and high quality fighters than ANY other country. Manny Steward has said this, Larry Merchant, George Foreman... to name a few.
