    Fact - Essentially, there are 29 Puerto Rico's inside of Mexico.

    Question - Does Mexico have anywhere near 29 times more boxing champions than PR???

    Thank you.
    Pathetic..

      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

          Often I hear excuses for the USA's performance in the Olympics, because we have more people than all but 2-3 other countries.

              its 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.

              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.

                Ya it's a small island... And ya it produces talent, champions... But to use it as a excuse is pathetic... I would never bring up something like that against a country the size of china..

                  its not an excuse, its a bragging right. look at the math, PR and Mexico are neck and neck anyhow. Actually, I think PR is ahead.
