MEXICO vs. PUERTO RICO boxers/fans Rivalry when did it all started???

[oc9979]

Funny how PR's "top boxers" (Camachoe, Benites, Gomes) were all druggies

here come the hater. i can tell by the picture. what nationality are you?

[pblo_rl]

Just interested to know....

I guess both countries produce such excellent fighters and champions and since they have the same market in Vegas they usually end up on the opposing corners.That could be the reason but what fight started it all?

Was it because of Dela Hoya controversial loss to Felix Tito Trinidad???

If there were previous discussions here in NSB please post the link...

and if its ok who produced THE BEST ONE among all their champs??? for me its a toss between tito and JCC..

Oscar De La Hoya is not Mexican, nobody in Mexico cares if he loses or wins, when he wins nobody in Mexico celebrate (unless they are fans of him and not because he's "mexican" because he is not).

There was some fights between mexicans and puerto ricans before Sanchez-Gomez, but from what I understand, that fight is the one that started the rivalry.

I think it was Gomez vs Zarate

Gomez was being called the "mexican assassin" because he was beating up taxi cab drivers.. zarate faced him and got beat, then sanchez whooped his ass.

You mean mexican-americans. In Mexico we don't really have the "ppv system" the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight was free on HBO in Mexico, same as the Pacquiao fight.
