    I think he's hyped in the right way. Right now it seems that he isn't cause he hasn't been active.

        didn't meant to offend you. but most of vasquez fans that i have seen are non mexicans.vasquez which his TV rating against marquez were high.when he fought marquez for the 3rd time,they only brought 9,000 fans.

        vasquez is very underrated in the mexican community.


        i believe because he has beat jhonny gonzales,oscar larios,and rafa marquez.

          I don't know about you guys but I actually had marquez winning the third fight with vazquez. That may be another reason why he's not as famous although still admired and respected by all mexicans.

            I see nothing of what you speak of. There are a lot of posters on here with Vazquez sigs. There are a lot of "mexican" posters here who support Vazquez. I got a question for you though?

            Why does it always seem like you have something against Mexicans in general. I hardly see any credit coming from you for Mexican boxers. Most recently, you're constant discrediting of JMM about him ducking Nate Campbell.

              The third one was a close one. The knockdown sealed the victory for Vazquez in my eyes. And it was a knockdown, Marquez would've been in press row had it not been for the turnbuckle and ring ropes stopping him.

              Love both guys though, perfect examples of what you want in a fighter. Quiet, humble, respectful, gifted, and ballsy.

                then how come everyday (even before the handwrap controversy) there are 10+ margarito threads and 1-2 threads about "who will be the next mexican standard bearer" in which vasquez is never mentioned in???

                I have nothing against mexicans in general. I made this thread to open peoples eyes that vasquez doesnt have the same kind of popularity as margarito and other less tested mexican boxers, despite the fact that he is probably the best pure mexican style boxer there is. If anything I'm doing this for vasquez and for mexicans, so that they get behind a real hero like vasquez instead of a cheater like margarito.

                as for jmm ducking campbell... that didnt even start with jmm. I wanted casamayor (the lineal champ) to fight campbell (the unified champ). now that jmm is the lineal champ I wanted him to fight campbell. but now that campbell has been rightfully stripped of his belts, I can really careless who jmm fights after diaz. comprende???

                  The only thread I saw from a CREDIBLE poster of which you describe was regarding in the higher weight classes. Unless Izzy plans on fighting 154 +, then your claim holds no weight unless you feel like posting these 10+ threads.

                  Who other than Viva and Xcaret were making constant Margarito threads? Really? Every "mexican" fan here is behind Izzy 100% and the only reason you were seeing Margarito threads was because Margarito had a fight coming up. Izzy is on break. If you've been here long enough, you know there are threads after threads on Marquez and Vazquez both when they have fights.

                    credible or not why hasn't vasquez captured the imaginations of these wack-job posters???

                    I'm not trying to say mexican don't support izzy 100%, i'm trying to figure out why izzy isnt as popular as margarito.

                      To be honest, I think it is because these fighter at the lower classes don't have many opportunities to fight boxers of other races who have rabid fans as equally insane as these posters. I think they wanna have a fighter they can ****ride against the fighter of other fans who are as equally racially motivated.

                      Its like the ying and the yang, you have your Brandishes and Flawlesses (who I truly think is a ******) and you have your Vivas and Xcarets. They can only exist because the others exists and vice versa.
