    Does the next Golden Boy of boxing have to be Mexican/American?

    or can he be caucasian? black? something else? it all depends? oscar got much help from being able to draw from both u.s. americans and mexicans(one of the largest boxing supporters.)

    or will there ever be another boxer with de la hoyas stardom? some one to equal or surpass him? personally, if any promoter can build a boxer to even come remotely close to what he was, its him.

    He will have to be American, or have maybe had a holiday in america as a child, so they can call him an "Honoury American" or maybe flown over america in a plane.

            Yeah in a sense he does... one or the other... mexicans or americans are the biggest draws right now... it can be a mexican-american a african-american or a white-american, but it HAS TO BE AN AMERICAN that's just where the biggest Tv exposure, Money and compitition is at.... NO DISRESPECT TO ANY OTHER NATIONALITY OR RACE ... that's just how it works right now
