Biggest fight in the history of Cuban boxing?

[ShaneMosleySr]

I can’t think of another that had such huge implications for the Cuban fighter.

I can’t think of another that had such huge implications for the Cuban fighter.

Prime Lara vs Prime Canelo or Prime Rigo vs Prime Donaire was bigger. Not this battle of old farts where a 42yr old Pac will fight 35yr old Ugas in 1 week notice.

Kid Chocolate vs Benny Bass. First World Champ from Cuba, and 2nd from Latinamerica. Kid Gavilan vs SRR, Luis Rodriguez vs Griffith.

LOL what?

Lara-Canelo?

We’re not talking about four division champion, number one p4p and biggest star in boxing Canelo Alvarez.

We’re talking about a guy who had just gotten destroyed by Mayweather.

This is a Cuban getting a shot at Pacquiao.

Also, Canelo-Lara generated 300,000 buys. This one will pass that, obviously.

Rigo-Donaire wasn’t even on PPV. A Cuban getting a shot at Donaire is not bigger than a Cuban getting a shot at Pacquiao. Rigo-Donaire is the poor man’s Pacquiao-Ugas. It isn’t comparable.

Prime Lara vs Prime Canelo or Prime Rigo vs Prime Donaire was bigger. Not this battle of old farts where a 42yr old Pac will fight 35yr old Ugas in 1 week notice.

Benny Bass and Emile Griffin were not the face of boxing in their eras.

Which is what Manny Pacquiao is.

Sugar Ray Robinson is on that level but I don’t even think that Gavalan fights stack up.

The first fight definitely didn’t.

And I don’t even think the stakes were as high Gavalian in that fight as they are for Ugas in this one. He could go from unknown to beating the face of boxing on PPV.

Historical speaking. There's wasn't a bigger fight for the Island, than Kid Chocolate first World Title.
