Damn it must hurt that a little island has more talent than a whole country. I can't wait to tell right uppercut because we have this argument all the time. PR's forever.
More talent? And you got to this conclusion because...?
The stat shows that PR has an edge in championship bouts. How about this: Mexico has had 105 champions to Puerto Rico's 48. Now go ahead and say you guys have more talent than us.

Last time I checked it was 50, and it should be 52 now since two PR's took two Mexicans belts , P.S. look at my sig.
It's kind of normal. We've had much more champions, but not all of them have been all that good. Whereas PR has had less champions but with better overall quality.
But this fact remains: in the most important, expected, hyped, fight between a Mexican and a Rican, your all-time best against our all-time best, both in their primes, Salvador Sanchez obliteraded Wilfredo Gomez. Now remember it and weep.
Gomez isnt our All-time best, he fits in thrid (3/10)place just fine, and he lost after moving up in weight to face Sanchez.

i'm not mad at this, gomez going up to a weight that naturally wasn't his agains't the very best mexican ever produced. you win some you lose some. sanchez was the ****, had he stayed alive, there'd a been atleast 2 more gomez/sanchez fight.
i watch boxing ... if you don't have gomez at #1 ... then who do you have on PR's #4#???
theres no way that i could put tito/benitez or ortiz ahead of him.

Well I do have them ahead of him, cause Gomez is as good as Hopkins, he has a record breaker, but yes unlike Hopkins, he is considered the best in the divsion, but Trinidad, and Benitez fought with big names, in differnit weights, which I belive is better.

i just can't put benitez ahead of him because he could have very well beaten everyone put in front of him had he trained properly, but he neglected to do so. tito - if he had more movement ....... and a win against hopkins then yeah i can see that.
The list is meaningless as to which country has produced better fighters. Its just a comparison of what there is and its not even complete there are a few fighters missing from the list. As well as decision that should have gone the other way. Too many variables.
If you think this makes puerto rico better than Mexico in boxing... well i dont think i need to say anything else..
