PR vs Mex in Championship Fights: Who won?

[Sir_Jose]

You know what, Leonard and Benitez get cerdit even if you dont approve, you just digging yourself deeper buddy, you cant say he was only prime'd at Lightweight, when other than Jesus he lost to Leonard, and than Benitez, sorry you just cant, he was still winning fights so he was still Duran, you cant claim hes old or not primed after losing, just wait till Trinidad moves up to face Lacy, thats 4 weights, and than he would be considered better than Duran, just imange when he beats Hopkins too.
Clear enough for you

Those highlighted lines about Duran and Tito beating Hopkins is all you need to know about this kid's boxing knowledge.

and listen Im sorry, but to say Puerto Ricans have contributed more to the world than Italians is just beyond ******. Im not even joking you really need to pay attention in history class next time.

LOL!! IWatchBoxing really is a moron.. That list of famous people he posted included JLO and Marc Anthony BBBBBWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! IWatchBitching ever hear of the Roman Empire, and Michelangelo.. That's history for you. Also another historical fact is that Ring Magazine described Hopkins-Trinidad as "One of the most lopsided- dominating big fight performances in recent history"!!

i cant beleive you said that Puerto Ricans have contributed more than italians. Italians where people who found this country.

anyways, when people think about Mexicans in sports they think about Boxing, when they think about Brazil they think about soccer, when they think about Puerto Rico they think about Baseball.

final say

Just wanted to make a final point on this thread. First off I’m kinda annoyed at some people for wanting to "delete" the thread. Must be some weak stomachs that can't take a serious post and analyze it. First off IM MEXICAN! I didn't particularly enjoy reading that my Puerto Rican brothers had an edge against "la Raza" in title fights. Yet, rather than cry and get sensitive about it I prefer to make a analytical statement: Even though its a fact that PR leads us in championship fights I think that there are too many variables to make the numbers reflect the ultimate truth. As I stated in an earlier post, I strongly believe that the level of MEXICAN opponents for the Puerto Rican champs is much less than vice versa. Why? Well simply put it’s a matter of numbers. There are many more Mexican Boxers than there are Puerto Rican fighters. Many Championship bouts that some of the PR Champs had against MEX were against Mexican challengers that were not worthy of title fights and relative unknowns. I stated this before, and I verified it on BOXREC.com but Moonra countered that Chavez's record should be tainted because of fighting taxi drivers. YES IT IS TRUE, Chavez did REALLY fight Taxi Drivers, but not in championship bouts. Only Dwight Pratchett was IMO an unworthy challenger to JC Superstar's title, but even that fight was very early in JC's title reign.


In parting, I would like to say to those who suggested that this thread be erased.....if the intended purpose of the thread seems to be going wayward, make a post to try and get it back on track...otherwise don't post against the thread if it's a well written and a good intentioned one!! There was obviously a lot of research done to post this thread, so I know this wasn't intended to be a flame thread!

Give one additional point to Mex Martin Castillo clearly defeated Eric "manitas de acero" Morel to win the WBA title. 41-36-1-1

[Moonra69]

The record now is 41-37-1-1 in Puerto Rico vs Mexico in Title Fights after Margarito killed the killer Cintron. Next is Dieppa vs Cazares.

[rogue_warrior]

Yes sir, the scales are tilting the right way... LOL! Good job, keep it up.

I think its a great rivalry..Mexican and Puerto Ricans own the lower weight classes. I must say its amazing how such a small Island can rival such a huge country. I love it I think its great for boxing. I must say that p4p Puerto Rico has the edge as far as producing champions comparing it to the US and Mexico and the world for that matter. Look at the map PR is tiny and yet can produce so many great fighters.
