I cant stand some of these ***ing fraud mexican-american fighters

Tom, I agree, but I think that the boxer does it to try to appeal and create a fan base.

If you look brown, and you're a featherweight, and your name is Ricardo Juarez, who would be your natural fanbase? If you live in Houston, don't have a beautiful body and your name is Juan Diaz, does it make sense to build a Mexican fanbase?

Oscar Delahoya, by virtue of the way he talks and his looks has more options.

I have a great deal of love and respect for Mexican (and all Cent American) people. Some of the hardest-working and most family-oriented people I know are Mexicans and Guatemalans. However, i just don't like that they would "side" with Vargas over Delahoya (for example). What differentiates the two of them?

Well duh, thats natural, whos he going to cater to? Samoans? Greeks?


Everyone caters to what they're familiar with, but it doesn't make it phony or manufactured.


Who should Arreola market himself to? In this day and age of anti Brown sentiments, would it be a bright idea for him to market himself as all american? Even with his patriotism on his arm, he wasn't going to easily win over the anglo segment of america.

I'm not Mexican but how's Oscar Dela Hoya spanish. Can he speak spanish well?

he speaks it perfect

The pot just the kettle a pocho.

im a professional boxer that forgot his roots but claims his roots to cash in on the people that really did stick to their roots?

I dont understand how anyone can claim to be of certain nationality when they were not either born or raised there, it must be one of the other, otherwise that is not your nationality as far as im concerned.

im a mexican-american. i claim the mexican heritage that i love and actively participate in.

Quoted for truth. The thread starter is denying his German roots which would make him no better then a Mexican fighter denying his Mexican roots.

people are not getting my point. this thread was not intended to hate on people who dont keep ties to their roots. it was intended more towards boxers who dont keep ties to their roots...until $ comes in mind and they slap a mexican flag on their trunks because mexicans are a huge market in boxing.

I always wondered if there was a rift between Mexican fans. Always got the feeling.

But you still have absolutely no evidence to support your claims other than someone maybe not speaking spanish and thats already been shown to you why in some cases.

spanish is just another white mans language, so I guess Mexicans who speak it aren't being true to their roots either?


Really, just think about how silly that sounds,

"hes not really proud of his heritage because he doesn't speak the language, in america where he was born and raised."

We are in agreement. I was just stating (the obvious?) facts as they are.

BTW, I would often hear about how Alberto Gonzalez is a "sellout" because he was carrying out the Bush policies.

I think it should be up to each and every one to decide what they feel more like.

lol this thread is comedy

a Germexican claiming a Mexican American isn't in touch with his Mexican roots because his spanish is broken (btw Rocky speaks Spanish well) or that they are capitalizing on it but doesn't really know them yet has a German phrase as his sig that translates to "know thyself"?

really?

ok
