      Because Latinos are a very proud people.. They felt by people putting Tito amongst the likes of Chavez, Salvador Sanchez, Duran, and Alexis Arguello that it was insulting to those fighters to have a one dimensional overhyped fighter aqmongst them.. You want to know what's sad.. Ask anyone of Tito's fans and the average one will say Tito is just a good as a fighter as anyone of those guys!!

              To dislike a great fighter because of his nationality is nothing but ******ity and total ignorance. Not to mention that it's racism to a certain point.

                Be that as it may..but generally its true. Its the same as someone from Boston..automatically hating the Yankees..thats just the way it is..

                    I will always be a fan of Tito's no matter if he wins or loses. Yeah I was upset, but that's boxing. Time to see if Cotto can step up to the plate.

                      The Boricua Organization are the biggest racists on this board!! To say that Tito is as good as Duran(Panamanian), Chavez(Mexican), or Sanchez(Mexican) simply because he is Puerto Rican..That is racist!! If he wasnt Puerto Rican some in your organization wouldnt be saying this!! Newsflash.. Tito is probably not even going to be in the Top15 Latinos of all time fightlist!!
