why is there a puerto rico vs philippines rivalry being made?

All of a sudden it seems like there is an agenda in the boxing community to create a P.R. vs Phil. boxing rivalry... It's becoming pretty obvious in my opinion...

PR>Phil

Phil boxers needs to improve

Good matches to be made there. Thing is it's nothing like PR vs Mexico and never will be. Number 1 there's the language barrier and number 2 Puerto Ricans like Filipino fighters and vice versa. It's more of a friendly rivalry. That's the impression I've always had anyways.

Pinoy boxers have an advantage IMO , I was told that african-americans and asians have more muscle tissue , its a genetic thing , and for the most part are more athletic than the average latino. But mexican and Puerto rican boxing schools are some of the best. IMO P.R has more close to pure boxers , mexicans might have the best chins , Pinoys are coming up on the scene hard , and they will have good fighters.
