Best latino boxers: Mexican or rican?

[poeticlsykuac]

My apologies for my lame duck comments to all posters.

Gomez KO'd something like 15 mesicans in a row in title defences. Moved up in weight to fight Sanchez, GOMEZ LOST! And THAT alone makes Sanchez the greatest fighter in mesico???? SORRY!!!! P4P PUERTO RICO!!!! mesico should be ashamed of itself comparing themselve with tiny ass PUERTO RICO!!!! IT'S all really about ENVY!!!!!!!!!!!

Both have made great fighters and will continue to do so..

[Red Rebel]

should be top-20 against top-20 to level the argument, since Mexico has the quantity..

[GeorgiaRED]

Yessir, Mexico is winning. PR is just a damn island. It would be embarrassing if PR had more boxers.

I haven't read this entire thread, sorry feel tired from coming back from work, but this is so silly. The number of PR and Mexican champs is almost the same, yet Mexico has like 90-100 million people more.

If you go by capita- Cuba, PR, and Argentina have had many more champs per capita. Puerto Rico has only like 4 million and Mexico well over 100 million.
mexico fans say Chavez beat puerto ricans. How many mexicans did Benitez and Trinidad beat. Juan Maneul Lopez is already doing that. Salvador Sanchez beat Gomez, But Gomez had already murdered like a dozen mexicans. Cotto also murdered like a dozen mexicans until one came in with a plaster of paris.

How many Mexican Heavyweight or Cruiserweight champs have their been?
NONE. Puerto Rico had Carlos Deleon at cruiser and Ruiz at HW. Also Oquendo was going to be HW champ until the judges gave Chris Byrd a gift decision at HW.

Co-sign with this

Tito Trinidad and Julio Cesar Chavez.

Why did Tito have so much trouble hurting Hopkins when he had such an easy time hurting Joppy who was straight schooling him till his phenomenal left hook landed. Weird huh? Tito ruined some good fighters with illegal wraps, it isn't questionable it is the truth. The guy who did his wraps said he always did them that way, which was illegal. So it is difficult to say how Tito would have done if he fought fairly. So be careful now both countries have cheaters.

I am a fan of boxing but this is ridiculous who cares which country has better boxers. I love boxing down care about the skin color, or country or whatever else. I am glad countries celebrate their boxing and that they have a awesome rivalry that us fans capitalize on but be serious we are fans of the sport.

Who has hurt Hopkins anyway? Never saw Joppy schooling Trinidad in that fight, he did throw like 100 punches in the round after the knock down but in the end it worked against him

It's a tough call, I think puerto rican fighters are great. I think mexican fighters are great...someone else said cuban fighters, Argentina produces some elite fighters too......if you would have to rate them like you would in a soccer match it would be those four.

I respect PR fighters to the fullest and grew up watching the great rivalries between Mexico and PR in the boxing ring.

When you break it down to who has the best fighter in an all time list, I think it would be tough to surpass JCC , Finito Lopez or Sanchez by any PR boxer.

I think those three are better than almost any Latino fighter with the exception of Duran.
