Best latino boxers: Mexican or rican?

Who gives a damn? he might be born and raised in Panama but he sure got his genes from his father (who was mexican) which is technically why he was so good, Mexicans in boxing are warriors and Duran (who was not raised around Mexicans) competed like one.

Get that through your head.

He also got his genes from his Mother. Who guessed what is from Panama

I don't know if having Mexican blood gives you a killer instinct, as in genetics. I think it has to do with how you were raised and the culture around Mexicans growing up. I know some Pochos that are big ******* lol

I agree with underboss. Anyway, duran is closer to being mexican than puerto rican.

He never did in his fighting days. He repped Panama, he was seen as a Panamanian..

he had all of panama behind him, wat u expect....he did mention he was mexican in his fighting days, didnt u watch his fights? obviously not

It don't matter. Oscar is closer to being more Mexican than Duran is what is your point?

Duran falls into the Panama/Central American Territory.

Why did he have all of Panama and not all of Mexico?

Because, he is Panamanian fighter. You must not have watched his fights.

So I guess black american fighters cant embrace their african heritage because they were born here? Sounds kinda dumb. Blood is blood, 50% of duran is mexican genes...

This is a ****** race bait thread. PR a small country that has given many great boxers and Mexico that boxing in there culture and has represented with many great boxers in any given era. Thank God they both exist cause it has been very fun to watch the rivalry.

Back in the day Cubans had their great line on champions and their country is still recognized as having great boxing prospects
