    LOL seriously guy, there's no way you're winning this argument. It's a fact that it's a US territory and NOT its own country. Tell me, as a US citizen, do I need a US Passport to travel to Puerto Rico??? Answer is no, because it's an American territory.

And it certainly doesn't diminish the fact that a lot of good boxers came from such a small area.
        yeah, we are born with dual citizenship and are free to renounce to it anytime

        one question: every four years, do you guys vote for a president? we don't we vote to elect a political party that'll move towards statehood, independence, and basically staying with the same political status.

        do you guys have referendums in order to decide whether you want to still be part of the US or be a separate country? can you decide ********ically IN YOUR STATE if you want do be a republic? if yes,would the US acknowledge your decision immediately if you were to decide to be independent?

              ... and yet none of that matters, and doesn't change the fact that it's still a US territory.

                so being a territory automatically means that you're not a country? according to spain, that's not true, even while we were their territory

                unless you've studied cuban and puerto rican history from 1890 until 1942, you won't get this, even if you find 3 links on google

                  plenty of territories have been considered countries my man, including us, since 1897

                    Finally, someone who knows. There's no doubt that PR is one of the best when it comes to producing world class boxers.

                    I also agree with you on Russia, if anything the UK should be on there before Russia.

                      Look, google it yourself.. there's more than 3 links that will adequately tell you that it's not a country.


                      Tell me this, what currency is Puerto Rico using? Does it have it's own currency??
