How is Cotto Mixed with black LOL dumb thread.

Cotto has mixed blood. Why was he sportin an afro in the Demarcus Corley bout?

Please do your research before you come in here with your nonsense.

cotto is clearly mixed w black

[Toney616]

WE are nice black hair, so WHA, you been to DR or Cuba? Their black as African Americans, you cant say we are black cause of our hair LOL

Cotto is obviously mixed with African ancestry, let it go already

[Toe Injury]

denying that cotto has some african in him is as dumb as denying that sergio is ethnically european

the two look nothing alike.. why even mentiont hem side by side... because they both have suntans?

The dude used to have an Afro, which should tell you all you need to know

Well, if this means anything

In the 2000 U.S. Census Puerto Ricans were asked to identify which racial category with which they personally identify. The breakdown is as follows: white (mostly Spanish origin) 80.5%, black 8%, Amerindian 0.4%, Asian 0.2%, mixed and other 10.9%. The census results are self-reported, and in Puerto Rico, people would follow the opposite of the one-drop rule, so even though Puerto Rico is largely made of Mulattos, most of them tend to consider themselves either "white" or "black" depending on skin tone.[citation needed]

some latinos are white but its foolish to claim them as people or even the majority, you cant call a guy like sergio martinez or miguel cotto white who are clearly mixed(sergio with native, cotto with black), outside of guys like saul canelo alvarez there arnt many 'white' latinos or many 'black' latinos either, the majority are mixed with hundreds of years of mixing european conquerors, black ******, small population of natives on the land also who look south asian

We don't claim Martinez.

We just stating the fact he's white.

Martinez being white is a fact,because of his color and spanish(european)roots.

Messi,the best argentinian soccer player has italians parents.

Martinez spanish grandparents.

No whites never claimed Duran,Gamboa,Lopez or Marquez.

Martinez being white is just ****in obvious.

^ Cotto is puerto rican u dumb ****. Maybe you research what P.R are first. Cause a vast majority of them are mixed with African descent. Then judging by your name, are you one? Embarrassing if you are

Its dumb enough we have idiots who are clueless to boxing, now we getting race lessons. IQ's dropped quick

What you said.

I'm not surpised since Americans wanna confuse PRs with Mexicans LOL, PR is the lightest skin color country in Caribbean. End of story.

I think most Argentinan people will class they selves as white my friend, Sergio Martinez as 80% of Argentinans are pure Europeans of Italian and Spanish Heritage with no indigineous roots what so ever. You can't say Saul Canelo is a white as ethnically he is a Mestizo (european mixed with native mexican) just appears to be white celtic looking. Depending on the country you can find all ethnicitys of latinos

If u look at the main ppl is these Latin countries there races are all different
Argentina - main race is white FACT
Peru - Main race Native South Indiginous
Mexico - Mestizo Mix of Indiginous and Spanish
Cuba - everything from white to black african and all the mixes u could think of
A point for u to remember Latino is not a race

You cant determine a person's race by skin color or appearance alone. In many Latino families (including my own), you'll find individuals who can pass for entirely different ethnicities but categorizing in such a way would be ****in ******ed because they obviously share the same bloodlines.
