    They won teh U17 World Cup, that's a start.

    Yeah, Mexico is more successful at Boxing, but Mexico's top footy players are more popular than their top Boxers in Mexico.

        you never know but you guys could keep hating watching us try. The talent is getting there. But soccer is the main sport and its not even close. Some like chicharito is 20 times bigger than any boxing star in mexico.

            mexico is obsessed with boxing compared to other countries.....



            that has absolutely nothing to do with the popularity of other sports in mexico or even the stars.

            stop reading what you want to see (in an attempt to switch the topic around)

              Not hating, just stating a fact. Hating would be if Puerto Rico had soccer above boxing, basketball, baseball, and volleyball and still be worse than Mexico.

              Only good soccer team Puerto Rico has are the Islanders, who are the defending champs of the US second division soccer, and play like they where an MLS team. Still remember that 4-1 beating they gave the LA Galxy in Los Angeles.
