who is the greatest hispanic fighter ever?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Danny Garcia

[D4thincarnation]

His·pan·ic

adjective /hiˈspanik/

1) Of or relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, esp. those of Latin America

2) Of or relating to Spanish-speaking people or their culture, esp. in the US

Is the Philippines generally a Spanish speaking country? No

So how can they be Hispanic? Its an Asian country with Hispanic influence it also has influence from Arabs, Chinese, American and Japanese and it also has it's pre-colonial cultures that is similar to the Islanders.

So lets discount this guy, because Brazil is not a Spanish speaking country.



Jofre was true great fighter, only lost to Harada on close decisions in Japan.
Jofre had KO power in both hands, a great boxer puncher, fast reflexes and a deadly body puncher.

But because he can't speak Spanish, he can't be on this list.

Danny Garcia

I Agree!

People don't realize that he's the first Latino who ever won a world championship coming out of Philadelphia.

Just The Fact That Salvadore Sanchez is left off the list says a lot!

I Agree!

People don't realize that he's the first Latino who ever won a world championship coming out of Philadelphia.

I mean really? Salvadore Sanchez was perhaps pound for pound better than all of the guys listed. I'm not sure if it's because of the age of the person that posted the thread of just a lack of knowledge of boxing. Either way, He's the best.

[El.Naranjito707]

They do have elements of Spanish culture, they have Spanish words in their languages and a few speak Spanish as a first language.

It is estimated that as much as 33 million Filipinos have Spanish DNA in them.

Yes that is true but they are asian more than anything else. Latin Americans have native in their dna but do they go by native...No.
