Who is the best current Puerto Rican fighter outside of Cotto?

[boricuajr23]

Yeah to me Calderon was always better than Cotto.

Cotto losing depended on the level and style of another opponent in his division, whereas Calderon losing was just a matter of age catching up to him.

I liked Calderon over Cotto for the majority of the previous decade but the question is right now and IMO Cotto can still **** with the best of them and Calderon just doesnt seem to have his legs anymore.

I get it my man, you are biased towards Ricans who were born on the mainland and who have been living here all their lives, but you consider a foreigner with no Rican roots a Rican because he resides in PR, got it.

Basically Danny isn't jibaro enough, LOL

Dude if you know Tony Croatto you will know what I mean. So you not being rican cant understand.

Damn, this Dulorme non-sense is still going on? Why does it bother some of you? If the guy says he is Puerto Rican after growing up most of his life in the island and despite him knowing the nationality of his parents, who the F&*^ are you to tell him he isnt? Get over it!

As per the question, People tend to drop a fighter after a loss. Juanma, Rocky Martinez and Vazquez jr can all regain a title. Luis Cruz, Jonathan Oquendo and Cesar Ceda are close to being world champions. As per the younger undefeated bunch, Del Valle, Bomba Gonzalez are my other 2 fighters that have looked promising lately. Del Valle is fighting Darchynyan and Bomba Gonzalez has been calling out Segura. Also, Jonathan "Mantequilla" Gonzalez fights tomorrow night on HBO BAD (not too thrilled on him though). Lets not forget about Carlos Velazquez who im hearing might be returning soon and Jose Pedraza!

Te entiendo, but still I dont consider Oquendo and Seda better than Del Valle, Dulorme and Pedraza. Cruz is good but instead of fighting he left for a long vacation. He wasnt KTFO, he should come back earlier but didnt. I like him more than Rocky. He is better in all department. But he did not act correctly.

Currently Danny Garcia but I think Dulorme will be the future.

I thought garcia was born and raised in philly?

thats like me saying i'm mexican even though i was born and raised in the u.s

Danny's parents are both boricua and he considers himself a Puerto Rican even being born in Philly.

Danny Garcia and its hilarious people are trying to say a guy who's parents are Puerto Rican isn't Puerto Rican lmao.

Why? The mofo dont know ish about PR. He dont even know the towns of his parents. GTFOH with the reasoning that his parents are rican. How many Americans they are that the parents were born in other countries and they dont know ish about it. In my book he is not rican and he clearly reps Philadelphia.

[-DSG-]

Ivan Calderon or Juanma Lopez although roman Martinez and wv2 have a chance to get the 2 spot with their next fights. Oh and Garcia is American.
