Relax dude. A few years does not come close to equaling the decade after decades of the rivalry between the behemoth against my little Island. Kudos to the recent Filipino champs but nah son you getting ahead of yourselfOriginally posted by HUGEBOXINGFAN View PostComment

disagree. PR has held its own against that significant disparity in population decades after decades. the pool is less deep than just about everywhere else where boxing is a significant national sport.Originally posted by pigsfly View PostComment

Interesting but in actuality the Filipinos will have you at the level for certain if they keep their pace considering that their populations is on par with your country. But let's face it if PR had your population there would be no rivalry, you would be those countries.Originally posted by controlmachete View Postmore like salvadoreans and guatemalans, its falling to that level...

I'm sorry but no. PR & Mex have a long history together in boxing.
The rivalry has been going on for decades & is easily the biggest in boxings history.
Props to the Phillipines for their success in these last few years, but the Filipino-Mex rivalry isn't touching ours with Mexico.
Also, yes, I realize PR is going through a rut in boxing right now, but which nation hasn't at one point or another?
We'll be back just as strong, I can promise you this.Comment

Sorry dude, but by the looks of your post you must have JUST tuned into the sport of boxing.Originally posted by HUGEBOXINGFAN View Post
The PR/Mexico rivalry is one of which has transcended decades some of which has given boxing the most legendary/memorable fights we all come to love/appreciate.
You can't equate just a few Filipino/Mexican fights to what Mexico and PR took decades to build especially when Filipinos just exploded onto the boxing scene thanks to only ONE GREAT fighter (Manny Pac) as suppose to the MANY GREAT fighters between Mexico and PR.Comment
