For example Hector Camacho was no doubt talented but when it came to big fights like Chavez he barely fought back and showed no desire. Same when he fought DLH he ran and didnt even want to be there and fight. This carried over to his son who backed down and quit against Leija. The next guy is Diego Corrales. He literally CRIED in the ring after being smacked around by PBF. And then when he couldnt cheat to win against Castillo and spit out a mouth piece he wilted in the fourth round. This then brings me to Kermit Clintron. He talked a big game and then literally cried in the ring aginst Margarito. Inexcusable for a built strong guy like that to cry for simply getting spanked. I can understand Diego or Clintron crying for losing a loved one or crying tears of joy like Buster did after beating Tyson. Then there is Tito Trinidad. He cried after Hopkins spanked him and ran back to PR, and then after Winky he quit the last four rounds. He then preceeded to retire again and thus again cried in PR. Why are all of these PR fighters wilting, quitting, and crying. Please again this is not flame bait I just want to understand your culture. Ive never seen Mexican fighters do this so I dont think its a broad based Latino issue. Heck when Gatti got beat down by PBF he was dejected but didnt cry. Then you have Angel Manfredy another Borikua fighter who after he suffered a similiar beating at the hands of PBF he cried in the ring as well. When you growing up do your fathers discipline you and say **** like "Stop crying or Ill give you something to cry about" like in Italian culture or do they just accept males crying for trivial reasons. Thanks for your time I look forward to your responses.

You got some problems man.

First of all Diego Corrales isn't even Puerto Rican.
As for the rest...you need to get a clue.

I need to get a clue or really am i Lying? Moron, watch the fights all that I state above is true. You cannot dispell any of what I say. I ask a legitimate question. How does it feel to know you have a picture of the phoniest man in boxing in your avatar. Did you know that DLH had sex with an underage girl? I bet you think Im making that up too. Im the one that needs the help according to you, yet you have a picture up of a guy who had sex who an underage girl. You are the one who needs the help.

If I was lying you could call me a hater.. I call you Mr. Denial. Please cite one example from above that is a fabrication. In life you can face the truth, or you can call names and run from the truth. Obviously you chose the latter!

Way to edit your post and take the Diego Corrales thing out. You thought he was Puerto Rican? Get a clue.

As far the rest, you base certain fights to determine if an entire race has heart?

Did Trinidad have heart when he valiatnly kept coming even though Hopkins was giving him a beating. Did he run out of the ring? No. You would've though.

Angel Manfredy happens to live like 10 minutes away from me. He lost the fight with PBF, and the only thing he "cried" about was that it was a premature stoppage. IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL LACKING HEART?!? (and by the way, I thought the stoppage was ok).

If you have the balls to step into a boxing ring and put on those gloves and fight. Heart isn't the only thing you have.
