New Rivalry? Cuba vs Mexico

It's a very reasonable assumption.
There are about 8 million total Puerto Ricans and about 13 million total Cubans. Cuba had a world champion (the original Kid Chocolate) before Mexico or Puerto Rico. All of our ATGs and HOFers (Kid Gavilan, Kid Chocolate, Jose Napoles, "Sugar" Ramos, Luis Rodriguez) came before Castro took power. After Castro shut off the supply, we were relegated to amateur boxing for half-a-century. With the exception of Casamayor's defection, we didn't really get back into the pro game until the last few years.Comment

You think Miguel Vazquez is a joke? Or how about Carlos Molina? The thing is Mexico has fighters that brawlers, boxer punchers and boxers.Comment

You don't know what you're talking about. Castro shut off pro sports shortly after taking power. Cuba had more world champions before Castro took control. Even guys like Napoles and Ramos were already well into their pro careers when Castro took over. They fled the island to continue their campaigns. After a half-century, a few of our guys have managed to escape the island. The few that we've got have done pretty well, but they're still very few in number.Comment
