    Danny Never Represented His People Flag till he got some reconizition as a boxers and needed the fans,
    Danny Does Not Speak Spanish,
    Danny Does not embrace any part of the puerto rican culture.

    all that coupled with Puerto Rican not being a race but a nationality, tell me how is Danny Garcia Puerto Rican?
    Didn't know you hung out with Danny and his family

    Also, I know damn well any child of immigrant parents knows their language well enough to understand their parents when they ask their child to do a chore or when they get pissed at their child.

    Also, he spoke Spanish at the press conference in Puerto Rico at the end of his little speech.

      what's wrong with calling him puertorican-american. if he was born in the USA, it only makes sense in my opinion. yes he is still rican though

          were you born and raised there?
          they will treat you good but you ain't no real Filipino.
          My coworker full Filipino, born there moved to US as a kid, speaks the language, married to a Filipina but gets no love from the born and raised Filipinos
          seen the same with Mexicans and Chinese.

            I'm Puerto-Rican in the sense that my father's family is from PR, but I've never visited the island and I rarely if ever speak Spanish. I don't call myself Puerto-Rican, but I guess the overall point is: who's to tell Danny that he shouldn't?

              If Mayweather is African American i guess the other americans are English American or Dutch American or Irish American, etc.

                Danny knows more Spanish than Floyd knows whatever language his native ppl speak. If he even knows what country or language that is. My point is comparing a Puerto Rican American to an African American like Floyd is dumb. Danny's parents are Puerto Rican born, Floyd's are American born. Most African Americans never been to any part of Africa. Almost every single Puerto Rican born in the USA (with Puerto Rican born parents) has gone to Puerto Rico a few times in their life. It's just different bro. You don't get it I guess......

                    If Floyd is African American because his ancestors came from Africa I guess everybody is African-something in a sense because everybody`s ancestors came from Africa too.
