Comments Thread For: Canelo: Mexican Boxing School Way Better Than Cuban

[LouIE G]

I don't give a dime, I have an intelligent conversation with a few of my fellow posters instead of arguing or trying to refute things that are not that refutable, why don't you read and learn? For real how old are you? Because I really don't care how many Champions Cuba had in the past, I'm enjoying this time because for the first time in over 50+ years I have a few countrymen doing some noise, who do you think are my favorites fighters for the past 50 years?

Cant argue with that, good for you but Im sure there is a mexican fighter in there somewhere...and i was born in 1984 so how old would that make me?, oh and my bday already passed

You still growing, don't think everything you read or heard is the truth do your own homework and nobody is always right, including you, not one but a few,
barrera
chiquita
puas
canto
duran
hagler
tyson
finito
chacon

They should also have more American football superstars... Has to be a a country that participates heavily in the sport. I can't say for sure but I'd put a hefty bet on that if polled boxing would be most PR/Cubans/Mexicans favorite or 2nd favorite sport. I'd don't think the Chinese poll would be quite the same.

Again speculation I could be wrong.

American Football is the third most popular sport in Mexico behind soccer and boxing.

My favorite excuse that Cubans and Puerto Ricans come up with, . The United States has 317 million people. China has 1.3 billion people. Why does Mexico have more champs?

To your point if it was somehow possible to take a poll of all active to participants in boxing per country in boxing. Do you disagree that PR destroys the others in per participant champion percentage?

From a Cuban that lists Finito Lopez as the greatest of all time.

Must have butt hurt Canelo when Lara said he's taking him to Cuban school.

Mexico did learn a lot from Cuban boxing, there's no doubt in that. At the same time, boxing came from England, was perfected in the U.S and we can argue we owe it all to them.

The fact is, Mexico is pretty good at boxing.

Amen people got so butthurt over the schooling shot people posted on that damn twitter they still fuming and people still bring it up it's quite hilarious even chepo still sour about it, but have to admit it did get people stirred up for this fight, so ends up being a good thing in the end any of the **** talking is just that and has little bearing in the fight.

Okay. Mexico is about 10 times the population of Cuba, so Mexico should have 10 times more champs, right? Cuba has about 20 champs all-time, Mexico has about 200. So?

Not to mention all the non-Mexicans that are a part of Mexico's population. I don't think Cuba has many foreigners. You could flip things a million different ways.

I couldn't care less who has the better boxing school. I think they're both great.

But yes, your numbers show that Cuba is the greatest of all-time at everything. I'm grateful to be in your presence, thank you.

Oh my god is not about population dude Cuban athletes are not allowed to turn pro if there are 15 active Cuban pro's with real Cuban pedigree that's high it is not about how many millions each country has. Is not like all boxers in Cuba can just go pro seeing a Cuban Boxer that escaped and made it to the pro's young with real amateur pedigree is extremely rare like a damn unicorn rare.
