A good example of knowing the difference between the two is Puerto Rican fighters. Puerto Rico, your Caribbean neighbor and one of Mexico's biggest rivals. They have an outstanding amateur program and constantly develop great amateur talent. However once these guys hit the pro's they know that they have to put on entertaining fights.
Look at Miguel Cotto. When he became pro he could have easily just box his way to boring UD's at 140. Instead he chose to go toe to toe and bring us some of the most entertaining fights during his reign at 140. The guy understood there was a difference between fighting professionally and when he was fighting in the Sydney Olympics. In doing this he developed a following that went beyond just PR fans. You don't really believe he's the 3rd highest draw in boxing based only on PR fans do you? The guy learned English and worked hard to gain an audience.
Until your Cuban boys learn this, you're always going to be in here complaining about someone not wanting to fight your guys.
And again why is it that when Mexican fighters want to fight for money they're cowards for not wanting to fight your Cuban fighters, but it's OK for Cuban fighters to look for money fights?
Why isn't Barthelemy calling out Burgos, Thompson, Miura, Uchiyama? Why isn't he saying he'd move up 5lbs and fight Crawford, Bey or Vasquez?
Could it be he wants Mikey Garcia because of the $$$??

Have you not realized that fans leaving the stadium before the fight is over is bad for the overrall sport?
No of course not. To you anyone who doesn't immediately fight the fighters you want are simply cowards.

A guy that has 9 KO in 14 fights and he is not exicting enough, give me a break, if he were to be mexican you guys would had him in the HOF already, some mexicans should grow a pair just like zarate, pintor and sanchez (RIP) used to have...
Set-up to fail??????????? Fact is, he failed on his own, dude was given 118 trash, at 122 and did nothing but stare at it, that's a fact.

Bring back finito, zarate, pintor, zamora, pipino...
As a dude who doesn't like Mares, Agbeko lost both fights, Mares low blowed to death, but if you think Agbeko was winning, you're ******ed. At best Agbeko, he should've gotten a DQ, dude was never winning either fight.

Barthelemy vs Garcia
Garcia is going up to 140 lbs. He has been called out by Gamboa to deaf ears and recently by Rances Barthelemy, who can easily fight him at either weight 135 or 140 lbs. In my opinion Mikey, wants no part of either fighter.
