Puerto Rico Have Been Demoralized and Stripped of All Pride In Boxing? Champs? Any?

[billeau2]

I have been an avid boxing fan for a very long time and the Puerto Rico vs Mexico rivary has always given great fights but in all major fights Mexico has always dominated Puerto Rico and especially in recent years Mexico has basically stripped puerto rico of all their champions.

Have Mexican fighters completely demoralized their country to the point they just feel beat before they even get into the ring against a Mexican? Countless times Mexico has gone into Puerto Rico To defeat their Fighter yet Puerto Ricans never dare to be great and go to Mexico to defeat their fighter.

I am trying to think who they have left as a legit champion and I cant think of a single one, Cotto gave up the belt becuase he knew he was gonna lose to canelo so why take an ass beating and have to pay fees you know lol so he just gave up the belt and heed to notion he cant beat canelo.

What happened to Puerto Rico boxing why have all their fighters seem to died off?

I am reminded of an article a Boxingscene Writer (Stephen "Breadman" Edwards) wrote about Styles certain people (race) have problems with (its a great read link below)

Are the Mexican and Mexicans style just too tough for Puerto Ricans too handle?

Lets look at a map, including india and china,,, and for the sake of ****s and giggles lets mash china, mongolia, India up and make it one big country...lets look at all those people and the boxing talent it has produced...Now lets take some good size countries and do like wise, russia, germany, etc...

Lets take two islands with many fewer people than this area described above and lets compare it to Mexico, these islands being Cuba and Puerto Rico. Do you realize how much boxing royalty has come from these two relatively small island nations? do you realize how many more people are in Mexico and the United States? YES mexico and US also produce boxing royalty, but per capita?

Puerto Rico has nothing to be ashamed of. The mere fact that it has rivaled countries that produce nothing (llike China and India) is amazing much less when considering that cuba and puerto rico rival this country and Mexico for the amount of great fighters produced.

thats alwasy your guys cop out lol. country size, country size dont mean shit in a ring whens its 1 on 1 and 1 on 1 Mexico's best always destroys puerto rico's best. #FACTS.

Bring up country size when you fools end up getting jumped in the ring (although it might feel like it when a Mexican whops on that ass but its still just a 1 on 1 fight), but till then STFU please with that shit. Has no bearings on a 1 on 1 fight between the countries best.

People dont consider him PR, lol. Def not people from the island.

thats what I was gonna say.

[microMXL]

Danny Garcia does not count as PR, neither Mikey Garcia counts as mexican
I like the rivalry with my fellows boricuas, most of the time they produce awesome fights

[sugar ray lenrd]

thats what I was gonna say.

but he is Boricua...And you gloating over Canelo beating Cotto a welterwgt? Be real son, Canelo couldn't even drop Cotto. And Cotto's have won big fights
Mosley who KO'd (margocheato), Margarito, Zab, Sergio (bum kness? tough luck! Chavez fought beat Rosario when he was already in a drug habit, same thing with Camacho (so please no excuses)Trinidad, Gomez, Benitez & Calderon have beaten many Mexicans...

[Basco]

mosley fight explains everything.

mosley was old, past it on a losing streak.

most great fighters in their prime wins easily. not cotto.



cotto will get in HOF due to popularity/commercial success.

he's the puerto rican arturo gatti.

4 weight class champion.......but so is Broner! LMAO!

4 weight class champion.......but so is Broner! LMAO!

yup, cotto and broner are the same career wise.

[sugar ray lenrd]

Amen, brother!

Canelo is the new Godfather of Puerto Rico, tho.

Jose Cotto

Kermit Cintron

Kneeguel Cotto....


line them up!

Like TITO is the godfather of Mexico...
-Campas (55 wins 0 lost 50 ko) lost by ko
-Vargas (undefeated also) lost by ko
-De la hoya (undefeated also) lost by split dec (ran because he knew he was gonna get KO'D

[sugar ray lenrd]

yup, cotto and broner are the same career wise.

Pls don't even try to put Broner down...if it wasn't for his ****** antics I would been a fan of his. The guy is a smart boxer, for instance he should have never taken that fight against Porter & just waited like all these welters that don't even want to risk fighting one another...
