rigondeaux is one of the best technical boxers in the game , and Leo panticruz , frampton , quigg , Montiel and mares , have all ducked him . They have all ran scared of rigondeaux .
Lara beat Canelo , who is another coward who gave up his title not to fight golovkin .
What happens with all these Mexican fighters nowadays ?? They are all cowards .

Anyone can like or dislike rigondeaux style , but rigo beats them all .

And yes , Lazaro is a great name , for sure .

Hit and not be hit ; you can not hit what you don't see

Mira hermano we have to stop attacking each other.

Como Latinos we need to support one another not bash one another, cubano, boriqua, mexicano, colombiano todos somos uno.

Los africanos y blancos se apoyan no se atacan.

The ultimate irony is America is one of the main reason's for Cuba's isolation and a very large reason for it's poverty.

Wrong. It's their failed socialist policies that caused that. Look no futher that Venezuela for a modern example.

Up until the Cold War ended they had support from the USSR and the Communist Bloc. They were still a poor nation with folks on food and milk rations.

btw not defending castro in any way, but the (U.S backed) Batista makes Castro look like Gandhi.

How so? Castro has political prisons, he and Che murdered thousands upon seizing power and God knows how many since, and Castro has made the Forbes Richest List twice.

Freedom is what you make it... Nice gesture from Pero to go with his soul... He didn't have to.

Some guys here should quit living in the past.

The Cold War is long gone...

It's not the past, it's right now.

Do the Cuban people get to vote?

Does Cuba still have political prisons?

Does Cuba have freedom of the press?

Do the Cuban people get to own firearms?

Are the Cuban people still on food rations while Castro has made the Forbes Richest List twice?

wrong? nah you are just re-writing history with your own deluded bias mate.

Failed socalist policies? you are talking nonsense, the blockade on Cuba, is the MAIN reason, Having a Blockade on a tiny island is obviously going to have disastrous impacts, it's basically akin to the medieval tactic of surrounding a castle and not allowing any goods to leave or enter, thus forcing a ton of the castles residents to flee.

Venezuela is not comparable as A) it's not an island and B) it never had a blockade forced on it.
I dont favor any political ideology over another, but to blame Venuezela's problems on socialism alone is equally dumb

PS: Bastista was widely regarded as one of the worst dictators that the U.S has backed, among pinochet (among a whole host of others)

Yes, you were wrong.

And it's worth noting when challenged you went straight to insult....

Wrong again, and it's worth noting you've offered up zero proof when challenged as well.

There was/is no "blockade". Cuba is free to trade with any other countries, and they do. And yet the shortages persist. If you're going to accuse me of re-writing history you might want to stop doing that yourself.

Since the blockade excuse has been debunked as untrue, please explain how the shortages, rationing, etc came to be...

More insults.

And yes, your 'blockade' excuse doesn't fly with Venezuela's failed socialist experiment.

I'm curious, what do you blame the shortages, inflation, and massive wealth gap (remember, Chavez's daughter is now the richest person in Venezuela) since you refuse to blame socialism....

Try again, as that does not address my points about how Castro has killed many more and has political prisons to this day.

And please, do so without insult. It's telling you stooped to hurling insults so quickly, but please, try and defend your position with just facts from here on out. If you can't, then I'll just have to accept you have taken a stance you cannot defend in open debate.

I dont know about mexican fighters and my favorite fighter and Number 1 pound for pound fighter is Lomachenko and your compatriot guillermo ducked him for sure ....Guillermo didn't wanna go up to featherweight to tangle with Loma but is chasing Frampton and all the Mexicans you mentioned at Feathweight..in my book all the cubans , puertoricans and all the Spanish speaking people from the Caribbean are Tropical Mexicans....now as for Lara he lost to Canelo....Lara promised to break Canelos face and really talked his way into a PPV fight and when it came time to lay it on the line he ran and the instance he stayed in the pocket 7th rd mind you....Canelo punched Lara and produced a cut from there on out Lara ballerinad his way around so no Lara sucks....by the way Lomachenko,GGG, Kovalev and Klitschko are my favorite fighters.. .Guaranteed Lara will never headline a ppv event again....Hit and not be hit; you can not hit who runs around like a coward or ducks ....eg Lara and Guillermo

First garbechenko didn't want to go down to 124 and then refuse 10 pounds rehydration, El Chacal is 35 going on 36 years old and weights 125-126 pounds the night of the fight, I bet you anything you want that if they were to weight in the same day of the fight, Rigondeaux would still fight at 122 and garbechenco at lightweight, and about your book either you are a racist or you don't anything about ethnicity and geography, Mexico native people have nothing to do with your "tropical Mexicans", the culture is different, completely different, Spanish is the first language, we don't speak the same, so again racist or a moron?

Part, and I mean a large part of the problem was caused by USA policy, after the blockade castro have to turn to someone, Khrushchev receive him with open arms... by the way I still think he is sob.
