long title reigns

K to you for remembering Canazales. He's an all-time great no one ever mentions. Johnson was good to; but Canazales was something else.

I started watching boxing after or just before canazlaes move up i weight, never did see him at his weight class but i heard he was really good.

This fell out, I dont know, maybe 8-10 years ago. I used the African American and he got all upset. I thought that I was being politicaly correct.

Never spoke to or heard from again. Id ask people where he was at and nobody knows. He does what he can where he has to. He is a retired champion who is probably still facing adversities.

Well i know didn't make a lot of money as other champions but he must live well off, he must have at least made 1 to 2 million in his boxing career. His fight with hamed im sure got him some good money.

So what it boils down to is some black people ain't proud of where they came from and the people they represent. But i can understand your point of view with european-american.

I only went to Mexico twice, once as an infant an another as a young kid.

I consider myself Chicano which means Mexican-American. I have no problem with someone calling me Mexican or Mexican-American.

Long reigning champions are to be admired, but NOT the ones like Woongjongkam who wont come out of Thailand and hasnt faced better than a C opponent in the last 5 years or so.

Yes. My sister in law family is like 4 generation Chicano or somwhere along those line. And yet, her dad is a proud person of his Mexican heritage and speaks spanish.

If you're proud of your people you'll never deny them.
