Comments Thread For: Trinidad, Cotto React To Lack of Superstars in Puerto Rico

[EdWins]

If they always have somebody who is that somebody right now? Lol.

Danny Garcia, Felix Verdejo, uhh... roman martinez and juanma lopez still around no?

[True That]

What about that young kid who is like 15 supposed to be a prodigy just signed with top rank. They saying he could be the next PR superstar. This shyt all goes in cycles. Right now PR is kinda down but just a matter of time until the next hyped up kid who everyone rallies around comes.

Xander Zayas, I'm waiting for his pro debut. Puerto Rico also has a young amateur kid Lionel Colon, he has a few years before he hits pro though.

I know DSG was born in the U.S. but you know if they make the Danny vs. Mikey fight they going to advertise Mexico vs. Puerto Rico on that fight.

Other young prospects to consider are Subriel Matias and Danielito Zorrilla at 140.

Joseph Adorno at 130.

Angel Acosta at 108 is doing well right now.

Other possible prospects are Edgar Berlanga at 160, Janelson Figueroa at 147.

It's been really quiet with P.R. boxing, hopefully someone can emerge soon.

They are not superstars or elite fighters at this point.

Martinez is 36 years old

Lopez is a women beater

Danny can't speak Spanish

Félix Verdejo is a prime example of this article he has been baby manged his whole career.

Jose Bonilla and Ricky Marquez are the main culprits for the lack of PR stars

They have no real managerial skills and suck as trainers all while they scout young talent sign them to bs contracts and throw them to the wolves just to make a quick buck

In fact, word is Verdejo is slowly going to break away from Marquez later this year

All is left is that Jose Bonilla keeps away from the PR amateur circuit

They have Danny Garcia.... If he fights Mikey that would be a good PR/Mex fight

Real PR dont like DSG! Since herrera exposed him @ PR...
DSG got his own brand not sure how big his fan base is... but yeah

[Bronx23]

True...But u think they will come out to support him vs Mike?

If the promotion bills it as pr vs mex (they will) yes.

Danny would be a bigger star with a bigger following if he embraced the culture more. Doesn't even have to speak Spanish just rep the island more.

Danny should follow Mikeys blueprint

[ShoulderRoll]

Danny has fought MANY mexicans but the PR vs Mex angle don't get much play. Hell his last fight was against a Mexican and in Cali and nobody treated it as some PR vs Mex showdown. Danny last 2 out of 3 opponents were Mexican (Granados, Brando Rios), before that fought Robert Guerrero. Did any of these seem like a real PR Mex Showdown? lol A fight with Mikey won't either. Danny is a Philly fighter thats what he reps that's what you think about when you see him and doesn't speak Spanish.
