Kind hard to do since he doesnt live there . Im also of mexican descent but I dont claim mexico as my country

Well that's on you. You don't have to if you don't want to but how you gonna tell someone that he isn't MEXICAN just cause it don't fit your agenda??

[whoseyourdaddy]

Correct me if I'm wrong but you're basically saying that nobody is really an American because your ethnicity is everything? Leonardo Di Caprio is just a citizen but he's Italian, right? Did he bring back that Oscar he won a couple of years ago to Italy? Is Scarlett Johansson Polish and Danish and not really an American? I mean we can go on and on.

Bottom line everyone in America has roots in other countries. Isn't that what makes you an American???

Andy Ruiz is an American of Mexican descent. This is a fight between an American and an Englishman. The American happens to be of Mexican decent and the Brit is of Nigerian heritage. Shouldn't be that difficult.

And what's the problem with Andy claiming to be Mexican, if he wants to be called mexican, so what? he has the right to say and do whatever the hell he wants, he lives in a free country, last time I check that was a right to citizens of this beautiful nation.

My father is white and my mom is Mexican and I'm proud of both heritages, as a matter of fact, my dad is the most Mexican gringo ever. He wishes to retire in San Miguel de Allende and spend the rest of his life there, where people are nice, humble and very caring.

I claim both countries as my own because when I go there they don't treat me like a stranger, on the contrary people that don't even know me or my family they open up their home to us just because their family knew friends of my family.

There is a big community of retirees from all over the world, but 90% of Americans over 1.5 million and none of them have ever been disrespected or put down. So if Andy likes to count himself as a Mexican, so what?!

fatty get in shape

Lolx......breazeale that was in shape, we all saw how it ended.

Ruiz es Mexicano con nopal o sin nopal

[_Rexy_]

born and has lived in California his whole life, so far as I know. is this not true?

That mean ODLH isn’t Mexican?

[Boxfan83]

He was an amateur champion and represent México in a lot of amateur tournament

Fanpoints lol

U say fanpoints like its a bad thing. No shame in him making fans, thats dinero. Mexican fans + a Snickers sponsorship would be life changing.

[4truth]

That has nothing to do with it!
Many people like myself are born in the US but I'll always say I'm Mexican!
I'm proud of both countries so I'll say I'm Mexican born in L.A!
I'm proud of both countries!

Be whatever you imagine yourself to be but how are you going to take a title BACK to a country you never lived in.
I was born in California too, how am I going to take a title back to the Ukraine?

[vitali1999]

It's going to be the same result too. Both, Ruiz and Arreola, just too fat and heavy to compete with Super Heavyweights.

Yes Ruiz is Arreolas clone

[Redd Foxx]

Lol @ that quote. And, people are defending it like it makes sense somehow.
What an idiot. If he doesn't appreciate the opportunities and life the US gave him, I hope he does go to Mexico and stays.
Being proud of your heritage doesn't obligate a person to say ******, pandering things.
