Do Mexicans Claim Duran

[kidbazooka]

I personally don't know anyone that has. He was born in Panama and represents that country.

I would not even see how someone could or why it would matter. I always repped US when I boxed because this is where I am from even though my family is from Mexico generations down the line.

I hear you but you’re in the minority bro.

Oscar is American born n raised but he also repped Mexico same goes for Fernando Vargas, Mikey Garcia, Ryan Garcia all Americans born here but they rep there background it’s just how boxing goes.

Micky Ward is American born n raised too yet he always repped the Irish flag.

He was born in Panama. Naseem Hamed was born in the UK.

Naseem is not a Mexican fighter, he is a UK fighter. Duran is not a Mexican fighter, he is a Panamanian fighter. The same way Jeff Horn is an Australian fighter and not a UK fighter. Mexican is not a race, it's a nationality, hence why a pale as a ghost ginger man is the most popular fighter in Mexico.

Green for you. Couldn't have said it any better.

He always represented Panama as a fighter so I consider him Panamanian, just like a lot of people consider Jose Napoles a Mexican fighter because that's what he represented.

Mexico vs Panama, Duran is ride or Die marea roja. PTY 507 k xopa, no diplomacy he’s pana.

I’m proud of my Nigerian heritage but I’ll never rep it. Duran Is %10000 panameño.

He is from Panama....

I’m not seeing the Naseem Hamed and Mexico connection? His background is Yemen no?

That’s fine that think that but you do know he’s gone on record claiming his Mexican heritage.

Yes he is Panamanian no doubt and born there but ignoring the fact that he’s part Mexican just doesn’t make sense either he himself claims it.

You're not seeing the point...I even added Jeff Horn to make it easier for you. I'm sure Jeff Horn descends from people who came from the UK, but no-one would claim he is a British fighter as he was born in Australia and was raised there his whole life.

If a man from the USA has a child in Australia and the child is raised in Australia his whole life, is he an 'American'? If you want to claim Duran is of a specific ethnicity (some ethnic tribe) then fair enough, but 'Mexican' is just a nationality. A Chinese man, an African man, a European man can all move to Mexico and have a child with their same race wife and their child would be Mexican.
