I understand its Caribbean Latinos in all, but what about the Jamaicans, Haitians, Guyanese boxers if any. Apparently fighters with some Jamaican descent (parents) are pretty good boxers and it has been this way for a while it seems Lennox Lewis Glen Johnson (actually born in Jamaica ) Junior Witter David Haye Donovan Ruddock Mike McCallum (Born in Jamaica) Chris Eubank O'Neil Bell (Born in Jamaica) You figure with the high Jamaican population in NY and FL it would be more Jamaican boxers (same applies to Puerto Ricans (it seems debatable considering them Caribbean but I could be wrong.) Berto is actually Hatian-American and Jean Pascal parents are from Hati but came to Canada before he was born.
Anybody know? Only fought four times this year, maybe its because he had trouble in the ring, and there working it out at the gym. Cubans and Dominicans are a new thing to me Yep...but he reps Cuba, and most Cubans are black anyway?.... I meant great fighters yes, its a Latin thing I quess....
Cuba and Dominicans, have some great fighters, both will do very big things in boxing in the next coming years.
Rican911, you forgot these Cuban Beasts!!! What happened??? Yuriorkis Gamboa ( featherweight ) Erislandy Lara ( Jr. Middleweight ) Yordanis Despaigne ( LightHeavy ) Yunier Dorticos ( Cruiser ) Luis Franco ( featherweight ) Yudel Johnson ( Jr. Middleweight ) Alexei Acosta ( bantamweight ) Ireland Luis Garcia ( middleweight ) Ireland and also notable Cuban ex-amateur stars, Sullivan Barrera ( lightHeavy ) Ismaikel Perez ( Heavyweight ) Ireland Humberto Savigne ( Heavyweight ) Rances Barthelemy ( lightweight ) Angelo Santana ( lightweight )
Yep, I would consider Peter " Kid Chocolate " Quillin Cuban even though he is half Cuban ( by father only ). He always represents Cuba when fighting and he always wears his Cuban flag in his fighting shorts. Quillin can also be considered " Cubano " and yes, 75 % of Cubans ( specially on the Island not in USA ) are pure Black and Mulatos ( partially Black ). Many people don't know this fact, " In the 1700's and 1800's, Cuba had the biggest population of African Slaves and was the biggest Slave trade Port, and slave masters from all countries went there to actually buy Afro-Cubans as slaves for their needs! This is why Cuba has such a " huge " African-descent population! In reality, today's Cuba is 40% pure Black, 35% Mulatos ( partially Black ) and the very small remaining percent are whites!!!
just named three with videos, how meny do you think, are actually good on that list? Yep, all esle I know Puerto Rico is the lightest country in the Carribbean, their more Spanish, white, and Indian.
Jamaican boxing is on the slide my friend :?. It hurts but I am sure there will be another Mike McCallum in the next 10 years.
You ****ers are all wrong ... Quillen is from GR, MI ... and only recently has been representing NY ... he's straight out of the midwest ... MI-IL
