    Funny enough he sounds like an Inis Mór native, wouldn't know he picked up the tongue in Patagonia, perhaps a bit off topic but we also saw "Playboy of the Western World" down the Abbey, great craic.

    Latinos are white (it's an ethnic group of the Caucasian race). So I guess.

    And actually, anyone who is a descendant of an ethnic group previously part of the Roman Empire or a country with a romance language can claim to be Latino. The French, Portuguese, Spanish, Swiss, Italians, and Romanians are all technically Latinos too.

    I already explained to you this Time Magazine cover was only released in Asia. The same magazine that came out in the USA had a different cover. So this cover really was more like "The Great Asian Hope".

    My father used to spar with Andre's father at the old Crestmoor High School that is not there anymore in San Bruno. They were both on the boxing team they had at the time back in the 70s.

    Said nobody would get in the ring with him because he was bigger, good fighter, and everybody was scared to get worked/KO'd. My father would spar with him even though he was smaller and a couple years younger.

    Said he got knocked around a bit, but never down or out. :bbb

    He is THE Middleweight Champion. Great White Hopes don't win Championships. The guy is legit and can fight.

    latinos or latins are not a race you ****ing ignorants
    They're a group who shares similar languages and cultures traced back to ancient latin language.
