Is Sergio the next Great White hope even if hes latino??

And quite a few census polls and crime statistics dont even have latino on the list and are marked down as WHite unless stated other wise.. I work at a drug Rehab and mark down Latino clients as white unless stated other wise... Notice most of the crime stats only have black,hative,asian or other...

 

Well former LH champ Victor Galindez was very dark complected and didnt look european at all.... Its well documented that Carlos Monzon was native. Marcos Maidana that guy doesnt look like he has any european blood hell he could pass for a chinaman lol... But im sure the slanted eyes and features come from native background.

 

there are no such nations as Argentino, Americano or Brasileiros

There are europeans, that live in South or North America, all native Americans in the North are dead, we/vo got some in South

 

It should be noted that nobody - not even the Nazis, and they tried really hard - has ever been able to classify mankind into different races. There has just been way too much interbreeding going on for millenia.

Hence all this ruckus is in vain.
If a white person wants to see Martinez as their champion, so be it.

 

I'm pretty sure Maidana is actually half asian, on his mothers side. Probably Chinese, Japanese, something like that. Oddly enough there's more Japanese in Brazil than anywhere else other than Japan, I'd have thought it would have been somewhere more developed but there you go.

Martinez would actually fit in quite well as a "great white hope" most of the ones of the 1910's, 20's and 30's were Irish, Tunney, Dempsey, Braddock etc, as mentioned often not considered "white" by mainstream America and generally disliked and kept at arms length, except when they win in which case they're toast of the town. Martinez could easily fit in that catergory, latin is he was mowing lawns but accepted now he's the middleweight champ. If America cared enough about boxing to still want a great white hope, which I don't think it does. And there weren't all those European guys winning titles of course.

 

anarci you are mostly right on latin america has never included those from spain as tops of there list pedro carrasco over 100 wins 3 losses is not mentioned as greatest latin fighters javier castillejo not disscused as latin although name suggest other wise gabriel campillo could be mistaken in name sake an skin tone as cuban or dominican but what they all are is spanish world champs not latin name sake or skin tone dont determine what you are cuz this world is melting pot mixed culture everywere **** pourtugal has no champs but many brazilan champs contain pourtugesse blood an pourtugal cant claim them this white hope thing is bull****

 

Sergio Martinez is Bi-racial. Here is an early picture of him and his uncle:

Well, I don´t know now....
I´m brazilian (Latin America) but I have italian, spanish and portuguese blood, etc...Am I white ?
or latino ?

 

Ive never heard of Americans referring to a Huero South American as a white hope, not until recently on Esb when Martinez came on the scene... ive never heard Argentine Heavys Luis Firpo, Oscar bonavena referred to as whitre hopes

 

It's weird, but I just feel like saying it's up to you. But do you have an native blood in you? Otherwise, everyone here would say you were white, regardless of whether you didn't consider yourself that (Which I know can seem odd from your view). What do you actual consider yourself? Both or just Latino? Or just Brazilian?

 

Wtf.... Why does he look like such a ***** in this picture Look at the guy in the back... Hes like damn, whats wrong with this guy? Someone should photoshop this pic

If thats his uncle, Ill admit im wrong

 

In term of non-europeans in argentina you'e really talking < 5%.

The vast majority are pure blood european,and like I said,many are north european,as in Germany,Poland,Ireland.

On a side note,yo have "white fighters" like Jack Dempsey who was part native American! Hes was something like half Irish and half Cherokee.

 

I consider myself a latino......With european blood too.....A "white" skin latino maybe haha, I don´t know....
I do have native blood......
Here in South of Brazil there are europeans descendents, especially italians...80% of my friends have italian blood in them.....
Eder Jofre is from São Paulo...He is a french descendant....

 

Ted Williams was part Mexican. Makes him latino, well according to some here.

 

Martinez isn't considered white, by the white people that made the dumb categories of race up. He is a white hispanic. lol. If you are looking for a real white hope, then Dmitry Pirog is the real deal. Except those looking for a white hope, might reject him also, because he fights like a n!gga.
