    Come on man. Mexicans don't want to admit ****.

    Skill wise you can't seriously tell me that Mexicans have more skillfully better boxers than Puerto Ricans.

    Izzy shouldn't be on the list. His only "skill" was have a naturally granite chin and power punching.

    Well his granite chin and power punching got him to the top 5 p4p list, as well as made him the superbantamweight of the decade.

    Population of Puerto Rico: 3.7 million
    Population of Mexico: 112 million

    Puerto Rico absolutely obliterates Mexico. And any other country for that matter.

    They have the most champs in history per capita. Thats about it. US and Mexico have greater champions historically.

    This is in no way is a disrespect to PR, as they too have some of the best fighters out there.

    how can you honestly say that ricans have the more skilled fighters, when you we have 3 of probably the most complete fighters, EVER......sanchez, finito and marquez IMO have more skill than anything PR has to offer......then you have guys under them with the skills of barrera, morales, chavez etc etc....
