    What does Black people have to do with Mex/PR boxing?

    Are you saying that the gym program/relationships and overall production of fighters up north aren't on the decline??

    Ok then how about Puerto Ricans having more boxers per square mile than any other country in the world. Thats got to mean something to you. Imagine how many more fighters Mexico will have if that was the case.

    Not when you're dealing in millions. It can be skewed if you have a really small nation with only 1 champion. A fluke, so to speak. PR have had over 60 champions. It ain't no fluke.

    I honestly do believe that PR have the better boxers. Yes I will say that you guys have more boxers therefore you could have more quality boxer than us, but compared to our numbers and only our numbers we have more quality fighters.

    Yes and why wouldnt we?

    Historically, it has produced the most ATG's, and their greatest fighters are greater than any other nations greatests.

    The U.S is unique because in it's numbers it include Mexicans, blacks, whites, asians, italians where as Mexico or PR there all the same.

    By quality I mean acomplishments such as reign and quality of rivals, let me give you an example, name 3 PRican fighters from 2000-2010 that = Marquez, Morales and Barrera...

    No, born in the U.S.A = American.

    So they are greater than Mexico by your very own criteria.

    With that time frame none.
    Yet Cotto has the best record from 140-147 of our era.



    You guys are disputing something yet not disputing the actual subject
    You guys are making small side debates to resolve a bigger debate.

    What does our champs from 2000-2010 have anything to do witht is arguement? What does black fighters have anything to do with this?

    If you guys are trying to say Mex is better then PR then thats a hopeless arguement that will never end
