Question to Mexican posters in regards to Roberto Duran....

I don't think most Mexicans care about this. I don't. I love Duran as a fighter but whether or not he has Mexican blood is neither here or there. What seperates a Mexican and a Puerto Rican and a Nicaraguan is not blood but where they grew up and their cultures that make them unique to those countries.

 

It was never an issue like eliqueiros says however it was common knowledge. Kind of like the fact that Ted Williams the hall of fame baseball player was half Mexican.

 

Mexican fighters are tough because Mexican are from a culture that embraces death. The aztecs worshipped death --today we still venerate the dead on Day of the Dead. If you look at Mexican art you see death romanticized. So undoubtedly his fearless attitude came in part from his roots. However, latinos are generally tough sob's.

 

Duran is great because he was duran, for me(mexican) he is the best latino fighter ever, natural born fighter

so you are telling me when a Rican fights a Mexican you don't get more fired up due to the national pride aspect of the fight.

 

I was about to call BS but apparently its true, he doesn't really look it.

 

This..

 

The first time I heard it I thought it was BS..

 

I did not know that Ted Williams is half-Mexican. Never heard that before

 

I've never seen him with a Mexican flag...

 

Has this ****** been banned yet? God damn ignorant sonuvabitch gets himself kicked out in under 50 posts.

Go die now.
