Im a rican and maybe i get a little heat for this but i have to let it out of my chest, why i dont see in this forum very often that Mexivans fans give props to P.R. boxers like Cotto, Calderon, Juanma Lopez, Trinidad, ect.? I mean i know there is a rivary between P.R. and Mex boxers!!, but come on I enjoyed Juan Manuel Marquez performance last night to the fullest and i was rooting for him to win and i gave him all his props cause he is a true Champion and ring warrior, Why some of yall cant do the same with P.R. fighters?:huh
Almost all fans are biased to their fighters although I think mexican fight fans are the best of the bunch. I think they just respect warriors, regardless of what they are.
well maybe but have you see that in this site? like a Mexican fan giving Cotto or whoever P.R. fighter his props? ,,i cant recall:deal
I dont like their style, basically to you guys hitting and moving is called boxing but to us its called running. Most mex fighters are either the brawler who doesn't go in any direction but forward exp..Margo, Chavez, Arce, or they are skilled boxer brawlers exp finito, Marquez, DLH. I admit to like Cotto though hes one of my favorites.
I haven't noticed any Mexican fans biased againt PR fighters, unless you count the fact that they say Trinidad didn't beat Oscar, which is just out and out, undisputable fact. And I'm not Mexican.
I think everybody is a little biased. But Mexicans just take so much honor in the fact that their fighters are brawlers and have so much heart.
ok,,now i understand better how mexicans think,,its true to us hitting and move is a beauty but hey i guess thats all in tastes as you put it , at list your not biased and gave Cotto his props:good
Most mexican fans like Cotto and Trinidad and respect Calderon. Lopez hasn't been around long enough to be hated on. I really don't understand the point of this thread.
For your info? I was rooting for Cotto on any of his fight Zab Mosley ect of course when he fight's Mexicans i root for my boy's. Tito i loved to see him fight again when he fought Mexican's no! but rooting for him vs Joppy,David,B-Hop,Jones,Winky ect!! Juanma it's going to be hard for me to root for cause later on he is going to fight Vasquez Marquez but when he is not fighting any of my boy's i will root for him:good
no they just have some of the hardest little *******s who seem to b able to fight anyone anywhere, RESPECT!.
ok, man take it easy thats why i made the thread to see if i was wrong and i was just prejudging or however its said, but i see now that it is all wrong to generalized to a whole culture in this case Mexicans ,, just cause a bunch of biased people
