Are Philippines & Mexico the new rivalry in boxing?

uh-huh!:good

 

With PAC currently beating great mexicans one after the other, and the Philippines winning the world cup, this is going to be a long rivalry. I wonder which country is Hoya going to match up with the pinoys next year.

 

japan?

 

Yes, it is a new rivalry

 

Philippines VS Mexico rivalry? No such thing.

In boxing forums, yes there is.

 

Oh yeah i dont think it will be a hated rivalry when i was at the boxing world cup everyone seem to get along fine,i was talking to this mexican dude,he was saying "Damn you guys are good your fighters are so skillful and we give each other a high fives.

 

competitive spirit, not rivalry.

 

I tend to root for the Philippines in most cases, however, this upcoming Pac-Man-Barrera fight is hard for me to choose, as I like them both. I'll be happy with either one winning.

 

Mexico already had gone long way in boxing, it's already in the history, they had a lot of great fighters. I believe Philippines just had this recognition after Pac's feat. But this nation also had greats of their own. Having these new faces shining other than Pacquiao, well I can say yes for now, perhaps in divisions where both country had rivalry.

 

Well, I guess you haven't heard of Gabriel 'Flash' Elorde, Pancho Villa, Rolando Nabarete yet.. These warriors and several more fighters once dominated international boxing arenas long before Manny Pacquiao was born. Maybe, it just happened that with the advent of media(fights are now easily televised internationally), Pacquiao and other PINOY boxers enjoy more exposure than those who came before them.

Nevertheless, I'm not underrating Mexico's legacy when it comes to boxing--definitely a home of fearless warriors.

 

That's true, just a friendly Rivalry. Both countries are Proud of their warriors. Don't see any hate there at Ringside. I was sitting near the the dugout & every losing Mex fighter passed by I'll cheer them " hey Good fight Man!!" When Ponce pass by I yelled you're " Mas Macho"!! I even yelled " Filipino Mas Machoooo" when Pinoy's are leading 5-0 & after Lupe contreras just announced Boom vs Ponce. Everybody around me both Mex & Fil just laugh & have fun. Only here in boxing forum where you can find haters showing their Balls.

Wassup Knockout, where did you seat at??? Did you noticed me?? Ringside 5, the Guy holding a Flag with Pac Jacket & Pac Shirt.? Why don't you make your own Ringside report as I did???

 

I still think Mexico is far better boxing country than Philippines.

Matter of fact, there are rivalries between mexican fighters. They are fighting each other within Mexico. You can not say the same with Philippines.

 

Well i was sitting at ring 2 row f way in the front oh yeah you were the one holding the pac jacket and shirt i reameaber seeing that as a report i didnt make one i was to busy enjoying the the fights to even bother,So did you take any pics with anyone?

 

Theres no rivalry....maybe on this site, but lets be honest....mexico/mexican americans are putting out way too many good fighters in quantity for their to be a rivalry......im not knocking the philipines(spelled wrong) but just being real.......in the last 10 years how many Mexican/mexican american fighters have been top P4P fighters as compared from the philipines.....pac is a great fighter..but he cant fight every mexican fighter.....theres no rivalry....on this site, people debate on pac vs X fighter...but when you look at boxing as a whole, theres no rivalry at all...
