    The most headbutts comes from misunderstanding so probably you right
    ... but not after Cotto spit on your face.

    He wouldn't do ****! Especially if My boy Paul Williams is around! :happy

    Honestly, that **** don't matter to me either. I like PW, Pac, Clottey, Lennox, Bhop.. whatever. I really don't pay attention to their nationality.

    But to answer the question, it would have to be Dawson and Williams

    spit in my face?

    really....

    your not even an american to understand what im talking about first of all....

    theres enough latins in america for america to share them..... america is that mixed up...

    and cotto would probably just be like

    "im american? speak to my promoter"

    I think you getting to big credit for the sake of recent immigrants.
    Puerto Rico is indeed a part of US in some sense but probably none
    of the boricauas feel to be more Americans than Puerto Ricans.

    Its like the Russians are getting false credit for Wlad and Vitaly.

    walk wtih me says= America supports latino fighters as our own
    thunder says = untrue
    walk with me says = we accept cotto and margo as our own because of america's latin influence
    thunder says = untrue ask the 20,000 latin AMERICAN'S what cotto is

    do you get it? 500k (supposedly) ordered marg-cotto... america accepts latin fighters as our own

    ... more recently Americans tend to "accept" Haye, Hatton and Calzaghe
    but it doesn't change the fact they are still British.

    but no matter how much commercially Haye or Calzaghe improves they
    will still be British and

    .... both Cotto and Margarito are/were/will be true public/street icons in
    Puerto Rico and Mexico respectively, while they will be no more than PPV meat in US.

    They are popular in US just because they are popular in puertorican
    and mexican immigrant community, not in US population in general.

    DLH or Juarez are the right examples of latino boxer who are fully
    assimilated by US public as the US fighters.
