    Just interested on knowing..... Not any particular fight, but overall. Or just your take on the rivalry, period. Who in your opinion leads in terms of quality, not quantity, wins. Who has produce the greater overall fighters... etc.

    kinda hard to be invested in the rivalry when you're neither mexican nor puerto rican. its a national pride thing for them and we don't have that element.

    I appreciates a good brawl. so any fighter that fits the bill of the typical brawler: good punch, solid chin, plenty heart, and always comes to fight is the one i'll be rooting for. So I find myself rooting for mexicans 99% of the time, unless its someone like marquez (yes i said it!) or mijares for example.

    I could care less about nationality. I support great fighters, and there have been some amazing fighters from both countries. Eric Morales, and MAB are some of my all time favorites, while Cotto, Trinidad are fighters whom I always supported and respected.

    I support both countries. Recently Puerto Rico has been losing big time and I'm looking forward to their new prospects.

    Both are good, and produce great warriors that command mad respect.

    But the fans can be a little bit racist.
