Puerto Rico vs Mexico is the best rivalry ever??

Yes mexico versus puerto rico is the best boxing rivalry we have so far.

 

Interesting Note...PR's first champion Sixto Escobar won his title from a Mexican.

 

That's a no brainer. There were many Tribes besides the Aztecs in Mexico, and many are still around. But they were all under the Aztec Empire. True not all Mexicans are "Mesitzos" (though the majority are) and there are many other cultures that have contributed to it's mixing pot.

Even though a Mexican may not have authentic Aztec blood, they still might have that "Aztec warrior" spirit and mindset. It's engrained in the culture, look at the Mexican flag, the Aztec spirit is preserved within it for all Mexicans to remember and pay homage to. That's why they refer to themselves as "Aztec Warriors". Comprendes? :good

By the way The MEX vs PR rivalry is the best out there in boxing!!!

 

true.

 

Yeah, that rivalry begins and ends with Manny.
Mexico's rival is the great PR.

 

Didn't realize this thread goes back to Margo/Cotto.
What was the point of bumping this one?

 

:thumbsup

 

you should put cintron vs margo TWICE: Mex
and then margo vs cotto: Mex
and then calderon vs. segura: Mex

:deal

 

basically, its mexico against the world.

 

Mexico vs the world. Mexico ko 1

 

Some classics, forgotten bouts (this is how incredible this rivalry is):

Kid Azteca-Cocoa Kid
*Draw
*Azteca UD
*Azteca UD
Carlos Ortiz-Sugar Ramos
*Ortiz KO
*Ortiz KO

and the FIRST mexico v. pr title fight:
*Sixto Escobar KO Rodolfo Casanova

 

Sugar Ramos was cuban tho. He fought off of Mexico, but still Cuban.

Carlos Ortiz KO Battling Torres is one not mentioned too much as well.

Others:

Wilfred Benitez SD Carlos Palomino
Pipino Cuevas KO Angel Espada x3
Ricardo Lopez TKO Alex Sanchez


By far the greatest rivalry in boxing :good

It goes from waaay back, through many weight classes, its a great rivalry, has been in the past and will continue to be in the future.

 

I thought Ramos was half Cuban half Mexican. Well anyway, I laugh at these other suggestions, no other rivalry comes close.

 

not only is it the best, but skillwise it's ****en insane.....just take a look at the juanma vs rafa fight....great ****en scrap, but with real skill involved......

 

I believe Ramos eventually became a Mexican citizen, like how Jose Napoles did, i could be wrong tho.

But yes, no other boxing rivalry comes close to the great Mex-PR rivalry.
