    Has there ever been another moment in history where such competition for notoriety existed between a stateside Hispanic/Latino fighter and their motherland counterpart? For instance, a motherland Mexican can say it's all about Canelo for Mexican's, and stateside fan can say wait, not so fast, what about Mikey Garcia. Same goes for Puerto Rico with Danny and Cotto. For Puerto Rican's, belt holder's stateside outnumber the island. Then you got Collazo making a resurgence. Is there a trend going on here, is this my imagination, if not, what's driving it, skill, population, other?

    Its always been that way, you had Camacho NY and Rosario PR, BOTH RICANS in the 80

    's and Chavez Mexico and DLH Los Angeles, both MEXICAN in the 90's, it is nothing new, hell you had

    Olivares and Chacon in the seventies, Carlos Ortiz was a Puerto Rican from NY and was

    treated like royalty in PR ....for us Puerto Ricans. I will tell you that I cheered as loudly for

    Trinidad as I did for Camacho and Gomez as I did for Garcia or Cotto, Island or not Puerto

    Ricans are Boricua as they say even if theyre in outer space.

    I'm starting to see a dividing line in Canelo/Angulo. It seems like Angulo is pulling most of the Mex/american support!

    We've never been that cheerful for Mexican Americans here in Mexico, De La Hoya could be an exception... yet Chavez was way bigger down here.

    there is a common denominator in all these so called latino/hispanic fighters....

    their indigenous blood.

    WHAT indigenous blood?
    'how much of that blood is in JC Chavez or a kid like Danny Garcia?
    its too easy to oversimplify YOU MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE DIVERSE NATURE OF LATINS AND THE VARIOUS REGIONS FORM WHICH THEY COME.

    Problem is that the US American boxing community is shrinking and the Latin American's are starting to fill in the gap (alongside some of the Europeans)
