The Caribbean Invasion in boxing

juanma is rican

 

When is peter quliin fighting next?

 

When are the Cubans and the Ricans not invading boxing?

 

Quillin is from Brooklyn and he's only half Cuban.

 

I understand its Caribbean Latinos in all, but what about the Jamaicans, Haitians, Guyanese boxers if any. Apparently fighters with some Jamaican descent (parents) are pretty good boxers and it has been this way for a while it seems

Lennox Lewis
Glen Johnson (actually born in Jamaica )
Junior Witter
David Haye
Donovan Ruddock
Mike McCallum (Born in Jamaica)
Chris Eubank
O'Neil Bell (Born in Jamaica)

You figure with the high Jamaican population in NY and FL it would be more Jamaican boxers (same applies to Puerto Ricans (it seems debatable considering them Caribbean but I could be wrong.)

Berto is actually Hatian-American and Jean Pascal parents are from Hati but came to Canada before he was born.

 

Rican911, you forgot these Cuban Beasts!!! What happened???

Yuriorkis Gamboa ( featherweight )
Erislandy Lara ( Jr. Middleweight )
Yordanis Despaigne ( LightHeavy )
Yunier Dorticos ( Cruiser )
Luis Franco ( featherweight )
Yudel Johnson ( Jr. Middleweight )
Alexei Acosta ( bantamweight ) Ireland
Luis Garcia ( middleweight ) Ireland
and also notable Cuban ex-amateur stars,
Sullivan Barrera ( lightHeavy )
Ismaikel Perez ( Heavyweight ) Ireland
Humberto Savigne ( Heavyweight )
Rances Barthelemy ( lightweight )
Angelo Santana ( lightweight )

 

Yep, I would consider Peter " Kid Chocolate " Quillin Cuban even though he is half Cuban ( by father only ). He always represents Cuba when fighting and he always wears his Cuban flag in his fighting shorts. Quillin can also be considered " Cubano " and yes, 75 % of Cubans ( specially on the Island not in USA ) are pure Black and Mulatos ( partially Black ). Many people don't know this fact, " In the 1700's and 1800's, Cuba had the biggest population of African Slaves and was the biggest Slave trade Port, and slave masters from all countries went there to actually buy Afro-Cubans as slaves for their needs! This is why Cuba has such a " huge " African-descent population! In reality, today's Cuba is 40% pure Black, 35% Mulatos ( partially Black ) and the very small remaining percent are whites!!!

 

Jamaican boxing is on the slide my friend :?. It hurts but I am sure there will be another Mike McCallum in the next 10 years.

 

you forgot about Luis Cruz

You ****ers are all wrong ... Quillen is from GR, MI ... and only recently has been representing NY ... he's straight out of the midwest ... MI-IL

 

And Teofilo Stevenson, he is half Jamaican. His mother had settled in Cuba.
