    My top three also, but I must add Hector "Macho" Camacho,
    John John Molina, and Edwin "Chapo" Rosario.
    Hard to pick only three from Puerto Rico.

    I'm sorry but a true Puerto Rican would never call any Puerto Rican boxer a disgrace, especially when they are representing our flag, I believe I speak for all real Boricuas.
    I put my money on a Puerto Rican boxer even if he was fighting Superman...
    yeah that's Puerto Rican pride!!!

    sad thing about espinosa. he lives around here in the sf bay area. he's a stock boy now at costco. saw him one time when i was shopping and i was so excited that it was him that i wanted to take a pic with him but not sure if that was type of place where he wanted his fans to see him working after life as a world class warrior.

    If Espinoza had a chin he would be something special. This is probably his finest moment.

    They had one that fought in lower weights and was the first chinese to fight for a world title but he came up short. I think hes a flyweight. Hes still fighting.

    here's the first boxer from china to fight for a world title. yeah i noticed that they won quite a few titles. however i can't help but to think that it was in beijing and there's a little hometown cooking even though it's on a point system
