    If you don't have Pascual Perez in your Argentine top 10, you objectively know less than nothing.

    The guy probably has Carlos Baldomir over Perez.

    I love the shout for Mina, a true forgotten warrior. Probably Peru’s finest

    The majority of it is not part of Central and South America ownership wise and geographically wise some are debatable .. I have sailed it twice and the majority ownership of the islands and territories are U.S, U.K, Netherlands, France, and their own independent countries.

    It's just not the case .. You mention Jamaica.. Which is part of The Greater Antilles. That has absolutely nothing to do with Central and South America. No more so than Hawaii has to do with Russia … You mention Venezuela. Even Trinidad and Tobago, which is 7 miles of the coast of Venezuela isn't even considered a South American country. Most of what you are referring to is part of North America.. If you ever travel there , you will find the ancestry and influences in the Caribbean come from Africa, Europe, the U.S ,and the native islanders

    Latin culture encompasses far more than just Central and South America..So now you are saying that since there is African influence throughout the Caribbean, that Central and South America are a part of Africa?? Most people associate who they are from what country they were born and/or their heritage... So if an African is born in Jamaica ?? How the hell is he Central or South American?? You are changing the subject which is are people from the Caribbean considered Central and South American? And there answer is 95 % NO .. Plain and simple man .. You are Spanish right? Born there? Do you go around and tell people you are from Iran? Did McCallum go around and tell people he is from Central and South America?

    Exactly - the guy is a waste of good quality air.

    I gave up trying to reason with him when he wouldn't accept that Salvador Sanchez was featherweight champ between 1980-1982 because of some spurious argument just because he'd got his dates wrong. It's embarassing really. At least it should be for him but he seems to feel nothing about being perpetually wrong.

    I just chip in for a laugh now.

    Mathematic lesions - they sound painful. A bit like reading your sentences.

    Anyway, let's not bother doing this again...
