    Mexicans don't consider fighters like Ortiz and Diaz true Mexicans. They're considered American.

    As far as Puerto Rico I don't think we can claim them. If they voted to become an actual state then we probably could but that bill has failed before. They prefer to be seperate.

    I've seen quite a few people trying to claim Ortiz.

    As per Diaz, JMM said he was only 50%. JMM is HBO's unofficial Mexican gauge so I'll follow what he says.

    That is why I answered that the question is complicated. I remember in 1987 walking into sandwich shop PR and the bill board stated not to talk about politics. Meaning the separation. It has been going on for many years, but PR is still part of the US/teritory.

    If they get invaded....you bet your ass they're gonna be calling "Daddy" to come help them. We own them, they belong to us and we choose if we claim them or not, not the other way around :hey

    You might start something. PR's have help win wars side by side with Americans. You know, I stop there. Don't they have their own Olympic boxing team? Again, it is complicated.

    Since Mayweather is still retired I would not rank him above Ali as the current p4p fighter.

    I feel if a fighter has citizenship in the country then that country has a right to brag about having them. Otherwise Canada would have no one to brag about except for Steve Molitor.

    Depends on whether he considered himself Australian or Russian. The fact that he was called the 'thunder from down under' suggests that he may well say 'Aussie'...
