This is what i wrote in another thread but it might be useful here, here it is... I am mexican an i live here in Mexico, let me tell you how i see the story here... Casual fans have respect for both they like MAB but they like more EM(because of style, etc), people who dont follow boxing might not even know they hate each other so they like both, boxing fans like both but they prefer EM because of style also, some prefer MAB because he is from Mexico City but they dont hate EM, they also love to watch him fight and cheer for him... And now, HARDCORE FANS, prefer EM some of them even hate Barrera because of dirty tactics etc but this is the real reason a mexican hardcore fan prefer Eric... Believe me or not it is because of JCC-ODLH, a briefly introduce, Mexico is kind of divided in 2 very different kind of people, the north(starting from Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Durango, all the way to Tijuana) and the south (considered from Nayarit and below), people from the north dont like south people, they considered them stupid, midgits, stealers, and they considered most of them not friendly who always try to take advantage of people(wich is true, i have lived in both parts), people from the south is not that they dont like north people but they considered them agressive(because of the accent it looks like they are mad), mafia wiseguys, killers, drugdealers, etc so they are kind of afraid to them), so having this said JCC is from the north and he is the LEGEND so everybody loves him, well the problem starts here, JCC is close friend from EM as well as Jorge Arce and other fighters, when JCC lost to ODLH all Mexico turned to hate ODLH, plain and simple and then MAB started making business with the Golden Boy then most of the Hardcore fans turned in favor of JCC as well as EM, Arce, Margarito, etc, Montiel family went with MAB side so thats the reason Arce and Montiel dont like each other(both from Los Mochis), in each opportunity both have they talk **** about each other, Arce also talks **** about ODLH, so based on personalities JCC, Arce and EM are more friendly to people than MAB so thats why the hate for MAB adding he is from Mexico city, and people hating on MAB is like hating on ODLH and the same time supporting the EM and the north group...Just to add, north people dont hate south fighters, just MAB because of what i just explained, they have lots of respect for Finito, JMM, etc...

you leave out oscar but have a punch drunk fighter in your avator who ducked lewis and got beat into retirement by golota?? feckin twelve yr old ******s
I'm not from Tijuana but I can easily guess that it's nearly impossible to choose one, all these mentioned have endless moments where they showed real guts only the immortal is capable of.
indeed,you are trying to disguise your mistake,because the tread says what fighter is mexico most proud of,not what fighter is mexico most proud of out of this fighters,anyways,the is a saying that goes "to err is human to forgive is divine"..so i forgive you my child for leaving jcc out!
