What was the ALL-TIME BEST-#1-CLASSIC FIGHT in the MEXICO vs PUERTO RICO Rivalry?

I wasnt following the sport closely then since i was too young but what was Chavez-Rosario like? I think i heard Chavez was the underdog. Is that true?

Also i know Chavez must have been the favorite against Camacho but Camacho was a showman so i would think that fight was pretty hyped up.

 

Why do mexicans and puerto ricans hate eachother that much anyway?
I think trinidad-de la hoya might be a good answer.

 

atschIts threads like these that make me laugh and feel sorry for the poster , GET A LIFE :good, A boxing fan is a boxing fan no matter if you watch it and follow it more than the next guy ! You dont get any medals for being HARDCORE ! And why post questions to prove a point cause my wife who knows nothing about Boxing could give u answers thats what things like GOOGLE are for !

 

Margarito-Cotto
Chavez-Camacho/DLH-Tito (tied)
Sanchez-Gomez
Not too sure about this one..have to really think about it
DLH-Tito
DLH-Tito
Rd 12 Wilfredo Gomez-Lupe Pintor
Julio Cesar Chavez vs Wilfredo Gomez

Overall, Sanchez-Gomez is the most "important" fight in the rivalry IMO, since it pitted Mexico and Puerto Rico at its most elite level against each other.

 

Damn forgot about that one. Both ATGs going at it. That was way before my time though. Im only 24.

 

Don't forget Segura vs Calderon either. Helluva fight...

 

Nah, we dont hate each other at all....It's just such a fierce rivaly between 2 very proud countries, who happen to produce great boxers. It's bound to get a little out of hand at times

 

the island of puerto rico itself is very supportive of mexican boxers, and mexico in general.

best fight within rivalry that never happened a prime 130 lbs Camacho vs 130 Chavez

 

I think a fight between the 2 at 135 woulda been better.

'85 Camacho who dominated Ramirez vs '87 Chavez who destroyed Rosario.

 

any combo of these two in their primes would be fine however I personaly think they purposefully kept Chavez away from Macho at 130 and waited until the Coke and lifestyle did its thing.

 

I highly doubt that to be honest...Around the time Chavez became champ at 130, Camacho moved up to 135....and after the Rosario scare he moved up to 140....Chavez was still fighting at 130 at the time.

Anyway, at 130 it would of been highly competitive, but id probably give Chavez the close edge. At 135, Chavez beats up Camacho pretty bad IMO.

 

How is that fight the most dissappointing? :huh

It was action packed and the draw was the right result. It was an easy fight to score.
