    Come on, are they not making a smart move for their careers doing this??
    Im pretty sure that abraham refers to himself as armenian, do you think he should just forget about where he was born and raised in order to make himself a success in his "adopted country"? Being as german as possible is great for him now but if for example he decided to move to china after his boxing and made a great new successful career is he now chinese?? I dont think so


    Yes he is an austrian doing very well for himself in america

    Technically speaking, Puerto Rico is not a country and is part of America.

    From this list, I'd probably go with Mexico followed by Germany. The United Kingdom is not that bad either.

    technically speaking we're a country that was invaded by the US so yes we're a country even though under the rule of the oppressors

    This guy is completely right. We can list a great number of fighters from any given country easily. That is why I am trying to focus on TOP fighters. Not prospects, not guys who are on the downside of their career, and not solid journeymen....just the top fighters in the world.

    Ok you only knew about Mares and Andrade,Ornelas cause i told you, unlike you who tried to pass Ruiz,Collazo etc on us by the way Cintron learned to box in the US although born in PR, so you keep him and ill keep those 3.
    Abner Mares- Is world class and you know it.
    David Lopez- How can he not be World class he has been ranked by the RIng for the last few years and is currently Number 5 if that is not World Class what is? He is a top contender how can you be any closer to World class than that(unless you are a champion) believe this David Lopez would beat up Daniel Santos and i might even favor him over Cintron.
    Johnny Gonzalez- iS world Class he gave PFP guy Vasquez hell,beat Fernando Montiel and is a dangerous fight for any bantam or Jf.
    Liberado Andrade- Born in Mexico
    Enrique Ornelas- Was very competetive with Hopkins,his only recent losses are to world class foes. Based on his fight with ATG and pfp guy Hopkins he proved he is World class.
    Miguel Vasquez- Decisioned a still unbeaten and World ranked Bredis PRescott and is currently ranked no.5 by Ring Magazine in a talented lightweight Division.
    Martin Honorio- Just beat unbeaten Prospect John Molina, has beaten Luevano,Mtagwa(to recent Lopez challengers) is also ranked 7th by Ring Magazine.
    Alfonso GOmez-I believe is a lower tier top 10 contender which is considered World class.
    Saul Alvarez- Hot up and comer is 30-0-0-22 kos, and a lot more fights that the Prospects you mentioned fro Puerto Rico, Have you seen Alvarez fight? Watch him and tell me he isnt world class.
    Julio Miranda- kod former champ Eric Ortiz in 1 round, and is currently ranked no.10 by Ring Magazine 30-5-1-23 kos.

    All these guys are obvious World Class or Ranked by Ring Magazine not some stupid little alphabet organization. To be ranked by Ring Magazine you have to Considered World class. World class is considered anybody ranked or a risky fight for top fighters.
