The "Puerto Rico vs. Mexico boxing rivalry" - who's winning?

Puerto Rico and Mexico probably have the best major rivalry in boxing. By comparison, Puerto Rico is a much smaller country then Mexico, but for it’s size it’s produced a ton of great fighters. All things considered, which country do you believe is getting the best of this rivalry and why?

P.S. Let’s keep things civil, and just present the facts. :-X

Mexico for sure. Especially lately that we’ve hit a “bad run”.
(I thought I’d be the first to say it, before the Mexican connection comes running in here).

;D

Of course, outnumbering us 110 million to 5 million, it’s not totally unexpected.
We’ve held our own… and have had some great victories.
Wikipedia has a 35-23 margin for Mexico, if you want pure numbers.

On the other hand, Margarito’s wins should be substracted from the total, as they were more than likely due to his plaster casts.
'Nough said.

Let the piranha feeding frenzy begin.

:wink:

:smiley: I thought we settled this a while back… Lol Mexico vs Puerto Rico “Civil” debate? LOL. That’s a good one.

I’m on my best behavior.

:smilie_pinoc:

Most of the bigger fights have been won by Mexican fighters. Not only that Mexican fighters aren’t assisted by another country like Puerto Rican fighters are, Mexico supplies it’s own. Puerto Rico can’t do that. PR fighters are able to train and prepare themselves for fights cuz of the US. And only cuz of the US. If it wasn’t for the US, Puerto Rican fighters would come to the ring with one glove, no shoes and a bath towel as a robe. Really every win by a PR fighter should come with an * next to it

That’s IT. You’re off my list for a position with the Puerto Rican tourism commission!!!

It’s the third hut to the left once you leave the beach and enter the jungle area.

You probably wouldn’t recognize it.
It’s got no grafitti-scrawled walls or gutted, rat-infested buildings.

I have to admit… mud is much harder to use than blood squeezed from needle-riddled veins… so you DO have an advantage there.

don’t be hating cause we don’t need to walk around with one of these

apart from Kermit Cintron what PR fighter have you seen was raised in the US? as for Mexico…Ortiz, Lopez, De La Hoya, Leija, aaaaaand the list continues, sooooo who really mooches off the US?! lol you’re so fuckin pathetic dude lol

Uh… I think he left already.
You know… curfew time in the ghetto and all that.

;D

Of course the US won’t require you to carry that Id. 98 percent of ricans can’t afford a ticket out the island with the 5 cents a day wage. The other 2 percent aren’t aware other countries exist.

lol yea cause we do require a ticket to get to the US, not like we can just swim across a river and jump a fence :-X, but it also has to do with the fact that we don’t have to leave the island make a living, don’t try and take it there buddy cause that’s a losing battle for you lol

Why is it you only come out from behind VD’s skirt when he’s around?
Just saying…

not shocking at all, outspoken has the perfect name on here, cause he’s always outspoken about his envy, and well bitching and moaning about how his favorite fighter doesn’t amount to shit, although he still chooses to fight nobodies, shot fighters, or smaller guys :-X

C’mon, El Terrible… be a bit more understanding. What do Outspoken and VD have to root for nowadays? A pink-panties-wearing overhyped, weed-smoking, coddled, cheating asshole, who had his ass handed to him by a one-handed, smaller man. And a cheating, one-eyed, Mongoloid-looking scumbag who is probably working at Burger King now after getting his eye socket shattered and retiring in shame.

Why can’t you be more understanding??

It’s simple that’s when you and your butt buddy start with the anti Mexican bullshit. Which is cool I can take it as much as I can give it (no homo… Or should I say no rican) so of course I’m going to join in. If anyone has a suspect alliance is you two lol… But nice try
