End of thread, sorry but this a terrible bait thread. Monumental fail...

Puerto Rico for being an Island of about 4 million people has had many ATG's. It's a great tradition and country for boxing.

I think the reason so many Mexicans don't care for Puerto Rican fighters is because Puerto Ricans tend to be big talkers, and in Mexico we are tught (even though some don't act this way here) to be humble and let your fists do the talking.

Also because Puerto Rican fighters have a style that is more of a moving style, a slicker boxing style. We like blood and guts, that's the way we were raised and the way we are trained. to come forward and take one to give one.

Just two different cultures and styles but you can't deny that PR has had some of the greatest boxers of all time.

yeah they all talk **** except cotto

thats why cotto is the man lol

i actually wasnt baiting on this thread, lol, sorry that you feel like that, lol, if i wanted to actually bait you and troll you you would knowbecause i would actually tell the people i am trolling, i would actually use a bunch of (lol, nyahahahaha) instead of hearing youpreach to me, i decided to put you on my ignore list, this- i have never done until you

you gotta read my thread through and through before you act like im descrediting puerto rican boxing, im just posting up a thread that may to see the thoughts of the latino longe on this,

that said, lol, ivan calderon, wilfredo vasquez jr, orlando cruz, fres oquendo, jonathan oquendo, thomas dulorme, juan manuel lopez, erik morel, john ruiz, rocky martinez, danny garcia, and many other fighters like

the ones jtcs mentioned

Ortiz, Benitez, Gomez, Rosario, LaPorte, Camacho, Escobar, Chegui Torres, Serrano, De Jesus, Calderon....

,

like i also stated, puerto rico is also ..............what people assume is dead, but they are not, they are just in a phase where their talents have not gotten it done lately, they eventually will but i wonder which puerto rican will get the ball rolling


puerto rico boxing today fell off behind england, ukraine and argentina , traditionally puerto rico was up their with mexico and the United States but i wonder how long can puerto rico can be this boxing state of depression(i guess) that it is today

i like verdejo

well see how he comes out

if he wasnt puerto rican, cotto will be that much great.

tito a cheater who has been wrapping his gloves illegally for years, fight after fight.

lol - i'm learning to not take much you say seriously.

buuuuuuut - if you think about it ... if we didn't have trinidad beasting for all those years and it was just a gap between camacho's hay-day at 135 until cotto started his path of destruction at 140 .. we'd be the phillipines.

[baya]

we're firmly in 3rd place as I see it - can't see how cuba the phillipines or the UK could be better than us for the 3rd spot .... with mexico taking 1st place and the US 2nd.

[NearHypnos]

Trinidad isnt even the best fighter PR has produced they'd do fine without Tito...
