LMAO...nice

[Tha Greatest]

DeLaHoya is a chicano...

I can't think of one Mexican fighter that runs....Mexican as in FROM Mexico..

[BLOODSHED]

I got respect for all fighters. Castillo is probably my favorite Mexican fighter now... Not to technically sound but he's tough as nails.

[BLOODSHED]

Team Truth is the **** even though I hate Roy.

Team Truth is just a list of my favorite fighters that I have watched fight. They are the fighters that I support, I will admit I should pay attention to other fighters that arn't on that list more. Sometimes I get stuck on just watching my favorites...

I don't think that everyone hates Mexican fighters, I think that it is a little ill-content, mixed with respect. Their lineage is strong, and that doesn't sit well with some of the gringos and jacks, so they find a way to bash them as often as possible, but they love to watch them fight.

I don't think Mexican fighters have any more illcontent towards them than any other race. I think it might seem like Mexicans take more flack at times because there is a large handful of famous ones currently boxing, so when discussing the lower weight classes you're bound to mention a number of them.... so it could simply be the current ratio and odds balancing out.

I'd also say that the Mexicans call it upon themselves. Maybe not personally, but definately their fans do. THey call it out from the hills to support simply the ethnicity of the figher, regardless of skill. This can rub some fans the wrong way since nationalism can get people in trouble at times it seems.

Personally, I enjoy watching a fighter so long as he's good. No other qualifications are needed for me to be ammused or entertained. Although I wouldn't lie, I wouldn't mind seeing a white american do well, since it has been a while.

Just out of curiosity, why is everyone on your Team Truth, African American? I think in a sense a lot of boxing fans do tend to go for a fighter from thier country or ethnicity.

[pinkpanther]

I'm British and out of my top 5 fighters - 2 are Mexican....noit sure this is the case, mexicans are some of the most respected fighters out there!?

[myke_test1]

well yes my team is all Afrikan

Because thats who i relate to Toney is the reason i started boxing when i'm in them he is the reason i train hard cause he is a small guy who doesn't back down from anyone and i relate to that everyday i'm watching my Toney fight collection i can tell you his every move and at times when i'm sparring i try to mimic him (my trainer yells at me at times cause of it).....Byrd is always fighting Giants and in my gym there is nobody my height around my weight everybody is 6'3-6'5 and when i do get to spar those are the guys i spar with so thats how i relate to Byrd knowing that i'ma have to outlast these guys and put punches together.....and my Prospect Ehinomen aka Hino well he is a cruiserweight and i like the way he talks and fights and he is just starting out and not to many people know about him....i was mad when i saw him in the ****zine as a prospect cause that meant he would have more fans

but yeah i'm sure alot of people/fans are fans of fighters of there own race mostly cause they can relate to them

i'm not saying i like only Afrikan fighters i like Ebo Elder(i'm still mad at courtney burton for gettin knocked out....i think ebo would of killed Diaz) i like Kermit Cintron and i like Fernando Vargas.......but i don't know to much about these guys are there backgrounds to say i'm a fan and i don't wanna be a bandwagon jumper when i find out more about these guys to call myself a fan then i will but until then i will stick to the guys i know about and who i read articles own
