Question to PR and Mexican Fans

[HaglerSteelChin]

I wonder if any Boricuas or Mexicans are willing to admit they like opposing country fighters? I am half Cuban-PR and i know Mexicans liked Cuban fighter Jose Napoles since he fought in Mexico alot. Some Mexicans also liked Trinidad, even though they won't admit it publically.

Some of my favorite Mexican fighters include Ruben Olivares, S. Sanchez, Morales, and presently Abner Mares and Brandon Rios(Mexican American).

There's nothing wrong with being nationalistic. Its the reason the Olympics or the World Cup exists. There IS something wrong with discrediting fighters just because they aren't from your country.

Well, Erik Morales was always my favorite fighter of a different nationality. I loved Joel Casamayor unconditionally. My grandfather use to tell me stories of Kid Chocolate, so even though I've only recently watched clips of his fight, I loved that dude from the gate. Jose Napoles is legit, and I've been riding with Gamboa hard.

Salvador Sanchez is a fighter I can watch all day as well. TBH, I was never a fan of JCC Sr though. He was a tough SOB, I guess it was his style. And who can forget love most of us have for Manos de Piedras?

Also, I was feeling Margarito pre-Cotto and post-Cotto, up until Mosley.

Mosley is one of my favorites as was Sugar Ray Leonard and Iron Mike. As for Mexican fighters, I just can't get into the club fighter mentality.

[Vasyl’s dad]

I like Rican fighters. Its some of their fans who are ******ed though.

[Toney Loc]

Tito Trinidad is my #3 all time favorite fighter. I also like Calderon, JuanMa, Collazo (NY), Gomez.

I'm a big Cotto fan

I'm a Huge fan of all races of boxers, especially Mexicans and African Americans - JMM, Morales, Barrera, Pacman, IronMike, ODLH - Me being a Puerto Rican has no effect on my opinion on boxers of other races; I try to be as objective as possible.

On second thought... Beard Victor seems less likely to quit as opposed to Golden Boy Victor. So, I'd say Ortiz is ok in my book and Morales because he seemed to have a brain.

This is a purely interwebz phenomena. Mexicans like fighters. In a public forum most will default nationalistic, but in our homes we like who we like just like anybody else.
