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

[Mars_ax]

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.

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).



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.

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.

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

See what you started, bro?


I would bill you for the cans of bug spray I've had to use on VD and his little chihuahua..... but admittedly I've had a little fun poking fun at these two. It's almost too easy.

VD has more fleas then his chihuahua, who also has fresher breath. BTW, chihuahua/stray perro is a staple in the mexican diet, it's the meat they use when they make, tamales, burritos, and soft tacos.

I figure now it's about time Fenster started another thread about Prince Hamed, it's been at least 6 months or more.

I'm glad you enjoy them @Mars_ax.

Currently though I can only think of one regular guy that would bite. And I feel sorry for him, at the moment, because he's so paranoid about people out to get him.

The Naz threads will return though. Fact.

Shit, no wonder they're always pissed off and bug-eyed and all that.
It must be in their DNA to think they're being sized up for the next meal.

I like Chihuahuas, they can make loyal little friends. Some of my neighbors have them, one in particular used to come over for a snack and to watch TV with me.

I have no dog in the Puerto Rico vs. Mexico rivalry, although I would assume Mexico is winning at this point in time.

On another note, Argentina is taking Mexico to school this year: Matthysse over Soto, Maidana over Soto Karass and Martinez over Junior. Three nationally-televised fights; three wins for Argentina.
