Where are all the good Mexican boxers? Why has it gone so downhill?

[sicko]

Omar Figueroa and Frankie Gomez on Saturday! I still like Gilberto Ramirez potential.

Smaller Divisions don't get much attention from even Hardcore Boxing Fans. It is surprising that guys at 122 and 126 are being talked about as much as they are now because usually that is not the case but that is actually a great thing!

But everybody kinda go up and down, they have their ERA, fall off a little then another great fighter emerges

Boxing is dead even in Mexico.
when i say dead is comparing it to the 70-80-00 decade.

When you have 2 of the 4 countries that have given most of the famous-entertaining boxers in the world (for the casual and knowledgeable fan)
not producing more fighters , then something is wrong.

Mexico,Puerto rico,U.S.A and England

Compared to soccer, boxing is nothing in Mexico.

What do you know how boxing is here in Mexico?

Of course boxing isn't as big as soccer, nothing is. Hit isn't dead. Estrada's fight vs Segura had 13 million views. Alvarez pulls the same numbers as the national soccer team which are on the 30+ million homes.

Because they (Mexicans) r on steroids!!!! too many getting busted ,and also not making weight. Using plaster of paris!!! Look at this list OF PEDS USAGE- Rios,Salido,Morales,Molina,Chavez jr,Marquez, Mikey Garcia and many more!!! Margarito's plaster!! Not making weight on day of a fight Mikey Garcia vs juanma! Canelo vs Mathew hatton for wbc ww title also did not make weight!! Rios did not make weight in fights a couple of times. Beltran also did not make weight for title fight . this is a turn off for real mex fans. im sorry but guys like Chavez,Ramirez Sanchez,Limon,Zarate,Pintor,Yaqui Lopez,Olivares,Chacon and Cuevas were real fighters never used peds. And always made weight. These guys to me r what made Mex boxing!!! just saying!!!!

Mexican boxing is dying because of the future landscape of the sport. Defense is the new "cool" thing and being nothing but a face first plodding idiot is taking its toll on fighters. No offense but Mexican boxers and defense just don't click.
