I cant remember any,Always great fighters but never Whitaker type of ****,Mexican school of boxing is not diverse ?
Check out flyweight champ Miguel canto
Early jmm fights
Salvador Sanchez
Comparing America to Latin America is far more comparable. As for Latinos on a whole they have tons of slicksters Happy Lora, Wilfredo Gomez, Locche, Zapata, Laguna, Marcel, Miguel Canto, Pascual Perez, Gregorio Peralta list goes on and on.
Floyd can only dream of having defensive skills like Happy did. The Latin Pernell
I think op means guys with hands down, quick reflex styles.
There has never been a Mexican fighter like that.
In the US, that style was popularised by Ali and be under no illusion, every black fighter in the US since has wanted to be the next Ali.
I know there was many great Orthodox mexican Boxers(Cotto is from PR) i was asking about talents like RJJ and Parnell unOrthodox fighters with great upperbody movement,and footwork ,shoulder roll like FMJ or Toney,they all was great but its not what i mean.how JMM or morales are slick?
Miguel Canto is the best example. One of the best defensive boxers of all time.
Judging by the skinny fit frames, the only PEDS mexicans used was nose candy. We can only imagine how much greater the legends we do have would have been if they decided to cheat when it actually mattered and not and the finish line of some of there careers.
edit: I personally hate de la hoya , but yall musta forget. He was talented.whitaker,toney,mayweather,jones are all DOCUMENTED ped cheats.
Damn ... I didn't know Mayweather was a DOCUMENTED PED cheat ???

Whitaker, Jones,Mayweather and Toney who you say all have great upper body movement and footwork all just happen to be black American boxers. It sort of sounds like you are saying no Mexican boxer can be as good a boxer or as slick as your favorite black American boxers. I think some of the Mexican boxers he spoke of such as Lopez and Sanchez were as good of boxers and as slick as they come. They just weren't a carbon copy of one of your favorite black Americans.
Yea we figured out that i meant athleticism ,and Mexicans dont fight on pure athleticism ,but i agree they are just as good or even better in some cases.

the closest mexicans had to an athletic boxer was victor ortiz
People will shyt on that today but, looking back, he certainly did have an athleticism about him.
Yea, I think athleticism would be a great question as I don't see a lot of Mexicans fighting on raw athletic ability, they are more about fundamentals and heart.
i guess USA school of boxing have more relaxed Boxers ,with more freedom,its not secret that black ppl like to baunce xD
i was thinking about Nas natural talent,but overall i agrre his no match,yea not classic way of slickness maybe you can call it athleticism,just couldnt find a word to discribe Roys movement.

My English isn't good either, but i think athleticism, like you said earlier, fits well for the type of fighting you are mentioning.
Yea i guess i will call it like that now .
Haha i mean his Talent was displead in offens mostly ,he was moveing much and countering ,his not a type of guy to just hold on while you put combo on him.
