You know, guys like Rubin Olivaras, Salvatore Sanchez (god rest his soul) Julio Cesar Chavez, Finito Lopez, Jose Napolice and even the more modern greats like Barrera, Marquez, Morales and such? Do these guys shake their heads in disgust when they see fighters like Jose Ramirez, Isaac Cruz and William Zepeda blatantly ducking fights left and right?
Yeah they probably nod their heads in shame when they look at this new crop of mexican ¨businessmen¨
good thing the face of mexican boxing is Canelo, who's a throwback proud warrior always looking for new challenges and accolades for his legacy
Canelo is a superstar and could have followed the same blueprint of all these ¨fight-a-bum-once-a-year-and-demand-millions¨ pussies we have for top boxers now (and I'm not talking about just mexicans)
we are lucky still have warriors like the the ginger, Lomachenko and Usyk, otherwise boxing would be truly doomed
I think many old school fighters and spectators in general are ashamed when it comes to plenty of the current fighters from any country.
The current blueprint for fighters is:
-Fight once or twice a year.
-take advantage of modern nutrition to compete multiple weight classes below their natural size.
-attain the titles by any conventional means such as fighting quite beatable opponents or faded iconic names.
-Retain the 0 at all costs.
Now all of a sudden. Nobody has an opinion...lmaoo
All these dudes came on here and deflected from the question. The answer is yes.
Mexicans do not like the ducking that the new Mexican generation is doing. Chavez Sr, Marquez, are on record criticizing fellow Mexicans for the ducking
Well if I had their personal emails I'd ask them myself but since I don't I'm asking the boxing community here on this message board's opinion on the matter.
So whatdya think???
As some random Chicano from Southern California I don't think I'm qualified to speak for a Mexican ATG. But if I had to give a guess, I'm sure just like any ATG of any Sport or culture they would think the current generation is watered down and can't hold a match to their generation and so on etc... I'm also guessing many are disgusted with the match making currently. As far as straight out ducking, again I'm only guessing but I'm sure most would be disgusted with the business/politics of boxing.
Things have changed so much since Barrera and Morales. Imagine if Barrera was on DAZN, Pacquiao was on TR, and then Morales was signed with Showtime but had Al Haymon as an Adviser? Lol! We would've NEVER seen those fights!
Anyways, as a fan I am disappointed that GBP didnt pursue Shakur for Zepeda. Seems like GBP didn't have confidence in him. Imo Zepeda and Tank are the only 2 at LW that have a chance to beat Shakur. I don't blame the fighter or team on this 1.
As for Ramirez hes American and turning down a title opportunity looks more like the fighter and team don't have confidence in themselves. Duck.
As for Cruz, I'm sure if his Jefito didn't advise him not to fight Shakur his tio Al would've advised him the same thing. There's so much more money to be made, so build that clout Pitbull!! So this duck I blame on the business of boxing.
Lastly, I will end with a quote that may sum up this current boxing generations mindset.
“I don’t fight for legacy. I don’t fight for none of that, I fight for the cheque. I’m in the cheque cashing business.” Floyd Mayweather
I think a lot of fighters these days, not just mexican, are ducking fights and showin their b!tchbackside. But since you specifically pointed those 3, fcuk yeah the OGs and Triple OGs are ashamed
I think Great Mexican Fighters care more about their home country turning into an even worse third world country.....
In regards to mordern men......yeah, all men are ashamed.

- - Are pretty little boys gonna speak for Great Mexican fighters now?
What U nursery school name?
How can we answer for them?
