    Without Mexicans boxing would have 2 blacks and 1 white guy sitting at ring side watching fighters like Mayweather run around the ring for 12 full rounds.. in other words, DEAD.

      I think it's the mexican style nad they fight alot more often ! I mean look how many fights Chavez hed when he retired ! Barrera has what close to or over 70 fights and how lold is he ? Yori Boy how many fights has he had ? I won't put Oscar on here ! He is American mexican ! Therefore he didn't fight as much ! But most mexican I have seen from mexico usually has alot more fights ! And also age ! Aren't they allowed to turn professional at a younger age than US ! That's my guess on the reasons !

        i can never disagree with this one particular floyd fan, he made my argument for me, you keeping my voice unheard when you post, you are like my unofficial spokesperson

Fighters like Calzaghe, Jones, Hopkins, Moslet, etc continue to fight & have beat great fighters late into their 30s.

          When Mosley lost a close decision to Cotto last year I didn't hear any Black people making excuses for him because he was too old even though he was a decade older than Cotto. So I am just wondering do the Mexicans feel they age quicker than other races?
          haterfree has no haters but haterfree does hate on mexican fighters for being ring warriors willing to fight and not running, haterfree is truly a floyd fan, no doubt

            the Mexican style of boxing focuses primarily on assault and throwing combinations as much as you can and as hard as you can. Defense is usually just textbook/average.

            black fighters like to box more stylistic, often don't throw as many punches..focus on accuracy, speed and defense, over power and volume.

            so when a Mexican is past it, it's usually because they have been in "wars" or they aren't young enough to take flush punches to the face whilst throwing a barage of their own.

              pride is in the blood of the mexican fighter.meaning most of them, for the most part don't give a ****.its mexican machismo.so they're more susceptible to get into brawls many times in their careers.

                A lot of them start in their teens. Morales was shot at 30 for example. But he had also been a pro for 13-14 years.

                  its sad that it even has to be explained. Racist idiots like Haterfree love to pretend that they actually follow the sport and know a thing or too, but always expose their ignorance when making threads like this and THIS gem right here..

                    If you think all Floyd did was run then you must be a fan of toughman competitions. This is BOXING. Floyd is probably the most talented boxer of the last 20 years and you'd think his fights were awesome if you really understood the sweet science.
