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.
Do Mexican fighters age quicker than other fighters?

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 !Comment

ethnicity doesnt matter it doesnt age you.. its more so to do with your fighting style.. the agressive, bully style fighters age quickly.. guys like margarito, hatton, juan diaz, etc.. if you have sorry defense and get hit alot you accumulate damage over the years and its wear on you quicker as opposed to a boxer with great defense and that does not get hit alotComment

After Floyd beat Oscar a lot of the Mexicans claimed that it was because Oscar was old. Even though Oscar was only 34 & just 4 years older than Floyd. After Oscar beat Chavez in their fights. A lot of the Mexicans claimed it was only because Chavez was old. Chavez was 38. 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?Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.
