Why do Mexican fighters become shot fighters earlier than most?

[Steak]

because
1. Mexican fighters tend to get into more wars, resulting in more punishment over time.
2. Morales won his first title at 21 years old I believe. so did Barrera. Im pretty sure that Calzaghe and Mosley won their titles in their midtwenties. and these guys(Morales and MAB) didnt just sit around, they defended their title up to 3 times a year. fighting lots of championship level opponents early in your career can wear you out down the stretch.
3. A lot of Mexicans start boxing professionally when theyre teenagers, because they need to make money and cant screw around with amateur fights. thats basically a head start in the punishment catagory.
4. Cutting weight has a lot to do with a fighters decline.
5. Mexicans spar a lot in training. I believe JCC used to spar 10-12 rounds a day in training when he was still very motivated for boxing. that kind of intense training really beats up fighters.

Pacquiao hasnt been in quite as many wars as MAB or Morales, but sooner or later were going to see him go downhill too.

I think your meaning smaller weight class fighters. (which most mexicans are in)

For one, a boxer's shelf life doesn't last particularly long.

Superstars like Hopkins, Toney, Mosley, Jones, etc.. can stay on top longer because that's all they've ever done, box. They don't have to punch in at a job to make ends meet, they box and get paid great. So that's where the focus stays.

At lighter weights were your not getting big money unless your an absolute star your not getting those kinds of paydays to give up on your day job. People get burnt out and especially fast in the rought sport of boxing.

for 1 alot of mexicans STARVE themselves fighting at weights they shouldn't even be fighting at, then when they fight somebody their size its TRUTH BE TOLD, like morales, castillo, vargas etc. I wouldn't say their shot earlier, its just when they can no longer starve themself and fight at their right weight class their not that good. The best mexican fighter of all time BY FAR is Oscar De La Hoya being that he moved thru weight classes and was effective.

Castillo for instance fought at 135 for years when he's bulit like a natural welterweight

real talk big D, too many mexican fighters doin't fight at the right weight.

hahaha, please dont tell me your trying to say that we shouldnt make any excuses IF manny wins which ISNT gonna happen...a 50 year Oscar would still KO manny ****quiao back to china


after the de leon fight all you dumb ass pinoys were saying that a penalosa was old and a prime would of beat him, shut the *** up.... morales was battle worn, too many toe to toe fights can damage you


why is it always the pinoys asking ****** questions?

Why is it your mom is always taking Pinoy **** in her loose, blown-out ass?
