    Why Arn't There Really Any Mexican Fighters Above 147 Pounds?

    A sprinkle here or there, but it seems there usually concentrated at the lower weights, can anyone help me with this one?

      What I funny is when people say Hispanics dominate below 147. How is that so.

      Greatest JR WW of all time- Pryor
      Greatest LW of all time - Pernell
      Greatest SFW of all time - Mayweather

      Hispanics do dominate below 130

        Above 147, skills matter. You can get KO'd easier. That is why Mexicans don't do well above 147. Margarito is never going to fight at 154 again. Mexicans need size advantage

          No offense to Mexicans, and i'm just saying this as a thought, but maybe it is because most Mexican boxers are short in height.

          Please don't take that as an offense.

          But then again, Mexico has their fair share of tall athletes too especially Soccer players.

          One thing you have to love about boxing is that you don't have to be tall to be a champion. Look at Paul Williams being 6' 2" and that's something to complain about? Lol Julio Cesar Chavez was like 5' 6" if i'm not mistaken and he was a great champion, ATG to be exact.

            the same reason that most asian fighters are only in the lowest weight classes.

              You may be on to something, first face brawling would get you killed at those weights.

                They are short in height, just like ricans. But Vargas can always make a comeback to cruiserweight :P

                    Arreola is way above 140.
                    I would say he can fit two 140s in himself.
