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

[LilGizmo562]

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

I was gonna say 3, but 2 may be the limit. lol

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.

i second what u saying here in New York i trip over them every day for them being so short!!!!lol

[Bhopreign]

Angulo, Andrade, Rubio, Chavez Jr. we got fighters over 147 O.O

I said a sprinkle here or there.

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

thats pretty debatable. you could say Julio Cesar Chavez at 140, Duran at 135, and Arguello at 130. you could even throw in names like Antonio Cervantes and Carlos Ortiz too, which would be legitimate arguments.
but yea, its not a 'dominate' sort of thing.


oh, and no offense meant to Mexico, but overall they probably dont grow up as healthy as Americans. as in their getting enough nutrients and everything. and less healthy upbringing=smaller person, it least from the medical studies Ive read about.

That's not racist and it's partially the truth. Futbol is waaaaay more popular than Boxing in Mexico.

Also, Mexico is a third world country. Alot of people live in poverty and are malnourished.

thats because only 'hispanics' fight 135 and below

[MANGLER]

I dunno off the top of my head, but I don't think there's ever been a lotta Mexican fighters above the lighter divisions.

why andre ward likes to hug

[KRITKL]

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

somebody better tell Andrade that
