There isn't too much of a different....the "schooling" in the guys is basically the same. If you look at all the top Mexican trainers in the United States they are all Mexicans from Mexico (Abel Sanchez & Joel Diaz) that relocated to the US.......or born from parents straight from Mexico (Roberto Garcia). Also if you look at Mexico's top talent over the decades you will see that all of them aren't just striaght up brawlers.
Even guys like Morales, Barrera, and Marquez.....while they love to turn it into a dog fight, they were all above average "boxers" too.
The main difference between Mexicans and Mexican-Americans IMO is Mexicans from Mexico have more heart and "dog" in them. The Mexican-Americans are softer and more pampered by America's amateur system and the Mex-American fans tendency to baby them with their prison politics type of mentality. In Mexico, you have to earn the respect of the people......in the States the fans will go as far es even make excuses why you don't have to fight certain fights.
And if people don't like or believe what im saying all you have to do is look at who produces more top level talent. in the past 35 years Mexico has produced guys like JCC, Erick Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Finito Lopez, and more recently Canelo Alvarez and Gallo Estrada. Meanwhile, Mexican-Americans have only been able to produce one ELITE level guy in Oscar de la Hoya.
I think Vargas was there, but mismanaged. Virgil Ortiz is there too. Just need to see how his career unfolds.
