    Let’s look at Americans and Mexicans.
    Mexican culture prides itself on honour, respect, courage and never taking a back foot step ever. Hence, why Mexicans boxers like to brawl and never take a back foot step and try their best never to quit. However, there are always outliers like JMM who rather box than brawl. If you get a average Mexican kid in the ring, and told him to box. He would steam in and try to brawl.

    America is more of a self-centric society, every man for himself, especially within the AA community. Americans like to win in style and leave no stone unturned in shaming their opponent. In the American style they would rather clown and outbox and school a boxer for 12 rounds than brawl and win a quick KO. Get an average American kid in the ring and tell him to box. He would automatically be on the back foot trying to outbox his opponent


    I cannot come up with an Idea why Europeans seem so one dimensional and robotic at times
    ever watch montiel? kirkland?

          Social mobility is actually decreasing in America. Do you honestly think it's easier for poor people to achieve highly in america then it is in other rich countries?
