    Yeah 15 years ago most of the Mexican fighter who are successful now are all very well rounded fighters. The whole face first brawler thing has come and gone in Mexico.

      I don't know. A lot of my black friends are on Money's nuts now, and some of them have only seen 1 or 2 of his fights. Whether people like it or not, his 24/7 antics do attract viewers.

                  B-Hop gets more respect so it has nothing with race! It's about career choices.

                    Floyd wouldn't be Floyd if he was Mexican.

                    Being an African American has had a huge influence on him.
