Well, the style people usually use as an example of when discussing Mexican boxing is the JCC/Margarito face first, defense later style. But currently, the are more boxer/puncher technicians coming out of Mexico. Librado Andrade is a good example of the typical Mexican style, but then there's Abner Mares who is a great boxer puncher who has been recently more technical.

Escalante, Andrade, Segura, and Margarito come to mind.

Its changing these days imo, take Fernando Montiel, his fav fighters are not Mexican's, they are guys like Ray Leonard.

I really like Alvarez's counter punching variety, my only concerns for him, is that he fights a bit too square which leaves him open when he is backed up.

but there has always been some good mexican boxer/punchers out there as well...guys like ricardo lopez.

Not Mexican but Miguel Cotto

And Saul Alvarez

JCC
Barrera

Short crisp punching, solid jabs and killer body work is the typical Mexican style IMO.
