    Let's list all the Race/Boxing Styles?

    (so as not to be racist!) Also describe/ give characteristics of the alleged Styles.

    The Black American Style: Slick, Athletic, Strong Counter Punching, American, Ring Generalship, Brash, fleet footed.

    Examples include: Floyd Mayweather Jr., Andre Berto, Andre Dirrell.

    The Face First Mexican: Stalking, Strong chinned, Excellent Stamina, Volume Punching, Does not Quit.

    Examples include: Antonio Margarito, Eric Morales, Daniel Ponce DeLeon.

    Please add more, so everyone can be on even ground when discussing the different boxing styles. If fans are generalizing black americans, it's only fair to generalize everyone else! Please discuss

    The Rugged Argentine: Always putting out blue collar performances, quiet/minimal trash talking, strong chins, good power, in many instances slightly faster hands than their Mexican counterparts but compensated by a slightly decreased workrate.

    Examples include: Lucas Matthyse, Marcos Maidana

    The Agile Asian Sniper: Precision power punching, Fleet footed, allows these assasins to get in strike/flurry and get out before trading, squinting eyes for sniping, quiet demeanor

    Examples include: Manny Pacquiao, Nonito Donaire

    The Eastern European Robot: Rigid Upright posture, Strong High Guard, Heavy Jab, Reluctance to open up, Zero Trash talking

    Examples include: Wladimir Klitschko, Ivan Drago, Andriy Kotelnik

    Face First United Kingdom Version: Strong punches, Strong body, Strong chin, Strong face.

    Bulk body to absorb hits. Having strong punches is a must. Uses the face as a shield instead of covering the face. Not for the glass chin.

    Examples include: Ricky Hatton

      John Duddy would be the Irish version of this, but without the punch..

              On that note, when's the last time Mayweather fought an Eastern European Robot.. Is he ducking them? Could that style be a black american's Kryptonite?

                Are there any Mexican fighters that have questionable chins? Marquez bros have average chins but what they lack in that department they make up with heart.

                  I hate the fact that Mexicans only are seen as brawlers, this couldn't be the farthest thing from the truth.

                  What about boxers like Finito Lopez, Barrera, Chavez (yes Chavez he was a tough fighter but he was an excellent boxer) Oscar, JMM, Rafa Marquez, Fernando Montiel......I mean I can go on and on.

                  I think Mexican fighters get the rep because they enjoy to brawl but as we seen with Erik Morales vs Pacquaio, he OUTBOXED Pacquaio in his victory against him and then turned south paw and brawled with him at the end of the fight...lol

                    This is very true what Cua is saying, the list does literally go on and on but this is the problem with generalizations they do not work.

                    I can think of one Black American fighter that could be the brawler type, George Foreman. Or am I incorrect.

                    Human beings are just so random and are also a product of their environment.
