Why do Mexicans Thrive in the lower Weight Divisions......

[bcfc]

but hardley any big names in the higher divisions? anything below 140 is virtually run by mexicans even the top contenders are mexicans... i was just curious... anyone?

[-Hyperion-]

because men with big ass(comaprative to men of their height i mean) square body's kill themselves to make low weights and dominate naturally smaller midgets.......(thats also why theyre shot before 30.....)


not really serious.....or am i?

Because most Mexicans are little.

Its just science.

just natural variations in size id say (scroll to Average height around the world)

the US rows at the bottom of the grid are illustrative of ethnic differences in the same society

[!! AI-Holmes!!]

There's lots of tough little men in Mexico, all the big guys carry guns..

Genetics like others stated, on average at least.

The obvious reason is because they are small.

If you pay attention to soccer, you'd also note that most of the players on the Mexican Soccer team are below 5'8. Even their central defenders (usually tall strong players) are under 6 feet. The soccer player Rafael Marquez however is one notable exception, just like the very few in boxing.

Malnourishment?
