Rafael Marquez is fighting for the WBC strap also. Tomas Rojas. Look this up. Rediculous.

It's just you. There are 17 weight divisions. Mexican fighters hold titles in four of those 17 divisions. Also, Victor Ortiz was born in Kansas and lives in California. He’s not “Mexican.” And he won the title from Andre Berto (also not a Mexican) in a fight-of-the-year-type war that Ortiz deserved to win. And he's going to fight Floyd Mayweather (also not a Mexican) next. What did the WBC do that favored Ortiz?

Alvarez won his belt against Hatton (who isn't Mexican). Alvarez's #1 contender is American. Chavez Jr. won his belt from A GERMAN. He's fighting Thomas Hearns' kid next (the Hearns' aren't Mexican).

Before Alvarez and Chavez won belts, there were more WBC champs from Japan than Mexico - Ioka (strawweight), Nishioka (super bantamweight) and Aoh (super featherweight).

Well the WBC is from Mexico, the WBO from PR, IBF from the US and the WBA is from Venezuela if i remember correctly.

WBC and the WBA are the oldest sanctioning bodies. To bad they can't be the example of what an organization should be.

Actually it's HBO and the judges who are bias toward Mexican. Mexican will be ripped off if a fight is close. Just ask Delahoya, Castillo, Marquez and many others
