    Mexicans have the well-earned reputation of coming to fights with everything and letting it all hang out; seldom do you find in their ranks pugs who fight like a Sugar Ray Leonard, Pernell, PBF, WBenitez (who is from Puerto Rico and not Mexican), prime Roy Jones, Jr....

    It's such a marvel that so many of them rack up half-century- fight- tallies in their careers with KOs and KDs scantly blemishing their records.

    Of course there are many steel-chinned fighters from other nationalities--Gatti used to take so much-- but in general terms, I think the Mexicans have it.

    And, yes, Asians aren't too bad. All you have to do is watch a handful of Muay Thai (Thai Kick Boxing) fights in ****kok to see that.

    Is it in the water?

          Just using your sig alone, I see one. Gatti. Unless his heart makes him appear to have a good chin.

            I personally think it has something to do with their calves. They have pretty big calves for their sizes.

            Is Zoo Asian?

                Oh. I just looked, you're right.
                Marciano and Lamotta have such good chins, that they count for like 50 Mexicans combined.

                  they are italian americans, half and half. but i can see where you got it from.

                  BTW, from what i hear, gatti's parents are italian and moved from italy to canada, and arturo moved to jersey city.

                    W. Klizko is Asian, but he does not have a great chin.

                      Ah I see. That makes sense. Gatti is an italian name and he even looks italian.
