Is he a mexican great or did he just get gift decisions that made him champ?

More like a Mexican Fake . Depends what you mean by great, like an All-Time great or one of the better Mexican fighters of his era?

Here's how I see it-> He should be considered both! Afterall he's of Mexican blood born in the U.S.

Yes I consider him a Mexican great but on the lower rung. However I don't see him as an All-Time great when you throw in all boxers not just Mexicans. Definitely one of the best in his era.

IMO - he's a great American boxer. I've got to admit, I found the confusion about his nationality a little funny. I can't imagine anyone calling Ali an African great or Somalia great or whatever.

Now that I think of it, what kind of great was Lennox Lewis? Jamaican, Canadian, or British?

That's true. Who gives a phuk. He ended up kind of an "in the trash with the ibf and wba belt" champion anyway
