    Not so much 'mindless'. 'Offensive minded' would be a better description. Obviously there have been exceptions.

      That again has a lot to do with the commentators. They call every black fighter "slick" even though Austin Trout and Devon Alexander are about as slick as Brandon Rios.

          I didn't have time to read all that but I have been watching Mexicans box all my life. I think of them as brave aggressive and tough fighters but not mindless brawlers as a rule. Many of them have been extremely smart in the ring and highly skilled both on attack and defense. Some Mexican fighters might be pure brawlers but the same could be said of some boxers from all counties.

                If Mexico had more of an "amateur program" and/or didn't throw their fighters in pro fights at 15 years old, they would definitely have more multidimensional boxers, like say Abner Mares.

                  NO NEED! And it is not "MINDLESS"! Just add more boxing skills to go with the Brawling!

                  Brawling Works Great.....VS OTHER BRAWLERS! But vs Boxers it tend to get exposed majority of the time
