    Go for it shooter, Hispanics are genetically smaller than black or white men and that has always been a factor in how manly one is perceived. Thats why they tend to fight at smaller weight classes where the average man couldn't make weight if they tried. Not being an ass but its the truth.

    The tough guys are steriotyped as traveling in larger groups aswell, but thats an example of a bad steriotype because all wanabe gangstas do that. Just the public holds it against the hispanics more often.

      WOW! what courage we have!

      Dude! Let's not get out of hand here! Don’t let the dim thoughts of one or two less fortunate individuals get the best of you. It is obvious that these guys don’t have anything better to do than to start talking trash about themselves. Let’s talk boxing, not about, I can’t even spell the word Ebonics.

        About the macho hispanic thing, Alot of hispanic have harder jobs and harder lifes than most especially in the southern countries. It is expected for the male to be the macho type and work harder to provide for his family. And boxing plays off of this macho hype to build up fights. You hear alot of Mexican vs Mexican fights describes as wars when its just a small weight class with lighter punches. Thats why True Mexicans dont like DLH he isnt Macho aside of the ring. True he can hold his own inside of the ring though. But Mexicans like fighters like Vargas tough guy inside the ring and outside. But I don't really thing you can say that one race is better at something than another race. Its about genes not about race. Most professional athletes have been playing that sport since they were young. They grow into it. Also you can't prove someone is a pure race. The world is a melting pot. Italians are procived as tan skin dark hair and eyes, when actually Italians had blond hair, blue eyes, and light skin. Southern Italy was taken over so many times by arabs and Moors, that it got all blended in together.
