Are Mexican boxers overrated?

If that were the case, other nationalities wouldn't be eager to be labeled a "Mexican killer" or adopt a Mexican related moniker. They're some of the most talented as well as entertaining fighters in the sport. I think there's this perception of them being face first brawlers in part because a lot of fighters will pad their records with lower tier Mexican opposition.
Mexican fighters often travel overseas, take on top caliber opposition, along with taking each other out moving up the ranks and unifying as champs-- fighters like Vazquez-Marquez and Barrera-Morales probably took years off their careers facing one another to the benefit of the public. Contrast that with fighters of certain other nationalities that primarily remain at home, face mid tier opposition and steer away from their countrymen.

I guess as always it depends on who is doing the rating. I rate the best Mexican boxers extremely high. I have lived in LA, Tucson and Albuquerque and have been watching good Mexican boxers for decades and often live. They train hard and fight their hearts out and are very hard to beat. Fighters like Marquez, Napoles, Chavez, Lopez,Saldivar, Olivares and so many more past greats and all the great Mexicans fighting today would be hard to overrate. Mexico loves boxing and they are a great boxing country.
