Why has Mexico not provided many good heavyweights?

[JJRod]

And how many of them are 6-footers ?

You don't even see that many light heavyweight Mexicans.
Mexicans were spawned by Asians.
Do the math.

It's a joke pendejo. You do the math.

Dear god John Ruiz was not MEXICAN. He was Puerto Rican.

That talentless hack should never be called Mexican ever again.

LOL
Just because he has a Spanish name, OP assumed he was Mexican.
Alex Garcia was a heavyweight contender.

There's only so many 6'5 Tony Gonzales' in Mexico. And he decided to play football. They are out there, but are rarer than unicorns.

Or basketball players.

Mexican men are short on average, they are about 5'5" - 5'7".

Same with most Latin-American and Asian countries.

You'll have a hard time to find a Latin-American country who's average height for males reaches 5'9".

With that said, Latin-American kids these days seem to be getting taller. They're reaching 5'11"-6' in middle school. Probably due to being Americanized and having access to better food, lifestyle.

They are small, poor excuses for men.

Bit harsh man, come on...

Boxing has a has huge culture in Mexico and among Mexican-Americans but aside from John Ruiz there haven't been many notable heavyweights.

John Ruiz is Puerto Rican
