Why has Mexico not provided many good heavyweights?

[Pigeons]

Best heavyweight ive ever seen in mixed martial arts.

Look up Fedor Emelianenko.

UFC heavyweight is a very weak division just like in boxing. You also left out that cormier was an Olympic level wrestler

Not even close


Despite being less popular boxing still has a way more athletic talent pool


There aren’t any athletes like Fury. Parker. Whyte. wilder and Joshua at ufc hw


Hard hitting heavies who can go 12 rounds


Their ngannou #2 seed gasses out after 1 round

No, there are guys in Northern Mexico, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mexico City and in the state of Sinaloa that have size and are over 6ft. They dont need to box. Usually middle class.

They focus on college football, baseball.

Genetics!!!! Generally speaking Mexicans whether they are poor or middle class are simply not big tall men.

Boxing Trivia: Juan Manuel Marquez is the only fighter ever to hold a world featherweight title and the national Mexican
super heavyweight title at the same time.

In mexico if you are over 6ft 200lbs you become a luchador because the game and money come easier

Diet, nutrition and genetics. Same as Asians. And that probably has to do more with higher standards of living and ease of access to the right foods.

We're already starting to see top Mexican fighters in the middle divisions (Canelo, Zurdo, Benavidez) now, it's matter of time before we see them contending in the light-heavyweight and cruiser divisions

Once this happens, Mexicans will be undisputed in boxing. Mexicans already have a champion in every weight class up to 168lbs.

The Japanese are heavy in the lightweights, Eastern euros and brits are top heavy and Americans are well represented in the welters/middleweights.

Mexicans would be across the board from top to bottom.

My point still stands in regards to where you'll find the bigger, taller guys over 6ft, but yes, you are correct. In general the Mexican population isn't a tall one.

The native indian/indigenous population of the southern states brings down that average.
