What makes Latino fighters so great and dominant in boxing?

lol. Just accept it and move on. SLOWMACHENKO Got beat. It wasn't even close.
Lopez was the better man tonight.

Did he get beat inthe second half of the fight, when he stepped on the gas!?!?

you really think Lopez wins that fight if he's clean?

you really think Lopez, even with completely unbridled abuse of PEDs, wins that fight if he were the same size as Loma?

You really think Loma's gonna take off the first half of the fight in the rematch!?

White americans don't take up boxing because they don't have the economic pressures to have to, same as whites in western europe

hence why many of the top white fighters are eastern european (its not race, its all socio-economics)

I’m not sure if this is entirely true many American whites compete in other combat sports MMA and wrestling etc globally you have many very good - great white fighters many from Europe with the UK being a particular hot bed for great fighters ATM josh Taylor for example is something special

So white Ppl suck at boxing is what your saying lol

Those white people employ tons of work for maids, lawncare workers, orchard pickers, etc... and pay the welfare of those supposed "warrior" Hispanics that cowardly flee their country for better whitey land. Easier to produce boxers in 3rd world sheeitholes.

Black fighters have been beating the s&*& out of latino fighters for YEARS

I'm not talking about the fighters. I'm talking about the fight.
Loma didn't do enough for first 7 rounds. He's literally giving away those rounds. When he stepped on the gas, it was too late.
Lopez won. He was the better man.
it is this simple.

what makes white people so dominant in swimming?

[Marvlus Marv]

Far too much race-baiting on this site. Way to go throwing bullshti on top of an excellent win for Lopez. Who cares what 'race' he is, ffs?
People like you watch boxing for the wrong reasons.

Latino countries generally have harsh enough conditions to produce tough people, but without being so third world that there isnt any proper infrastructure for sports. Also boxing is probably much bigger there than any other part of the world, especially these days, and they dont really fragment their fighter talent pool between different combat sports the way Americans, Russians etc do.

There are more Latino boxing fans who pay money for tickets and PPVs than most other demographics, so the promoters, the salesmen, push the product that will get the most people to buy. Whatever you think of their all time great status, or their P4P claims, the last 10 years saw an excellent crop of non-USA, non-Hispanic, non-UK... basically, non-big-$-demographic fighters. GGG, Lomachenko, Pacquiao, Kovalev.

Between these 4 excellent smaller demographic fighters, they had a total 6 fights at the pinnacle of the sport, and going into those fights had only 1 loss between them since the time Pacquiao fought Morales.

GGG vs Canelo twice.
Pacquiao vs Mayweather.
Kovalev vs Ward twice.
Lomachenko vs Lopez.

And with only 1 loss between them since Pacquiao-Morales going into this group of superfights, this crop of foreign fighters lost or drew ALL SIX. ALL SIX TIMES, lol. And Canelo vs Kovalev would make 7.

And all 6+ times, either the American or Hispanic, and either the bigger money-making fighter in the present or projected to be in the future, won the fight against the non-USA, non-Hispanic fighter.

Do you think that's just a coincidence? Do you think that's really just how it went down on talent alone? Or do you think maybe something else is really going on? Pacquiao looked old vs Floyd Mayweather. At that time, Pacquiao was trained by one of the most experienced trainers in the sport, Freddie Roach. Then he looked even older vs Jeff Horn. 3-4 years later, when he's 40 years old, he fires his real trainer, hires his childhood friend with zero training experience, and beats prime Keith Thurman. 40 year old Pacquiao, without a trainer, somehow looks better than 36 year old Pacquiao, with a pro trainer.

Why? Maybe because Pacquiao generates a lot more money than Thurman, but he generates a lot less money than Floyd? I don't know... it's just my opinion and my speculation... but search your feelings... something seems amiss....

Freddie was in Manny's corner for Thurman. He wasn't for Matthysse

[Boxing Logic]

Freddie was in Manny's corner for Thurman. He wasn't for Matthysse

He wasn't the lead trainer though was he? Anyway, it's irrelevant. The trainer aspect is just 20% of my point. Much more significant, the 80%, is trainer change or no trainer change, how did a boxer who showed significant decline from age 32 to age 36, a four year period, then show significant improvement at age 40, four years after four years of significant decline?

And vs probably the 2nd biggest opponent of his career, and maybe the 2nd most athletic, and a very fast and skilled one, and one of the biggest punchers he ever faced too?
