Yeah everything you posted is true! However, Andy is already in the history Books even if it was short lived but he is the First Mexican Heavyweight Champion so he will always have that at the very least which is a huge accomplishment. But yeah hopefully he is able to finish out his career strong

Mexican ancestry. He was born in the US so that makes him a Unites States citizen. Not Mexican. Since his parents were born in Mexico he was able to represent Mexico in the Olympics but that does not make him the first Mexican HW champ. Still he is the first fighter of Mexican ancestry to win a HW belt I believe.Yeah everything you posted is true!

In fairness his blood is pure Mexican and famously the British hero the Duke of Wellington (who was born in Dublin Ireland) said if I was born in a stable would I be a horseComment

True his blood is pure Mexican but he was still born in the US and his passport still says US citizen. A stable is not a country nor can it give you a valid passport. This is the beauty of the US. It is a mixture of all types of bloods and cultures from around the world. Being American does not mean being a certain color or race. If Andy's parents left Mexico to come here for a better life. Why should Mexico get to claim him as their champ?Comment

Agree if he chose a US passport over a Mexican one then he chose his nationality after all he can’t have his cake and eat itTrue his blood is pure Mexican but he was still born in the US and his passport still says US citizen.
