That will create self-esteem problems especially if you "feel" limited every time you train. There are tough fighters from all races. Find your own style and work on that.

      lol. shane has one of the worst jabs for a fighter of his status and skill set. he has a sluggers mind set/technique but a boxers reflexes. really weird fighter if you ask me.

          ... Bad examples. Roy Jones and Ali trained harder than 99% of boxers.

          How bout Zab? That guy has ridiculous speed but is not the gym rat other greats are.

            punch the same pads you jabbed with......
            it will show how fast you are if it is still there with your right.

              I assume you posted your body stats because they are similar to Mosley. Mosley however isn't part Asian if you refer to his wearing of the Korean flag which is because of his ex-wife. If I'm mistaken for your reason of posting that info, then ignore this.

                Asians can punch as well as anyone. Look at Bruce Lee. For years after i started boxing i couldn't punch my way through a wet paper bag. Now I hit like a freak. Im not making this up, 160 pounds and I hit harder than all of our gyms heavy weights. It took strength (And I mean strength, think bench press 300 pounds twice as opposed to 100 pushups), speed (plyometrics and close attention to my snap), flexibility (stretching), and good form (watch the hard punchers, figure out how to line the joints up and maybe try a wider base). It takes a little time but it is well worth it to learn how to do it right.

                  well some stuff will come natural to you that others will struggle with, and some things you will struggle with that others will be good at. to be honest, train hard, you may not be the greatest but you can be a decent boxer.... or you may be the greatest.
