Mexican Boxing is in a Golden Age (2010-2019)

[Susej_SOG]

Yeah, we all know that mexican boxing is one of the biggest power-houses in this sport but… Mexican Boxing is in a Golden Age in the last decade.

It's another Golden Age, but I think only the 80's and 90's were better.

Mexican boxing is this late decade:

Wins against:

Pacquiao, Joshua, Lomachenko, GGG, JuanMa Lopez, Dogboe, Yamanaka, Rungvisai, Cotto, Viloria, Jacobs.

A lot of big wins against fighters from every part of the world…

A lot of fight of the years.

The biggest K.O in boxing history: Marquez vs Pacquiao IV and that was the best fight of the last decade.


A lot of champions (actually more of the 8), achievements, big wins, great fighters, multiple champions of the world...


And all this without support of the corrupt government.


Yeah, and a lot of hate of some people…


Respect to this humble Warriors that always bring a lot to this sport.

Yeah, Castillo was near but I always said he lost that first fight.

Floyd was a great legend and master of boxing, I respect a lot the blackamerican boxing school too, they and mexican boxing are my favorite schools of boxing.

And respect to Joshua too, he is a gentleman, the rematch will be great too.

I'm still anxious to see how Mexico responds to Andy Ruiz.

Boxing fans in that country don't traditionally warm up to Mexican American fighters.

Even Mexican fighters who were raised along the border areas aren't embraced as fully as boxers who come from central Mexico.

They're seen as somewhat Americanized.

They might give Ruiz a pass because of his historic achievement. Until he loses the belt.

Why don’t they? Mikey Garcia is in the same boat as Ruiz.

There's always been a rivalry between Mexican national and Mexican Americans. And I'm not just talking boxing.

Mexican Americans often view Mexican nationals as backwards and unsophisticated. Out of touch with American attitudes and style.

Mexican nationals regard Mexican Americans as "pochos" who are brown on the outside but white inside. Many Mexican Americans speak little or no Spanish and that's frowned upon by the nationals.

My first wife was a Mexican American raised in East Los Angeles. Over the years I witnessed the constant derogatory name calling and fights that went on between the nationals and the Mexican Americans in her neighborhood.

It's strange, but that's how they treat each other. There's just a lot of animosity.

Stop with your lies, first of all, it's very hard to be an mexican idol, just Raton Macias, Olivares and Chavez were mexican idols, most of the mexican champions that born in USA are supported by mexicans, and their fights are televised the people supports them like Garcia vs Spence.


And it does not matter if Andy loses the belt, he made history and he always would be remember like a special champion in mexican boxing history...

Sorry buddy, but you could not be any more wrong.

Mexicans don't embrace Mexican American fighters and vice versa.

Occasionally there are breakthroughs. It wasn't until nearly the end of ODLH's 17 year pro career that Mexicans grudgingly accepted him as a worthy fighter. Before that, he was reviled in Mexico.

And many Mexican American fans did support Chavez.

But overall, the 2 sides are opposites. It's always been that way. I grew up around this stuff. I know what I'm talking about.

You can't casually dismiss the reality simply because it clashes with your personal view of how you would like it to be.

You are exagerating the case.

The only one hated it was Óscar because he beat Chávez and he was an Idol


But Caín Velásquez fought in México and was supported by mexicans

Méxicanamericans played world cups representing México
