I'm guessing because like asians, mexicans are a typically pretty small or regular sized people, so not many are going to be big enough? just a guess though. dont know what i'm talking about.
It's a numbers game. Compare [url]Heavyweight[/url] with [url]Featherweight[/url] in Mexico (hyperlinks). If you do the same for the US, the situation is reversed, with [url]Featherweight[/url] having way fewer fighters than [url]Heavyweight.[/url]
As many have stated, it has to do with Hispanics in general being of shorter stature than those of other regions.
Mexicans don't eat as much processed or hormone laced food as their northern & western neighbors. As soon as the fast food joints and shitty foods take hold in Mexico, then expect 6"-7" giants.
