    If you consider him Mexican (he was born in LA), he probably is.

    He's about as much the greatest Mexican HW as John Ruiz is (who's from Puerto Rico).

    It depends how you consider nationalities. His parents are from Mexico, so he's undoubetdly absorbed some of the Mexican culture. However, Arreola was born in the States and has never held a Mexican citizenship. And please don't mention "blood" or genetics because neither corralates with someone's specific country or in this case his parent's country. I would consider him a Mexican-American and I would put more weight on the American portion since he's born there and has learn to box in the States.

    BJ Flores started as a HW, and he'll more than likely finish his career at HW.

    yeah you guys are right i should have been a little more careful with my wording. i guess you could say he is of mexican descent although technically he's not even mexican american.

    he definitly likes american fastfood and from what i have seen he has the mexican heart... so he is mexican-american. a little bit of both and a little bit of nothing, mixed between two cultures
