    Gamboas black? _:D just ****ing with you. The thing about us latinos is we come in every color and we mixed with every race, but before you call us white, black, brown, chino, etc we will fiercely correct you that we are latinos first. I will say some hardcore mexicans do have a problem with bein g called latinos but that is a different subject for another day.

    Many caribean people of african ancestry have native indian like taino for example or a european ancestor in the bloodlines. They look african but not completely or else cubans and boricuas would resemble their haitan or jamaican neighbors and they don't. I think gamboa more likely has mulatto in his blood. Oh by the way Checkout Oscar in his sfw and lightweight days he was plenty fast. The rematch he had with mosley you gotta watch comeback and tell me he wasn't fast.

    Many Cubans are mixed. But the overwhelming majority of the boxers do not look as mixed as you say. If you don't think so, check out Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yordanis Despaigne, Emilio Correa Jr, Luis Garcia, Juan Carlos Gomez, Glendy Hernandez, Yordanis Ugas, and several more. It seems the overwhelming majority of the boxers do.

    Okay i dont see whats so funny there is good representation in every weight class
    Including are Mexican Americans

    Chris Arreola
    Bj FLores
    Enrique ORnelas
    Liberado Andrade
    David Lopez
    Alfredo Angulo
    Saul Alvarez
    Victor Ortiz
    JUan M Marquez
    Jorge Solis
    Rafeal Marquez
    Fernando Montiel
    Abner Mares

    Ok i forgot who the fly and JB represenatives are but i can assure you they are world class.... Now let me see your list Herbzog for one country or nationality not all of europe. No one compares to that list.. With Enrique Ornelas being the only guy whos not one of the top guys in his division, but he did hang tough with Bhop the number guy.

    If we say tough and define it as the ability to keep coming after absorbing a tremendous amount of punishment then Mexico get's my vote.

    Classic Mexican examples of tough fighters
    1> Morales
    2> Vasquez
    3> Marquez

    I think some other countries that have "Tough fighters" are

    Armena
    eg.
    Abraham

    Ireland
    McCullogh
    Collins
    Duddy

    in the 80's USA had tough fighters but not as much these days.
    Thailand and Phillipines and Puerto Rico have very tough boxers too.
    Peniscola one tough nut.

    All the Thai fighters are animal for absorbing punishment.

    Mexico numero uno

    I thought his question was funny because the top USA fighters would beat the top Mexican boxers in the divisions he listed.

    As for your list, anyone can find a list of crappy fighters from each division as you have done. Worse yet, half of those lackluster fighters are Americans. You are not respresenting one nationality with that list, so why are you asking me to?

    For the Latin countries it is Mexico. Larry Merchant said it best and I quote, "Mexican fighters, even among other Latin fighters who are macho, are super macho...." He was saying this after JCC beat the living dog-**** out of Edwin Rosario.
