Who is/was the fastest Mexican fighter??

im glad the mexicans are not slick, coz slick is boring.except nonito:bbb:bbb:bbb

 

Mijares.

 

This is the right answer, high speed and high workrate, Mares is fast on all counts.

In response to my earlier post, yeah, whites are clumsy in general, but they come from such a huge genetic mix its more difficult to categorize. The little quick guys like Willie Pep and Wayne Mcculloch or Paulie M seem a different species than the Klitschkos or Valuev.

You just don't generally see this variety from Mexico in particular: they are all successful in the smaller weight classes and lack a certain mobility of foot that tends to be natural to the black athlete. The biggest disparity you could find would be probably Chris Arreola and Abner Mares, but even then Arreola is unusual and a stand out for being so big, successful, and a non-puerto rican hispanic. Even Vargas is unusual in being so successful beyond welter.

There is a genetic predisposition to muscle type which can be marginally changed. I will never be a distance runner but I will always be ok at sprints, but within a bottleneck or closed population I think it is probably 30% training and 70% natural predisposition.

 

Johnny Tapia had some fast hands.

 

:thumbsup

He should have stayed to continue the Beristain style...

 

jorge maromero paez was pretty quick an deserves a mention

 

Raul Macias was quick......
I forgot Vicente Saldivar...He had quick hands....

 

Rafael marquez

 

he did..he always used to look disinterested while he was fighting and start clownin' atsch

 

I always think how much more he could of accomplished had he actually shown more interest in the sport. I remember hearing back in the day (before internet) that he was more interested in chasing chicks instead of training and it showed in the Troy Dorsey fights. He actually gave Whitaker a better fight than Chavez because of his fast reflexes.
