    I think Monzon was of Amerindian/Aboriginal stock. Could be wrong.

    Mostly Indian. Not sure if the "one drop rule" (I think its called limpia de sangre in latin america) applies down there but he was considered Indian so far as I can tell.

    I read once that all African Americans have at least 30% white genes in them. In the end it shouldn't matter anyway, so who careS?


    Felix Sturms parents were from Bosnia not Croatia. They take that serious down there.

    If Ali's ancestor came from Madagascar, it's a one in a million chance.
