    You could have said that so you wouldnt have looked like an idiot.

    And yea im having a hard time picking a winner for this. The safer bet should be Rios. Just cant see Acosta winning a decision in Vegas.

    That is very true.

    I normally keep mine even without working out but i might just be a freak of nature. My family is odd by "Mexican" standards. Im 5'11" and im the second shortest guy in my whole family.

    He looks the same as he always does before a fight. He will drink a gallon of water and go get a strawberry shake and he will be good to go.

    I believe everyone is actually about the same. Its your surrounding environment that will affect your athletecism. There is obviously those freaks of nature but i believe us as humans will adapt to most situations. Its hard to back up with facts that one race is better than the other overall.

    In my family for example. Amongst my guy cousins. I am considered one of the athletic ones. The reason for that is i lived in small towns my whole life so playing a sport is as fun as things get. The city cousins go out party and have many more unathletic activities to do so they are inferior in that department to the ones of us that grew up outside the city.

    Tough upbringing. Multiple fights growing up. The area where im from in Mexico is pretty tough. Like i have said before as kids we would watch out cousins fighting in "fight club" type of settings. Even as 6,7,8 year olds they would set us up as like undercards to the older teens. As a kid i remember having to fight all the time from kindergarden to elementary school. We would rank the class in order according to how good we were. I even remember my ranking in kindergarden. I was 4th in the class. I just remember we would fight all the time just for fun and pride. My cousins all do the same. My lil bro who was born here and raised here his whole life has a temper and he likes to fight but he shyes away from it because he gets in trouble at school and even with police if it gets to them. My cousins over there that are his exact age go fight all the time on the street.

    I think the surroundings just require you to be tougher over there.

    WEll yea most Mexicans have Aztec blood in them. The Aztec warrior was a fearless warrior. Also we have Spanish blood who are the conquistadores of the world.

    Jokes aside, JMM and Margo get ripped as hell, the right way. It's about a person's specific body type and training habits, not about "being Mexican". Take that faulty logic too far and you end up with Chris Arreola.

    Thats a terrible example. Vargas was caught on Roids for that fight. A better example would be Margarito recently, Montiel, JMM, Mares

    So that type of blood makes them special scientifically eh making them stronger and better than other ethnicity? Did science test these Aztec blood and the special genes yet?
