    Like Ruben Olivares and the Japanese, for example. Or Antonio Margarito #pwned Cotto and the Puerto Ricans.

    Jk.

    Let's have some fun.

    Roger Mayweather was known as the Mexican assassin for his propensity of beating all the top class Mexicans at his weight class...until he ran into Chavez. But he really did have a knack for their style.

    I should also add Jimmy Robertson on the west coast also held that handle having beaten like 18 straight and would infuriate the Mexican crowd by saying, "There isn't a Mexican alive who could beat me." But again, that was until he ran into Rodolfo Gonzalez. But he did pack them in in every arena on the coast with the hopes of him getting beat, so it was a good marketing tool.

    Nino Valdes was 4-0 against Brits and a total of 7-0 in Europe. Also there was a French-Algerian I recall named Guy Gracia who was referred to as the scourge of the Brits or something like that because his success rate against their top fighters in England was extraordinary.
