    I read somewhere that Chris Arreola couldve been the first Mexican heavyweight champion had he won at any of his title shots, so with that said, is it really true that Mexico never really produced a heavyweight champion?

    If so, I find that hard to believe considering that Mexico produces so many fighers and past champions in boxing.

    they didn't.

    Most Mexicans are relatively small, so in the lower weightclasses.
    In shape Arreola wouldn't even be a HW either probably.
