    Abner Mares i think is the most promising Mexican fighter coming up. He has good speed and power and is trained by Beristan so you know he will have eexcellent technique.

    I see this kid moving up in weight and in 2-3 years probably setting up a fight with Linares or Gamboa. Those should be great fights.

    How would you review them?

    I only really know Andrade and I see him as a top10 gatekeeper at 168, maybe he'll briefly get a belt once Calazage vacates

    Who's mexico's best prospect would you say?

    As long as a certain fight named Cristian Mijares exists Mexican boxing will never be on it's knees. :good

    Juan Diaz and Antonio Margarito aren't even Mexican. They were both born in the USA. Just because people have a certain skin color doesn't mean you are automatically a national or citizen of a certain country. You must display your stupidity flag with pride, huh?

    "Even though I was born in the United States, I'm a true Mexican at heart"

    Juan Diaz after he beat Popo Freitas.

    I thought Margarito was from Tijuana. I know Diaz is Chicano and so is Luevano and Guerrero but Im pretty sure Margo is from Tijuana.

    And? He was born in the USA whether he likes it or not, which makes him a United States Citizen. :patsch

    "Antonio Margarito (born March 18, 1978) is a boxer from Tijuana, Mexico."'

    Per a couple of websites.

    Is it your time of the month?

    Boxrec have them listed as Mexican (well it used to have Diaz as Mexican its just changed him). They both have Mexican heritage
