    How do you rate the current state of Mexican boxing?

    I dont think I have ever seen Mexican boxing so weak. Many of the best Mexican fighters have been getting owned as of late. It seems there has been many Asian (especially Fillipino) fighters making a wave throughout the lower weight classes as well.

    JMM - lost to Chris John
    Morales - lost to Raheem , then twice to Pacman
    Barera - was destroyed by Pacman
    Vargas- two crushing defeats to Mosley
    Margarito- dominated
    Castillo- knocked out
    De La Hoya - lost 3 out of his last 5 fights. Arguably 4 out 5 , as many thought Sturm beat Oscar.
    Arce- dominated but beat by another Mexican fighter.

    Juan Manuel Marquez's loss to Chris John seems highly dubious.

    fighers like Rafael Marquez, Israel Vazquez, Ponce de Leon, and Christian Mijares tell me that the Mexican Boxing scene is not exactly struggling right now.

    ITs still a place where they produce a ton of quality boxers.

    Ponce De Leon really has work cut out for him, he has an upcoming bout with the highly touted Rey Bautista. De Leon may be joing that list! What do you think ? You are Filipino and are far more familiar with Bautista. Who wins Bautista vs De Leon?

    I might be Filipino but I've been living in Quebec for the past fifteen years :blood

    I've seen Bautista in only five fights or so due to where I currently live

    . He's a very good talent but Ponce de Leon is a very big step up for him. Then again, the way De Leon fought with an aging Penalosa, Bautista might have a better chance than most people think!

    Mexicans have never really done anything above the 140 pound division.

    They still have good fighters like Rafael Marquez, Israel Vasquez, Jhonny Gonzalez, Ponce De Leon, Christian Mijares, Humberto Soto.

    Vargas and DLH are both Americans and never represented Mexican boxing.

    What is Chris John ranked by the RING ? I dont take those rankings seriously! Pacman will beat Barrera again, and will beat JMM again. The only reason Pacman vs JMM was a draw , was because the idiot judge didnt know how to add the scorecard up and admitted it.

    mexican boxing is at a transition state, some of the more well known fighters are getting old while some upcoming and exciting prospects are getting recognized...its just a matter of time actually, people grow old.

    And so is to other countries.

    You are Jsantini. He had a huge list exactly like that. He posted a bunch of garbage about how Librado Andrade was going to KO Kessler . Andrade lost every second of the fight royaly, then shortly afterwards Jsantini stopped posting. Edit: Acctually it is that same list.

    I have nothing against Mexican fighters but is funny the trash the fans talk , then their fighter keep getting totally owned. Margarito, Castillo were both supposedly going to demolish Williams and Hatton.

    Don't worry about him, he just likes to hate on Mexican boxers, don't know why (and it's not because of the trash talking)? :?
