Why don't Mexican/Latino boxers ever seem to get punch drunk...?

Randomly speaking of Aztec, the civilization has always intrigued me and I am looking forward to that Mel Gibson movie "Apocalypto" which deals with the end of the Aztec civilization. Looks baddass! Just saw a preview in a theater today. Back to the topic everyone ;)

Mel has upset me lately with all his controversial actions but I think I will see the movie as well (dvd) but it looks great, I guess we will have too read the movie because them speaking english will be to unrealistic.

But if there brain is protected more than its only reasonble to conclude that the blunt trauma would have minimal effect.... ???

Took me a fair while to realise what you typed....
Nerr i dont see how the barrera thing was a dig?!.. it is the barrera comment that youre pointing out isnt it?... i dunno man just feel thats not specifically offensive...
Im not trying to make a statement or anything im jus bien honest for the sake of fair arguement ..and so that this rivalrly doesnt affect good solid posting you know..
if theres something i missed tell me i'll try understand.. not sure if its sometin to do wit MAB or anythin :-\
Peace

Is the answer to this question not that mexicans/latinos tend to be in the lower weight, so puching power is significantly lower. It seems to be the heavies who get most affected by punch-drunkenness, although the little guys obviously face the dangers of weight draining/dehydration...

Wilfredo Benitez is punch drunk(Dementia pugilistica)

apocalypto is about the mayans.

I have the TYSON vs. MATHIS jr fight program and theres a picture of Chavez, Don King and Tyson standing in front of the MGM Casino, and JCC is the shortest one but his Head is like 3 times as big as Tyson and King's. His head is HUGE!!

Interesting thread Chavez and Duran didnt get hit to much.I dont think the statement on heads is true. but Id be interested in whats the altitude they generally live at that could have something of a bearing

Believe it or not he has them all speaking the Aztec dialect, just like he had them speaking Latin for Passion of the Christ...promises to be good stuff.
