Able Sanchez "black fighters...."

[Ron Swanson]

That is not an unusual opinion, you hear it a lot in Mexican gyms. Plus, my understanding is that Mexican/Mexican-American people buy PPVs at a higher rate than any other ethnicity, by a large margin.

Some years back Floyd himself told my friend, who was 15-0(10) at the time, to protect his 0 because an "undefeated Mexican fighter is a very valuable commodity."

But what's being missed in this is that this "undefeated mexican" isn't a valuable commodity for his style, it's because his country will support him. The idea that there is a mexican style is preposterous. Barrera didn't fight like Chavez, or Morales, or Marquez or Alvarez. Not one of them fought like the other.

Mexicans are usually come forward fighters with chin tucked solid fundamentals. But each fighter is different.

Similarly, Joshua doesn't fight like Wilder who doesn't fight like Ward who doesn't fight like Charlo who doesn't fight like Spence who doesn't fight like Thurman. Hell, Charlo doesn't even fight like Charlo FFS.

The idea Mexicans, or "blacks" or " white's" or or or can be pigeon holed into a fighting style because of the country they were born or the color of their skin is ignorant. And the boxing media is shite for not calling him on such ignorance. But really it's worse than ignorant because the dude knows that, he's buck dancing insulting his own people to sell GGG like hey predictable mexicans buy GGG because he fights how all Mexicans like because Mexicans are all the same. Dude is a scumbag. Mexicans are a diverse people. "Blacks" are diverse too.
