Mexican boxers have consistently put on some of the most exciting bouts in the history of the sport. Known for their relentless aggression, they can overwhelm opponent’s with dangerous maneuvers and tactics from the very start of the fight. McGregor famously bragged that he had turned Mayweather into a Mexican when Floyd got aggressive during the later rounds of their unprecedented boxing match. Fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez, Canelo Alvarez, and Ricardo Lopez are infamous for their incredible displays of refined ferocity in the squared circle.

Oh snap!! now it makes sense
Im a mexican amateur boxer, and there are a lot of quotes in the different gyms, but some of the most repeated are:
"Mexican boxers are not taught on how to box backwards" "Mexicans are very related to death through our culture, so when we face the grim, we dont run from her, we face and dance with her" "The day poverty is over, boxing ends. Only a few from medium class have the guts, but highers classes dont have it: sometimes the anger from an unfair life with no chances is needed to do whatever you need to do in this cruel sport " "there's no place to hide in a ring"
Maybe later i will edit for typo
this is cool
Those quotes go hard
Much respect brother
Bruh this is 🔥🔥
As a Brazilian, I feel that brother.
"If you want to attack like a caveman, you have to set it up like a scholar." Awesome
That sounded familiar when I typed it so not sure if I came up with that one lol But it's very true!

@@TheModernMartialArtistcould you send me the a link to the music played in the vid pleass😊?
I remember back in the 90s when I met a Mexican former champion, he was champion back in the 80s, and I asked him if he liked getting hit (stupid question, I know) and his answer stuck with me ever since: "sometimes you have to get hit once to hit back 2-3 times". This I believe is the heart of every Mexican champion. No fear of an exchange with the mindset that you will win that, and every exchange. Although not Mexicans, I would also like to add Alexis Arguello and Roberto Duran to the list as thoroughly "Mexican" fighters. Great video as always and I will always look forward to your next one.
Well if it’s worth noting Duran was half Mexican ( his father was a Mexican - American soldier ) 😂
I was just about to say the same thing!@@emmanuelguzman7868
I remember when Juan Manuel Marquez was facing Michael Katsidis, Juan was asked if he thought his chin would hold up against Katsidis' power, he answered "I don't intend to find out".
Which was a smart answer since it's dangerous to test your chin against a puncher. That said, Marquez knew he'd have to take some shots in order to land his own, which he did.
Durans Father was Mexican, but he grew up in Panama
@@foolinafight4051 gotta remember though that Mexican is a nationality not a specific race. Mexicans have been mixed with different native tribes for thousands and thousands of years and recently European y chromosome add mixture. Mexican isn't its own race or whatever social construct. It's a place and a culture. Mexicans are mostly mestizos. Native American mothers and Iberian fathers. So what I'm saying you can't be half Mexican but one of your parents or two of your grandparents can be if they're from there. Duran was born and raised in Panama. His DNA would still probably be Native American x chromosome and Iberian y chromosome.
A common misconception is that Mexican style is all offence and no defence but a lot of Mexican fighters were/are deceitfully slick
Chávez Sr was really good
@@Juan-hh8ik Agreed! Saúl’s sideways stance can roll with shots and place him in position to pick a spot for that deceptive left! That said, I hope he never fights Beterbiev-he has a young family and everything to live for😑
@@Juan-hh8ikAfter his loss to Mayweather, he switched his style up to be more elusive.
Yes especially Salvador Sanchez
Ricardo Lopez, incredibly deceptive, good Boxer.

Mmm we also love football (soccer for you guys)
You forgot to mention, Mexican boxers tend to have chins of fucking steel dude. Seriously, I have nothing but admiration for Mexican boxers, they always put on some of the best performances win or lose. I admire them a lot, their “never give up” style is seriously inspirational.
Iron chins and titanium bodies.
Can't knock them down, and body shots rarely faze them.
I think one of their greatest strengths is not being afraid to take a punch. They like fighting
Biggest factor for real man
My theory is this, Mexicans/Aztecs had very little metallurgy, thus they mainly used wooden weapons, get hit with a club in battle and you were getting sacrificed soon after...
So the ones who lived are the ones who didn't get knocked out as easy and thus Mexicans have hard heads!
I totally came up with this theory, it has no basis in anything, just a theory.
@@All_Hail_Chael I'm just thinking it's really the combo of endurance genetics with a touch of a long history of fighting. These motherfuckers used to play death games
This is the most enlightened conversation I've ever heard.
LOL! What an eye opener! There is something here that I haven’t figured out about Mexican boxers but interesting theories that are probably not far fetched:) in any case it makes for great boxing matches:)
From a Colombian-American, Mexican boxers and Mexican guys for the most part don't back down from anybody, and, although sometimes it is a good idea to be afraid and walk away, everybody has to respect that! No son cobardes
I love how literally the greatest boxers in Hajime no Ippo are also Mexican
_(Not including Takamura ofc)_
yes even in pound for pound, it is stated that aside from takamura, ricardo is the second
Also in Ashita no Joe
@@themodernmacho Yea
Cuz mexicans are historically known for slaying japanese boxerd
I honestly would rather watch Mexican style above other styles. It’s more exciting and keeps me on the edge of my seat

They fun to watch!
You are so right about Mexican boxing being ultimately based on "machismo culture." Mexico has a long history of ranching and farming which is where American cowboys learned to be a cowboy. In this Mexican ranch environment it is well known that a "Mulo" (mule) is much stronger, tuffer, and that it can carry a load over a longer distance than a horse. In Mexican culture the mulo is the everyday example for all Mexican men. You don't quit. You carry the load. You go the distance. You suffer the consequences. This attitude and heart is what gives Mexican boxers their reputation. I would add that this is the reason Mexican boxers also go by the rule of "no hugging and no running." Its more like Roman gladiator times. You stand your ground and fight.
A male mula is a….. MACHO
“Tuffer” 😆
@@johnbolton2149hey english teacher

Mexico deserves to call boxing their national sport.

100% agree with you. @@cristianaragon292
A lot of them tend to have great sportsmanship as well. Sanchez and Chavez being excellent examples. Monsters in the ring. Humble in victory. Gracious in defeat. And absolute gentleman outside of the ring.

The mexicans seem to fight more frequently, turn professional very young, and have very long amateur careers. I bet they spar a ton, too. It all cultivates that in-ring relaxation that is the secret to taking and giving out huge punches. It's the same formula for Thai kickboxers.
To be fair mexican fighters don’t fight in the amateurs for long, that’s why they turn pro at a young age
You got it right
Been to both Mexican boxing gyms and Muay Thai gyms I use both for mma and agree heavily on the styles being similar. Almost like it’s built for trading shots
Mexican just have balls
The mexican heart is work horse. And shows up when they go pound for pound with any race... we small but we bring heat.😅

All hail Mexican boxers!
I would like to say that Mexican boxing mentality does hurt some Mexican fighters because they believe the only style of boxing is toe to toe. When really (as highlighted in this video) legendary coach Nacho Bernstein showed through fighters like Gilberto Roman, Ricardo Lopez and others that Mexican boxing can be much more. Sanchez is another to add to the list.
Well like any style, it has its cons, but the fact that many fighters have used this style effectively tells me there's a reason this style exists
@@xavierjuno4572it's all they know.
They're literally not taught any other way of fighting.
Salvador Sanchez is the best example hitting opponents with powerful counterpunches while also evading and defending himself from opponents retaliation punches
@@g.panitikan1929yeah he like the Mexican version of sugar ray Robinson

Mexican style #1 in boxing atm. 13 🇲🇽 world champions plus Mexican American champions. Tierra de campeones 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
The most successful Mexican boxers are the ones that use the "slick black" American style. Look at Canelo, Salvador Sanchez and Marquez. All slick counter punchers that adapted the American style.
@@southcentreal”slick black”😂😂😂. 2023 was a bad year for slick black

@@SkillsPayTheBills01WHAT'S ONE YEAR WHEN WE'VE DOMINATED THE SPORT FOR OVER 100 YEARS!!
@@southcentreal😂😂 “slick black American style “ is NOT a thing - the slickest boxer in history is Salvador Sanchez - who would wash any slick black boxer - the black American style relies solely on pure defense and ONLY being in the back foot and relying ONLY on the jab to win - 😂
Salvador Sanchez so Smooth
Been watching the sport since I was a young kid in the 70's and they called it the Mexican fighting style back then. Even though technically it is Pressure fighting and there are many different types the Mexican style is pretty much set in stone. These fighters are taught all of these techniques from a very young age and spend all their careers mastering them.
Pacman beat plenty of Mexicans
Since you were around back then, what were they calling it when Sonny Liston, Earnie Shavers, George Foreman, Marvin Hagler and Mike Tyson fought aggressively?
The thing i liked about Chavez style, or even moreso Lopez style, was that it didn't rely on inherent physical attributes like speed, reflexes, or power. As long as you had the conditioning (which can be trained) you could use the style to simply breakdown your opponent and render any physical advantages they might have over you irrelevant.
They're faster? Set traps for them and walk them onto punches (Barrera vs Hamed, JMM vs Pac)
They're stronger? Get close, don't give em space for big punches, and break them down with combos and infighting (Chavez vs well, everyone)
Etc.
Balls of steel pretty much summed it up!
Same with guatemalans
@@treejay818 they got that Mayan blood, those boxers are underrated
It’s a boxing centric country with a very high participation rate, that plays a gigantic role.
Boxing isn’t as common as you might think in Mexico but it is getting more popular mainly because of the success of Mexican athletes
@@theflowofstreetwall576 Mexico in general is a very spectator nation in sports and not as many participate in sports, as one would presume. That’s changing in many sports, though. Boxing is one of the few sports where you can see more Mexicans try to participate in it.
Boxing is also newer to Mexico compared to the U.S so that says something
Actually, soccer is the preferred sport in Mexico, and they have many leagues and national tournaments for it. They play a lot more soccer than boxing, and yet they're not successful competing internationally. It's more likely that they're just naturally good at boxing, they have good coaching and they see it as their duty to win for their country.
What is very interesting is the little to no support the government gives to these fighters, and how good they turn out. Imagine if the government helped the talent
Mexican fighters don't quit.
That is factually wrong. No nation has quit more in boxing than Mexico.
@@seablock for real?
@@morningstar577 Yeah, for real.
See how many you can name from other countries. Then i'll give you a list from Mexico.
@@AT-zg9ov A quitter is someone who can very much continue, but decides not to. The only justified reasons to stop a fight is if they have a broken jaw or a fractured eye socket. Not through getting a little cut or having a sore hand.
Ricardo Lopez was getting beat up by Alvares as well as getting dropped. The jump up in class compared to what he was used to fighting was clear. Lopez didn't like it one bit. But not only that, Alvares was well ahead on any sane person's card in completed rounds. Yet Lopez and his team were very comfortable in going to the cards and believing they would get the decision. So not only is he a quitter, he's corrupt as well. He knew Don King would do for him what he did for many Mexicans. The same things Mexicans get done for them in this day and age with all the mass corruption and cheating.
Chavez was a quitter. Morales. Chavez's son, Jr. Manuel Medina and so on and so forth. There's just so many who have quit in fights.
@@seablockmost of the time their coaches tell the ref to stop the fight
The greatest boxer ever is Salvador Sanchez.
He definitely could have been if he had lived. He had the frame and stature to go up in weight classes pretty easily too in my opinion. So who knows what he could have achieved with more time. What he did already at that age was kind of nuts.
@@TheModernMartialArtistWho would you say is the greatest fighter of all time in any combat sport, be it wrestling, Muay Thai, kickboxing, mma, ect.
Who in your mind has the accolades, accomplishments, iq, and competitiveness to be at the top?
@@TheModernMartialArtisthonestly think that boxing lost a piece of itself when he died who would have known what kind of future the Mexican boxing scene could have
You are wrong, Don Ramon the best Mexican boxer of all times
@@keyboardwarrior1233Wrong. Don Ramon was a beast, but his apprentice "El chavo Del 8" is the goat.

Only Manny Pacquiao is able to meet the Mexican competition head on like no other. However Mexico has some of the VERY BEST boxers in the history of Professional Boxing.
Yeh Pacquiao is the only boxer ever to outperform Mexican boxers since Ancient Greece and Egypt
😒
@@legendary3952well he's not wrong, Mexican fighters are tough to deal with both defensively and offensively, so the fact that Pacquiao can beat Mexicans consistently really speaks for the man's talent
Cubans and Puerto Ricans gave Mexicans a hard time, that experience gives Mexicans that hardened edge. Check out some of the epic battles. I forgot which Mexican fighter went to Puerto Rico because of their top fighter was dying of aids and they embraced each other as brothers sad to see. Not just having the heart but you got to put it to the test.

God bless Mexican boxers. Great
When I have been asked about Mexican style boxing I have always described it as aggressive defense. You have to be a master at defense to have the confidence to persistently pressure forward. Also, something that people forget is that defense and offense are two sides of the same coin: to truly understand one is to understand both.
Mexican boxing defense is your offense
Mexican style boxing imo is the purest form of boxing - it embodies everything about the sport and why is was created
@@abrahamhernandez1913not quite - but yes.
Isaac pitbull Cruz is the perfect example of a pure Mexican warrrrrrrior
They’re never the fastest or flashiest, it’s the heart. Viva Mexico (from a proud neighbor)
In LA, years ago i had a black coach from the same gym and time as Pryor in philly and told me everyone there was calling Sal Sanchez "Little Ali" due to his slick head and shoulder movement.
He reminds me more of Sugar Ray Robinson.
Salvador was a master at his style by the time he passed away, and like it was correctly stated, he will forever remian as the greatest what if, he left too early and yet, what little he gave boxing was enough to become an immortal legend, imagine what that man could have accomplished if only he had been given more time.
@TheHeadsHunter he was already disciplined and didn't party too much which makes me want to believe that he would've still performed great in his 30s if he didn't plan to retire and become a doctor.
Tenacity and dedication
Fantastic video, Mexican style boxing does not get talked about nearly enough anymore and it is a shame because they have had some of the best rivalries comebacks and fights in general because of the gameness and warrior spirit they always bring to the ring.
iMO its the worst style in ALL of Boxing. Canelo and Chavez are the only Fighters who used this style to Perfection. The rest Suck Ass juice. Chicanos are better than Mexicans, always have been.
🇲🇽Style boxing is the worst. I like Jaime Munguia because although he is Mexican he does NOT fight "🇲🇽style" a style i can NOT stand. So cringe that style.

Sanchez was the most impressively skilled to me. We only got to see him in his prime so it's not exactly fair to the others who had long careers and performed at a very high level through most of it. For those few years he boxed so well he really didn't need to rely on heart, chin or power.

World class analysis,Greetings🇺🇸🇲🇽🫡
That is awesome to hear you are part of our family! Welcome! I remember as a amateur Mexican boxer, we would go to spar at other gyms and the one thing my dad told me is "We as a people never stop moving forward, even in the face of death". Of course this is translated to English but when you hear that in your corner, you come out slugging and eat every punch your opponent throws at you. The Mexican style is the Mexican way of life. Never stop advancing.
I love this as a short series concept. Like "what makes Puerto Rican, US, or Ukrainian... boxers great" might be fun to explore
Sanchez fights are a beauty to watch
Genetics play a part. Mexicans havea high level of endurance genes and also have a gene that reduces their chance of becoming punch drunk which makes it harder to ko them forgot what its called tho
Exactly but most people don’t know this or choose to ignore it. Every race has different attributes
Facts, Mexicans also have the highest levels of testosterone which probably contributes to the aggressive style most likely inherited from the Aztecs and counterparts
This is very true, especially those with native American descent. It also makes them more resilient to brain injuries from trauma.
I believe the gene you’re referring to is slow twitch muscles.
@@Thehabanero_ no that's not the gene

One of your best videos!
Best technique video ever! Bravo
Love the Hajime no Ippo reference. I'm so glad I found this channel.
That's tight that your Wife is a Mexicana, Brother. Mexican Style is more of a Philosophy than a different Fighting Style. In Pro Boxing, four overall Styles exist: Outboxer, Infighter, Counterpuncher, and a Brawler/Swarmer/Slugger. Some Legends master one Style. Some master multiple of the Styles. Julio Cesar Chavez is one of the Greatest Infighters in History. Many of other Mexican Legends worked out of the Mid-Range as Counterpunchers. A few like "Golden Boy" Oscar de la Hoya were Outboxers. Canelo Alvarez switched from a Swarmer to more of a Counterpuncher after Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. ultimately schooled and educated him in the Ring. Canelo has arguably the greatest Head slip in Boxing History.

Could u perhaps do a vid on Rafel Fiziev from the UFC? Insane explosive fighter and the way he works himself into range is impressive.
