Jose asked in SportsBoxing · 3 years ago

Do you think the closest thing to All-time great Native American/American Indian boxers, aside from Henry Armstrong, are...?

a few Latino boxers from Latin America?

Since it seems like Native American boxers are almost non-existent, with Henry Armstrong(Top 5 All-Time Great P4P boxer) being only Half Native American according to his biography. As for Latinos, people need to realize that Latino isn't race. It's an ethnicity composed of multiple races, with Mestizo(Half White, Half Amerindian), American Indian(full-blooded) and Mulatto(Half Black, Half White) being the most predominant racial groups of the Latin America region. For instance, Carlos Monzon(Nationality: Argentinian), who's a Top 4 ATG Middleweight boxer, looks pretty racially American Indian. Ruben Olivares(Nationality: Mexican) who's another ATG boxer, looks like Indio-Mestizo(Someone who's racially mixed with White European to some degree but more predominantly American Indian).

    Carlos Monzon is native, he is the most dominant middleweight champion in boxing history, he has 1 more title defense than Hagler and never lost to a welterweight like Hagler.

    Julio Cesar Chavez looks pretty native to me, he was 89-0 and has the most championship fight wins in boxing history, far more than Mayweather or any American boxer for that.
