In Mexico, boxing is considered a major sport. Mexico ranks second worldwide between countries with the most boxing world champions. [1]
Boxing is a particular means of demonstrating rivalry not only between fans of individual boxers, but also between native-born Mexicans, between Mexicans and people of other nations. [2]
This compendium uses the same parameters used by the Mexico Boxing Commission to classify champions. Minor, regular and interim titlists are not included.
