At one time, his father was considered, pound for pound, the best boxer in the world. I am surprised he never got citizenship.

Perhaps he was happy being a Mexican citizen. Many Mexicans are, especially if they are well-off like him. It's a myth that EVERYONE wants to be an American. Some people are content to stay where they are if they are otherwise happy there.

True, but I would think a professional boxer, who would will be spending a lot of time in the U.S. would want it.

Also, Mexico is a dangerous country. Now that there is duel citizenship, it's always nice to have an escape.
