Just comparing Mexico to Cuba, I'll put my two cents in. Cuba tends to dominate Mexico every year in at least one sport, boxing. That's because Cuba doesn't let their fighters turn professional even when they're no longer in the age range that amateur boxers traditionally represent, which means that they are essentially pitting men who should be elite professionals against basically kids who don't have nearly as much experience. Plus most top Mexican boxers turn pro when they're 15 or 16 which limits the field. So that explains why Cuba dominates them in boxing.
As for other sports, I think that Mexico just has much less of an emphasis on amateur sports programs than other countries. I don't have facts to support this, it just feels that way. Maybe you can answer this in more detail with concrete facts?
