Luis Ramon " Yori Boy " Campas is a legendary Mexican veteran with a record of 90 Wins, 10 Losses, and 72 K.O.'s... I recently observed Campas notch his 100th fight and 90th victory against the game journeyman, Norberto Bravo, in a decent 10 Round bout... and I got to thinking... Why is Campas virtually unmentioned in discussions of very good-to-great boxers in history???... The man had accumalated a record of 56-0 going into his 1994 bout with Felix Trinidad... I do realize that he failed when matched with the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Fernando Vargas, and Felix Trinidad, but he was and still is an extremely solid and gritty fighter who deserves his do credit... What are your opinions on Campas and his legacy???...:boxing:

Campas was a very good fighter, solid fighter as said. He could fight with anyone -not that he'd com out the winner- but he would give them a fight.
I don't know where he ranks but i belive he will be remembered.
Another fighter that i think of where he ranks is Manuel "Matecas" Medina. The guy is ageless.
manuel medina is a level above campas in terms of legacy
medina actually accomplished a decent amount in boxing
he had 5 straight title defenses. then a few years later he held the title again for a bit . then a few years after that again he had the title. He beat Scott Harrison who imo was the most overrated boxer at that time. He also had a nice win over kevin kelley
