[MANGLER]

JCC is the man.

This is a easy one.Whatever mexican or puerto rican who runs across the border or floats here is the best everything of all time.

I think it's pick 'em between Salvador Sanchez and Carlos Zarate. My heart would love to pick Rueban Olivares but my head is over-ruling it!

Looking at the poll tells me most people posting in the poll haven't seen Salvador Sanchez fight.

Julio Cesar, he faced the toughest competiton

You never heard the others on the list cry after fights and quit like Chavez did or needed Kings help to win a bogus 2nd Randall fight that is when Chavez lost my respect crying a waiting till Randall was faded so he could beat him. A Mexican Fighter is supposed to be Warrior and take on all comers which he did for years then when he lost it ,notice how he waited years to give Meldrick Taylor a rematch after he was shot. Number 1 can't have gift decisions and ***** moves on his resume.

Barrera should be on that list as a choice. I think he comes close to Sanchez and the crew. When they look back, they will say he was awesome and fought everyone he had to. I voted for Chavez because he edges it slightly, but Barrera is high on that list and a possible top 5.

I agree. There's no denying Barrera's an ATG who should be mention among the very best.

I'd have to agree with you. If you check out the thread asking about posters' ages I think you find out why: Most of the posters are 20 somethings who weren't born when Sanchez fought.

Sanchez did not have the career Chavez did. obviously thats not his fault, but Chavez ruled divisions for years and beat multiple world champs.

had Salvador not gotten into that crash, I have no doubt at all that he would have been the greatest Mexican fighter of all time. Hell, he could have ended up being the best fighter of all time at the rate he was going.

the fact that he beat Azuham Nelson, Juan LaPorte, Wilfredo Gomez, Ruben Castillo and Danny Lopez x2 in less than 3 years is really just legendary. and he was only 23 when he died...I mean cmon, 23...usually its a good sign if a fighter wins his first world title that early. I think he would have been on his way out at around 30 considering the fights he was in and the competition he was facing, but that would have been 7 years.

He really had the potential to be the best fighter of all time. very sad.
