Who is the greatest Mexican fighter of all time?

[stix]

Got to be Julio Cesar Chavez. Sanchez just wasn't around long enough.

Provided he could get them into the ring, Alfredo Zuany would've smoked every other Mexican fighter that has been mentioned so far in this thread, and with very little trouble.

o your talking about the stopage hahahaha thats the corners fault hahahaha VIVA MEXICO but yeah thats crazy 2 seconds to go and the fight is stopped

Not the referee's fault actually. The ref isn't concerned with the time left.

The guy that mows my lawn once said he used to be a pretty good fighter.

It was actually more like 6 to 7 seconds (when steel has his hands up waving the fight off).. start up a stop watch u'll see thats an eternity.

In fact... had Richard steel not counted to 9 (8 is what should have been counted to) and had only asked taylor ONCE if he was ok , then it would have been around 8 - 9 seconds to go had Steele let the fight go on.

Seems like to me Steele tried to give Taylor the chance but Taylor didnt answer him, didnt/couldnt take advantage of Steele's helping hand without looking like he gave him a break. what was he suspposed let him rest on the ropes for 6 or 7 more seconds?

Chavez was great but he stayed around too long, on the other hand Sanchez was not around long enough. Sanchez was a great fighter though that cannot be taken away, he beat Lopez, destroyed Wilfredo Gomez, who was a 3 to 1 favorite, and knocked out Azumah Nelson. You can argue it was only Nelson's 13th fight but that does not take away from the fact that he was a year older than Sanchez so he wasn't gonna decline any time soon. Sanchez did fight down to his opponents level on occasion but he was never upset once he got into his later stages. Chavez did have the better career though because of his continued dominance but if Sanchez would have been around longer his would have been greater. So greatest fighter Sanchez, Greatest career Chavez.
