Huh? Chavez became a major attraction under Don King. Especially once Mike Tyson went downhill.
Canelo doesn't cut off the ring anywhere near as good as Chavez could.
U stoopid?
Canelo
JCC Sr
Sal

Besides Chavez, I'd put Barrera, Morales, and Oliver's ahead of Canelo, and possibly Marquez.

- - Gonna add Ruben Olivera as #5 as the inviolate top Mexican fighters. The rest can form a scrum for their rankings.
And a special mention of Sal who at age 23 sports a better title record than his contemporary Leonard who was just winning his first title at the same age. Tragic career end as befalls many of our greatest heros.
Canelo
JCC Sr
Sal
MAB
Olivera
When I was taking Spanish as part of my mandatory degree requirements in College, our handbook that I still have had an extensive profile of Ruben then mid 20s in his prime by mentioning he might be the best fighter ever and he was certainly dominant until all the girls, liquor, and drugs finished him off.

It is the mark of a neophyte to choose anyone but Chavez for this distinction. He is #1 by quite a good margin.
