    Chavez Sr., Barrera and Morales, Sanchez are in the top 4, JCC has a strong argument for the #1 spot.

        Canelo doesn't cut off the ring anywhere near as good as Chavez could.

        U stoopid?
        - - Chavez was great before King started bilking him. Same with Tyson. U make stoopid look genius cubed.

        Canelo
        JCC Sr
        Sal
        MAB

          Hell yeah Chavez. And after seeing the McKinney fight, I used to love watching Barrerra. Being dominated by Pacquiao was probably also how a lot of us were introduced to him as well.

            - - 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.

            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.

                That looks about right. I will have to watch more of Olivares.

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