In my eyes a very underrated fighter, hes usually not mentioned among Mexican greats nor among the best southpaws of all time, despite being both. Interesting boxing style as well, that combined a sort of brawling mindframe with clever counter shots to the head and body.

One of my favourite boxers of all time, love all his fights especially his trilogy with Winstone.

Skill wise he's a top 3 southpaw with Pea and Hagler imo (May be some bias), the best boxer I've seen at parrying and he could mix it up brilliantly, definitely under rated and as you said he rarely gets mentioned among the Mexican greats when imo he is in the top 4.

Glad you did your write up on him , enjoy reading your articles.

Possibly one of the ten greatest Mexican boxers ever, which I consider very high praise.

The OP said it all;

One of the all time great Mexican fighters and one of the all time great Southpaws.

Great, underrated fighter.

honestly, that seems like an understatement.

I find it hard to keep him out of the top 5...

I don't know if I would have him top-5, really. It's a very deep pool, discussing Mexico's finest. I do agree he is one of the true greats at the elite level in the country's history, though --- the likes of Barrera, Morales & Marquez are a notch below this, but will probably forever garner much more praise & attention, sadly.

I can only put Sanchez, Chavez, and Olivares above him. maybe Lopez as well, but thats it. and thats top 5. who else has an argument? You could say Zarate, but I flat out just couldnt agree with that.

very underrated he beat other underrated fighters like ismael laguna, howard winstone, jose legra, Johnny famechon,and sugar ramos. I wish he would have been when he fought eder jofre

Barrera and Morales will garner more praise and attention because they had many many career defining wins. Saldivar doesn't have that.

The general recognized top 5 Mexican boxers of all time are:

Chavez(obvious #1 the rest isn't in any order)
Lopez
Barrera
Morales
Sanchez

I think that is right.

Go away. From thread-to-thread, you are a waste of everyones time, including your own.
