          Jofre was from Brazil, where they speak Portugese rather than Spanish. So he can't really qualify as a Hispanic fighter.

            Duran is tops for me, with Monzon closely behind. Jose Luis was good too.

                not necessarily. i know there are arguments all the time about this, but doesn't hispanic derive from the word hispania which was the roman name for the iberia peninsula?

                  Portuguese, Spanish... same difference.

                    I did some research and that showed that Portuguese is indeed Hispanic. So if that's the case I'd rate Jofre #1.

                      Duran is unrivaled at #1.

                      I don't recall any other consensus Top 10 ATG Hispanic fighters.
