Best puncher from Mexico?

[Flo_Raiden]

We've had many Mexican boxers that had great punching power/technique. Out of these fighters who do you think was the best puncher overall?

Julio Cesar Chavez
Ruben Olivares
Ricardo Lopez
Salvador Sanchez
Pipino Cuevas
Carlos Zarate
Alfonso Zamora
Humberto Gonzalez
Jose Luis Ramirez
Vicente Saldivar
Juan Manuel Marquez

Probably Pipino. The guy was a wrecking machine with that left hook of his. When you were able to take it away though, he went from HOF level puncher, to one dimensional brawler. Still, that hook was a game changer for just about all who couldn't take it away. Hard to say with any certainty when you also have Zarate, Zamora and Olivares on the list.

I'm guessing we're talking about power punchers?

From a purely technical punch perspective as well as power, Marquez and Lopez are right up there too. Both had excellent, and usually very underrated, power in both hands. Both have a lot of really top notch combination KOs and one punch KOs considering they're both mostly thought of as more cautious minded counter punchers than most of the others.

All from that list are excellent punchers though. Some incredibly good punchers.

However, I think I'd rate them as:
Pipino
Zarate
Olivares
Zamora

Hard to separate them.

If you factor in power and technique, then I'd go with Zarate. Cuevas and Zamora probably had the heaviest hands on that list.

Definitely Pipino Cuevas.

I'll go with the only guy to ever stop Azumah Nelson... Salvador Sanchez.

Never thought anyone would ever consider Sanchez a puncher.

maybe not the hardest puncher, but what was the late 90s welter,, jose luis ???? he held a belt briefly i believe,, he fought james page,,,

Cant remember his exact name, but he could punch pretty hard

Jose Luis Lopez. He was a very hard puncher, but his prime was way too short to be compared to the other talent listed here.
