Best puncher from Mexico?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

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.

Thanks, yeah i agree he didnt have much of a top notch career, but recently he is one of the hardest mexican punchers i have seen in the past 20 years or so

Carlos Zarate to me is the #1 puncher from Mexico, but that is definitely up for debate.

"Rock a bye" Rubin "El Púas" Olivares was one of my favorites.

To me Sanchez and Marquez could punch but I would not consider them punchers.

And I was present for two of Jose Luis Lopez's fights, the first when he went toe to toe with Yori boy Campas and the other when he retired on his stool in Guanajuato, Mexico (I had a boxer fighting on the same card) too bad all Lopez liked to do was smoke weed, snort coke and surf because he could punch and had a great chin.

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

See bold red above.

I struggle with picking Zarate Or Cuevas great list though with proud nation full of talent

I would say pipino he had scary power.

Chavez Sr without a doubt

Chavez for sure, good body puncher, accurate and a real warrior. Sounds like I need to check out a Carlos Zarate career set too though.

I agree Zarate was a beast, I have it him or Cueves...

Olivares was a great fighter, one of my all time favourite nicknames also!!
