Greatest Mexican Figther Ever

[Soundtraveler]

Oscar wants to be Mexican sometimes, so does Fernando, but their parents snuck across the border long before they were born!

I would have to say it is a toss up between Salvador and Chavez.
Depending on if you want to go by long careers or not...

Chavez's prime was at light and junior welter. Top 5 all time in both divisions for sure. Oh, and he was NEVER cut in his prime. He had like a plastic face or something.

Anyway, my all time mexican p4p list goes like this:

1. Salvador Sanchez
1(t) Julio Cesar Chavez
3. Finito Lopez
4. Carlos Zarate
5. Marco Antonio Barrera
5(t) Eric Morales
7. Ruben "Púas" Olivares
8. Raúl "Ratón" Macías
9. Miguel Canto
10. Pipino Cuevas
11. Alfonso Zamora
12. Lupe Pintor
13. Chucho Castillo
14. Juan "Kid" Meza
15. Humberto "Chiquita" González

Other notables: Daniel Zaragoza, Juan Manuel Márquez, Miguel Angel González, José Luis Ramírez, Jorge "Maromero" Paez
11.

WE have about the same list Morancito...except I'd put Olivares and Canto maybe a step higher.

Not Olivares. The six boxers I have ahead of him are positively better, imo. Now with Canto you might have a case. Was tempted to move him up a spot or two, but Olivares and Macias are two of the most revered Mexican boxers of all time. That had a little to do with it.

Their still Mexicans, they should be included, I would make a list but I havent seen much (if any) of the old school

This might be true!.... as one writer (Angel Zurita) claimed that he was half-mexican.... is this true? Can anyone confirm this?

Dont let Duran hear you, he might go off

I say Roberto Duran in his prime he was a freak of nature.
