    Could Bam Rodriguez become the best Mexican of all time?

    Bam has had some tremendous wins. Estrada, Wangek, Cuadras, and beat the career out of Sunny Edwards. A mega fight with Inoue lies ahead, which will be significant.

    Mexico's current Mount Rushmore is -

    1. Manny Pacquiao
    2. Juan Manuel Marquez
    3. Canelo
    4. Salvadore Sanchez

    Pacquiao was the Face of boxing (joint with TBE Mayweather) for many years, and later also became the President of Mexico, and almost won the World Championship again in a recent comeback draw. Overcoming Pacquiao as the number 1 pride of Mexico will be tough, and Nash sees him taking 2nd on this list at some point in time. Nash out - His Majesty

    He is young enough and skilled enough to be one of the greats if he continues the same path he is on. But like always he needs that level of competition to be there for him, it takes other great fighters to get him there.

      Definitely. Sometimes great fighters are unfortunate that they don't have great opponents in and around their weight divisions to make legends of themselves. Bam has beat some greats at the end of their career, but they were still excellent when he beat them, but fights like Inoue, and similar big fights as years go by are needed. Nash out - His Majesty

        Considering he's from Texas it doesn't seem extremely likely.

          He has Mexican grandparents. He is Mexican to Nash. We need a new Mexican star, not some guy from Texas. The President of Mexico Manny Pacquiao would agree with Nash on this. Mexican boxers are very important to the overall landscape of Boxing. Nash out - His Majesty

            Would say Jesse Rodriguez is in more on a discussion with prominent American boxers of Mexican heritage. Manuel Ortiz, Genaro Hernandez, Danny Lopez, Bobby Chacon, Orlando Canizales, Michael Carbajal, Johnny Tapia, Diego Corrales, Oscar De La Hoya and Mikey Garcia. Along with David Benavidez, Bam might have a top spot once his career is finished.
