      Carlos Palomino, Jorge Vaca...wouldn't call him exactly great, but he was a top ww of his time.

          Kid Azteca, Pipino Cuevas, Carlos Palomino, and Oscar De la Hoya is arguably top 30 at WW, which is a very loaded division throughout history.

            You still believe that Khan/McCloskey was a better fight than Maidana/Morales?

              Also don't forget one of my faves, Jose Luis MAESTRITO Lopez! Shame about his comeback, has he retired already? He should. He was so explosive in his peak, but sometimes was just too lazy when he coulda won.

                Going into yes, on paper yes. Looking back in hindsight, no. But, I don't rank neither Maidana nor Morales ahead on Khan at JWW.

                And, the Maidana-Morales fight just shows how overrated JWW division is as a whole.

                I still think Pac-Mosley is garbage if it turns out to be FOTY. It will be garbage and just show how overrated Pac was.

                that's all.

                  I've got him between 15-20.

                  Pastrano is in this thread and if he see's his post he is going to go bananas

                    He was born in Cuba and fought out of Mexico.
