Juan Manuel Marquez is the best boxer fighting right now out of mexico. Hes #3 or #4 P4P in the world depending on who you ask and he has better technique and a boxing brain that operates much faster than any of the other names you had up there in your poll, which surprised me that you would ask who is the best mexican boxer and forget to actually put the best boxer of mexico on there.
Best Mexican Boxer?

Best Boxer Today? Juan Manuel Marquez
He is one of the best active boxers out there, a caliber of a P4P fighter. If anything, after his loss to Duckweather in 2009 he won his matches twice against Juan Diaz and then Michael Katsidis.
Best Natural Talent?: Saul Canelo (kid has potential, this coming from a hater)
Honestly, the kid is improving and I respect his winnings. I'm still not sold on him. His belt was won through deception making a Welterweight with no power climb to Junior Middleweight and disrespecting him coming in overweight. Still, he is improving.
Biggest Mexican Fraud?: JCC Jr.
Honestly, he won his belt controversially. I think the boxer he beat won the match due to the amount of clean shots he gave JJC Jr.'s face. And I don't see any improvement. He boxes like a mentally handicapped person unable to produce fluidity while fighting. He fights erratically and has no combinations/techniques whatsoever to show for. He trains with Freddie Roach but it seems he isn't learning anything. I also think Freddie Roach owes his stature due to Pacquiao a lot.
Most Exciting?: Giovanni Segura, what can I say? He fought in enemy territory and knocked out the undefeated Puerto Rican boxer in his hometown. And he once again knocked him out in Mexico leaving no doubt who is the better fighter. I like him. He has a lot of flaws but he makes up for it with shear will and power which makes him an entertaining fighter because you get the sense/feeling that he is always fighting behind and down in the scorecards and he makes it up by trying to knockout his opponents every round.
Biggest Heart?: Orlando Salido, another road warrior and labeled as a journeyman. Counted out before the bell rings. He was once one of the top boxers in the lower weight divisions listed high in Top 10 among the alphabet soup organizations. Until he lost to better fighters during title matches or title eliminator fights. Still, he went there in Puerto Rico against all odds and won the fight against Juan Manuel Lopez. He embodies what every aged and road warrior boxers out there want and that is to win a title against all odds. Although young, he is George Foreman and Bernard Hopkins personified that the thinking of never giving up must take precedence.
That is what I think about Mexican fighters.Last edited by jjbj2; 07-05-2011, 12:26 PM.Comment
