Jofre was great, but he fought all but a handful of times in his native Brazil. Indeed, of his 74 fights, his only two losses happened in Japan. I would place "Finito" Lopez over him, and I don't think even Ricardo belongs in the top-five. With all due respect, De La Hoya appears the pick of a fan fairly new to the sport. And Rigondeaux was clearly thrown in as a joke.

Latino (/læˈtinoʊ/ or /ləˈtinoʊ/)[1] is a term used chiefly in the United States to refer to people of Latin American extraction or descent, though the term has also been incorrectly used as a synonym for Hispanic. Hispanic is a narrower term which only refers to persons of Spanish-speaking origin or ancestry, while "Latino" is more frequently used to refer more generally to anyone of Latin American origin or ancestry, including Brazilians.Comment

From Wikipedia:
Latino (/læˈtinoʊ/ or /ləˈtinoʊ/)[1] is a term used chiefly in the United States to refer to people of Latin American extraction or descent, though the term has also been incorrectly used as a synonym for Hispanic. Hispanic is a narrower term which only refers to persons of Spanish-speaking origin or ancestry, while "Latino" is more frequently used to refer more generally to anyone of Latin American origin or ancestry, including Brazilians.

The term Latino is wrong in describing everyone from "Latin America" but if you go by that definition, Brazilians are most definitely Latinos.
Hell, I'd say Filipinos are more "latino" than Brazilians.
