So many of them fought long ago, and some careers ended early because of premature death, etc. If you guys have any questions (that the mag. may possibly answer) just post them and I'll answer them in the morning )

I know...I dont understand why morales, barrera and many others arent listed, but I've not read the entire article either...it's huge. But, I was, for the moment anyway (til I have more time) glancing thru the mag. the way I do every time a new one comes in and saw that list...naturally I thought 'gotta share this with the boys'. I know these things arent available in alot of Europe, and alot of the posters here dont get any of them either. Thought it would be interesting...I'll read the thing fully tonight once my kid is asleep and hopefully I'll find all of this out. I'll do my best, anyway. It's in the April issue (display til April) with jermain taylor on the cover. check the stores..it should be there soon. those that get them by mail are SUPPOSED (cant swear to it) get them before they hit the stands.

Wow do u have the whole fight??

[VERSION1 (V1)]

the criterion: only mexican nationals are included no mexican americans or faux-mexicans next no active fighters that why you won't see JMM, EM, MAB

no just clips on a cd somewhere...it's also shown on faces of death - had that too but the VCR ate my tapes

Barrera and Morales are not on the list because they were sadly beaten by a one-trick pony and a one-dimensional bum in Manny Pacquiao.
