[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

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

hook it up man.

[LS-Injection]

Yeah that would be good!

[phallus]

hook it up man.

if i remember, next time will have a look for that cd and bring the ****

[JOM'S]

whoa almost got riled up when I dont saw the 3Ms on the list specially Erik ... so no active figthers on the list ...

aside from the 3Ms who do you guys think will crash in the top 20?

Maybe Castillo?

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.

hahaha not quite...matter of fact, once retired, there seems to be no question that both will definately be on the next list. This is quote-unquote what the mag. says about it:

"The criterion: Only Mexican nationals are included. No Mexican-American or faux-Mexicans. If you werent born in Mexico, you dont make the list, so guys like Jose Napoles, who adopted Mexico as his country even though he was Cuban, doesnt make the cut. Conversely, Carlos Palomino, who was born in Mexico but lived and fought primarily in the U.S., does.
Next, no active fighters are included (we are considering Julio Cesar Chavez' most recent retirement final). YOU WONT FIND MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA HERE OR ERIK MORALES OR THE MARQUEZ BROTHERS. If a guy hasnt retired yet we cant view his career and the business he got done in the proper context. DONT CRY FOR THOSE GUYS, THOUGH; SOME DAY SOMEONE WILL DO THIS AGAIN AND THEY'LL MAKE THAT LIST.
Lastly, the fighters were rated and ranked according to their scores in several categories: longevity, winning percentage, big-fight performance, quality of opposition, and activity level. Or, in other words, how well they sustained a high level of performance over a long period of time. Thats the mark of greatness: sustained excellence."

This is easily the best Boxing 200? Mag. I've recieved...before the list is given, there is very high praise to the Mexican fight fan and their unbeatable knowledge of the sport, etc. This mag. is thicker than the usual, and is full of great articles, etc. I would very much recommend getting it if you can.

Sounds like a good read i might have to get my hands on it.

lupe pintor was a big puncher, i'll never forget seeing him beat johnny " the matchstick man" owens to death, i think i have the clip somewhere

they mention that particular fight in the section on him, saying he dies 2 mo's later due to brain injuries from the fight

[PBDS]

....Sanchez should be higher than #5 IMO. He did enough before his passing to warrant it.

add to all that, theres coverage on the upcoming fights...Mosely-Vargas, Lacy-Calzaghe (head to head type article..listing both weak and strong points) and a very fair article on the Marquez bro's and the promotional problems they've had. Great stuff!

I was floored to not see him directly below Chavez.
