K.O. Magazine's "20 Greatest Mexican Fighters" List

[GunStar]

Jose Luis Castillo is a guy who by a majority of expert accounts holds a win over the unbeatable Floyd Mayweather Jr....plus wins over many other outstanding fighters.

His torrid pace in the last 5 years is second to none...if Castillo finds a way to become the man at 140 which is certainly possible where does he rank?

I might be a biased JLC guy but lets just say it would be pretty ****ing high!

Some of the experts, not the majority. Castillo lost both fights, give it up you Castillo fans. Think whatever you want, PBF won the fight & anyone that sees the fight without biased HBO crew will tell you that PBF won the first fight with one hand.

K.O.'s sister magazine "Boxing 2006" just came in the mail today, and in it is a list thats very interesting..thought I'd share it with those that dont get that mag.

There are quite a few kats missing from this list IMO.... Dinamita, El Terrible, and the Baby Faced Assassin are the most glaring...but I would also make a case for "El Raton" to be somewhere on the list....I would also place Pepino and el Finito a bit higher....but that's just me...
