    Who is currently the flagship of Mexican boxing?

    I mean which Mexican fighter represents Mexican boxing and all its values in the best possible way? I'm talking about pride, heart, style, machismo, etc. I think it's a reasonable question, since Morales, Barrera, Marquez (I think we can say he's retired basically) left boxing. Who is the guy they pass the torch to?

    I would say Francisco Vargas, although he's far from being the best fighter skillwise he embodies the Mexican school of boxing. Aggressive, dishes out and takes massive punishment, strong and has a massive heart. The whole failed drug test scandal is simply following Morales' footsteps as well.

    Skill wise I think Estrada is leaps and bounds above everyone. Although his style is aggressive, it isn't what many enthusiast would label as a true "Mexican style".
