Was there a Mexican slick technician ever

[Idunnoshet]

Judging by the skinny fit frames, the only PEDS mexicans used was nose candy. We can only imagine how much greater the legends we do have would have been if they decided to cheat when it actually mattered and not and the finish line of some of there careers.


edit: I personally hate de la hoya , but yall musta forget. He was talented.whitaker,toney,mayweather,jones are all DOCUMENTED ped cheats.

Damn ... I didn't know Mayweather was a DOCUMENTED PED cheat ???

I know there was many great Orthodox mexican Boxers(Cotto is from PR) i was asking about talents like RJJ and Parnell unOrthodox fighters with great upperbody movement,and footwork ,shoulder roll like FMJ or Toney,they all was great but its not what i mean.how JMM or morales are slick?

Miguel Canto is the best example. One of the best defensive boxers of all time.

[BM dnobagaV]

Morales comes to mind....
Barrera as well...

[DJ Enerate]

Sal Sanchez was a special talent.



Chavez was amazing. ATG offence with a great defence.

[soul_survivor]

I think op means guys with hands down, quick reflex styles.

There has never been a Mexican fighter like that.

In the US, that style was popularised by Ali and be under no illusion, every black fighter in the US since has wanted to be the next Ali.

Comparing America to Latin America is far more comparable. As for Latinos on a whole they have tons of slicksters Happy Lora, Wilfredo Gomez, Locche, Zapata, Laguna, Marcel, Miguel Canto, Pascual Perez, Gregorio Peralta list goes on and on.

Floyd can only dream of having defensive skills like Happy did. The Latin Pernell

Check out flyweight champ Miguel canto

Early jmm fights

Salvador Sanchez

[richardt]

Sanchez was pure excellence. He is Roy Jones' all time favorite fighter.

Marquez has a very Black style. That's why he was never loved in Mexico. Barrera and Morales were much more embraced as is Canelo now.
