Nice read,nice list.
If you are not going to read it(I recommend you see the their more in depth list),it reads:
5. MAB
4. Salvado Sanchez
3. Erik Morales
2. Ricardo Lopez
1. JCC
What would your top 5 look like? Surely they should have Rocky Juarez on the list? ???
Not in any order
JCC
Salvador Sanchez
Ruben Olivares
Ricardo Lopez
Carlos Zarate
Honourable Mentions
Erik Morales
MAB
In no order
MAB
Morales
JCC
Zaragoza
Sanchez
Morales baby! :) Number ONE!!!! Whoo - Hooo!!!!! Yeahh!!!!!!!!!
Zarate had an awesome awesome record but what were his biggest fights?Probably Pintor and Gomez,he lost both. I don't know much about Batista or Zamora,who were both unbeaten when Zarate beat them. He was good,awesome power but not as good as the rest imo.
Good call on Olivares.
No list is complete without Lopez.Quote:

Maybe your right Gamo but i love Zarate as fighter had to put him in there will be interesting when CutMeMick sees this thread he knows alot about Mexican boxers his list will be interesting.Quote:

The Morales-Barrera debates is one of those great boxing debates that doesn't have a right or wrong answer.
Of course, if Barrera pulls off an unbelievable upset over Pacquiao, that all changes...
1) Salvador Sanchez
2) Ruben Olivares
3) Julio Cesar Chavez
4) Ricardo Lopez
5) Carlos Zarate
Zaragoza was a good fighter. But I wouldn't call him great. There are several Mexican fighters I would include before ZaragozaQuote:

Jose Luis Ramirez
Miguel Angel Gonzalez
Manuel Medina
Jorge Paez
And those are just a few I can think of
Zaragoza was in my top 10, along with Saldivar they were close but just missed out.Quote:

I'm only going with fighters I've seen, so 1980 to present....
1. JC Chavez
2. Erik Morales
3. Salvador Sanchez
4. Ricardo Lopez
5. Marco Antonio Barerra
this is my list which is the best and accurate list ofcourse ;)
1)JCc
2)
a.Eric-
b.Mab
3)Lopez
4)JMM
5)Rafa-IsreaL
I have eric and marco 2a and 2b because they are nearly identical, but I have to give a slight edge to eric because he knock out a guy who own marco twice(junior jones) then he u.d a guy who slaughtered marco(pacquioa)
I have Rafeal and Isreal tied at 5th because they are 1-1 at this moment. After the trilogy I believe Isreal is going to show the world how great he is young age of 28.
JCC and Lopez is self-explainatory
Jmm at 4th because his like a combination of eric and marco but lacks the dominant brawler eric and marco can switch gear to.
Can never get tired of doing a list... Right BIG H? ;)
Heres my top Mexican Fighters:
1. JCC
2. 'Finito' Lopez
3. Olivares
4. Sanchez
5. Roman
6. Erik
7. Marco
8. Pintor
9. Zarate
10. Zaragoza
