Probably bad lists but i tried my best just never been great with lists.

In my opinion the best Mexican fighter is Barrera over the last couple of weeks I have watched lots of his fights and there is just something about the guy he is awsome.Clever boxer with decent ounch and fast.

Diaz and Guerrero technically wouldn't be on the list, both born in America.

JMM
Israel
Rafa
Solis
Mijares
PDL
Montiel
Cazares
Margarito

Don't even bother Ouma, ICB feels that since they are of Mexican descent it is enough to consider them Mexican or so he considers them Mexican.

Born in the USA but still as Mexican as a bean. I was born in the USA as well but that doesn't take away the fact that I AM MEXICAN. Sure, the papers say my nationality is USA blah blah blah but if you see me, if you ask me, I am Mexican. Same thing for De La Hoya, Diaz, etc.

Oh! believe me Chino I got you and I know what you mean.
But If I'm making a list of the best Italian fighters because Joe is of Italian descent does that mean I can list him there?
No cause he's British and he was born in Britain.
Kostya for example was born in Russia but he is a nationalized Australian therefor hes listed amongst the best Australian fighters.

I was born in the US but was partially raised in Mexico and lived there for about 5 years. Then I was kicked out of school when they found out I was born in the US. I love Mexico and both of my parents are from Mexico and sometimes I do feel Mexican but I am not. To feel Mexican is one thing but the books say you are American and so Am I.

Yep spot on CC.

That doesn't make any sense though as far as where you rate them though.

If there not born in Mexico, and I'm pretty sure Guerrero has never even lived there at all either-Diaz at least has fought there some-then rating them as being Mexican makes no sense technically. If Diaz' son turns out to be a great fighter would he be one of the greatest Mexican fighters ever too?

Not a big deal just kind of strange reasoning to me, either way ODLH would have to be on the list then right? Surely he's a better fighter than Guerrero.

Honors for Montiel, but not Gonzalez? Surely his wins over Johnson, Sor Vorapin, Montiel count for something, his only recent losses
are to Vazquez (knocked down Israel twice) and Penalosa (he just got caught) Who else has knocked down Israel?

ICB, I'm gonna be honest with you about something here this is one of the most absurd and ridiculous parts of a post I have ever seen and I've seen some ridiculous ones.

"All I know is that there Mexican"
Juan Diaz was born in Texas that's in the United States of America that by law makes him American unless he nationalizes himself by another country.

"I couldn't careless where they are born they are still Mexican"
Well you have to care where they are born cause your listing 'Mexican Fighters' in order for them to be on the list they need to have been born in Mexico. THEY WERE BORN IN THE U.S. and THEIR PARENTS WERE BORN IN MEXICO. I'm starting to think I must be typing in Japanese here or something.
Can somebody confirm or deny this for me?
