I particularly liked the record of Carlos Zarate when it stood at near 50 fights (I can't remember the exact number), all wins, and all by KO's!!! until the streak was broken when he lost to Wilfredo Gomez (another great fighter), moving up in weight.
He beat a PRIME Azumah Nelson, I don't think anyone MAB has beaten was on that levelQuote:

Then 22 days, that all seemed rather redundant...
It was a tragedy what happened to Sanchez, but it is nearly 24 years on, you have try and look at his career without sentiment. And if you do, you see an amazing talent, who was brilliant one night, and rather so so the next.
I don't know enough history to say that MAB was the greatest mexican fighter ever, however
I do know he fought everyone worthwhile at every opportunity and always made for an exciting
fight, even when he lost.
I would have to say that its either between Chavez or Lopez
Chavez for his sheer dominance and Lopez for his unparalled skills
Jorge Paez was not in my era of boxing so i have never seen any of his fights. Do ya thing he is one of the top fighters? or honorable mention? 74 wins is great
Before drugs Rubin Olivaris was one of the best fighters Ive seen He was special. Iremember Bobby Neil Alan Rudkins Manager telling me a tale, when he went to see him spar in Cali before the fight with Rudkin.Rubin reconised Bobby and said you come to see Bobby said yes,Bobby said Scrap he was sparring with the World Lightweight champ 2nd round He KOd him he was out cold,He walked over to the ropes,looked down at me and said you seen enough. Bobby said seen enough.Scrap I was shitting myself, what a fighter
Personally...I think that it does boil down to JCC...but I just aint down with JCC's style.
I'm pretty fond of Barrera & Morales though.
Barrera is def the greatest of our gen.
There have been many great Mexican fighters but Sanchez is in a league of his own, and is the best boxer I have ever see. He's as good as Marcianio, Ali, and Leonard who are the others I think are the greatest o9f all time. It's hard to split them. Barrera is excellent but Pacquio hammered him stupid, and he's dodged Scott Harrison for years now.
