Sorry Scrap, I have this habbit of refercing fighters nicknames and not their full names. I also often use abbr. as to not type a long name...

Anyway their birth names are both Carlos Hernandez.
One is from El Salvador and his nickname is "Famoso" he is more known for his fights vs. Morales, PBF and Genaro Hernandez.

The other is a Venezuelan great whos nickname is "Morocho" he is more known for his fights vs. Lane (RIP), Perkins, Joe Brown, Napoles, Laguna, & Locche.

I would say Henry Armstrong.

But from reading your post it sounds to me like your trying to be more descriptive about it but don't know how to do it.

I take it your reffering to the ONLY other "Latino" 4 div. champ in history.

He's not in the hall of fame.
He fought top opposition. Fighters like: Myung Woo Yuh x2, Yong Kang Kim, Saeng Ploenchit, Sornpichai Kratingdaenggym, Todaka, Kobayashi, Bredahl, Sidorenko.
He accomplished in Latino history something that ONLY Roberto Duran has accomplished.

Is that him Spicoli?
