'A Good West-Coast Kid'

Interview from 1976

> Felipe, when did you first get ranked in the Top 10 >

Right after I stopped {TKO 6} Bobby Valdez.

In the February 1969 Ratings, Ring Magazine listed me as their #10 Featherweight.
But, I wasn't really a Featherweight, as I couldn't make 126 lbs. anymore.

The WBA listed me as their #10 Featherweight, and the WBC listed me as
the #10 Super-Featherweight.

I was most comfortable at around 132 lbs.
