Why write an article about Zarate when talking about the best mexican fighters, there are several active fighters today who will go down as far superior fighters then he was. Zarate may have been very good I honestly can't say Ive seen much of him, I saw Gomez whip him but that's about it.. Seriously though, he never beat anything close to an elite fighter... As far as Im concerned he has a seriously padded record, check it out... Even when he was WBC champ he was defending against guys who had either fought noone or lost to anyone they had fought.
