Who is the greatest Mexican fighter of all time?

JCC Imo.

Sanchez sadly died before he was ever in his prime. What was he 23 - 24 or something like that.

Chava was 23 when he died.
It's crazy cause there's a Japanese fighter by the name of Masao Ohba who's life is "strangely" very much a like Sanchez. Both brilliant fighters at a early age, both champs and just 23 and already beating top opposition, they both died at the same age and the same way. In a car accident.
Masao Ohba

Not sure if you ever read this or not but anyway here it is...

Good post CMM some rep for you. One thing though! Who do you think would have won between Sanchez and Pedroza Prime vs prime?

JMM ahead of Morales and Barrera? Really.

Yes sirrrr...
Titles
Opposition
Longevity
Skills

I just feel he is that much better than them...

No love for Zarate? C'mon people!

See below... (This comment was made back in 2008 and as I learn more about boxers my thoughts and opinions may change)

I have Zarate somewhere between 11-20.
Not really sure where.
I just feel that his career at championship level aside from the Zamora unification bout (which a lot of people don't know it was) was a bit short compared to others with longevity. Tho his opposition is as good as it could be so there's a plus side...

[outspoken]

Titofan is mad Trinidad is not on the list and calls this list a joke.

JMM for me is the greatest. Great technically, power , speed , longevity fight the young guys ( Bradley, Diaz , Katsidis, Alvarado) and KOd one of the biggest starts of the era. JMM #1 Mexican boxer ever.

Toss up between JMM and JCC IMO.

Would probably have been Salvador Sanchez had he not died so young.
