what about JMM i think he is better than antonio margarito

jeah I got to agree that list is missing jmm, arguably with better management he could have been as great as mab and em, and some would say he is either way.

You're really a smart fisherman Mr. Spi... You can always catch what I'm up to...

BTW JCC Sr. is considered the greatest Mexican fighter...

That further pushed JMM to no. 7 ...

He's nowhere seen among the top 5 ... Or maybe JMM not really considered that a great fighter in Mexico because he's not employing the Mexican aggresive, offensive, brawling style of boxing...

Thats silly logic because Ricardo Lopez wasn't brawler and was a master boxer, and yet he is number 1 i just don't think its a thought out list.

The fact that boxing writers can come up a list like this only supports the general sentiment that JMM is not really considered that great in Mexico...

JMM is not even included in this poll options...

Well when i think mexican i think race so greatest mexican for me is Oscar.

**Julius Rain** · 09-22-2008 01:26 AM

would say salvador but I would go with Lopez cause Ricardo had a long career and displayed his masterpiece consistently. As for sanchez he did have a great short career but since he did get hit more then he should, anything could of happen if he had lived longer. We will never know, K.O's do happen to anybody even to Roy Jones.

Sanchez is the first that comes up to my mind then Chavez.. Sanchez had a short but very meaningful career. That's my opinion though. I notice the name Juan Manuel Marquez is not in the list? I consider him one of the best to his contemporaries. He is still in the process of rewriting mexican boxing history and he might turn out to be best who knows. As for Oscar, yeah i see him as mexican but he act and breath now like an american.
