Rugged Louis Collazo still fights. Lou "Honey Boy" Del Valle last fought in July 2008, but appears near the end. Nelson Dieppa, Kermit “El Asesino” Cintron and Carlos “El Indio” Quintana are still factors as are Mario “Principe Ponce” Santiago(19-1-1), Manny Siaca, Cesar Ceda (16-0), undefeated Victor Fonseca (who won the vacant International Boxing Association bantamweight title in 200, Orlando Cruz (16-0-1), Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr (15-0),and Henry “El Nitro” Bruseles who has won six in a row since losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2005. Edgar “El Chamaco” Santana (24-3) shows promise but needs to get his personal life in order.

Carlos Ivan Velasquez (9-0) has potential as well. At the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games, he defeated Marlon Almagro of Venezuela. He the pulled off a monster upset pf highly touted Olympic champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in the semis and won Gold against Dominican Ronald de la Rosa).

Fres “Fast Fres" Oquendo, a great all-around athlete from Chicago via Puerto Rico, has come this close to reaching the top, but each time has been thwarted--whether by highly questionable decisions (against Toney and Holyfield), or late round collapses (Ruiz and Tua). Still, he remains a viable heavyweight
