Top 25 Mexican-American Fighters Ever

[marbleheadmaui]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

I think you got most of the right names. I'd argue Carlos Palomino belongs even though born in Mexico. He moved to the US as a toddler IIRC. Isn't the same true of the Ruelas' Brothers? If Margarito is excluded, shouldn't these guys be included? But, your list, your criteria.

Here are some that would be on my list. Oscar Alborado (154 strapholder), Raul Marquez (154 strapholder), Ernie Lopez was a tremendous welter and fought for the undisputed crown twice, Jaime Garza (122 strapholder), how about Tony Ayala Junior?, Hell Mike Ayala was far more accomplished than Victor Ortiz.

But again, my compliments. Our debate would be over the last 7-8 names out of 25.

The bad news is you have the order screwed up in my view. The first two are too high, as is Tony Lopez while Art Aragon, Manuel Ortiz, Mando Ramos are too low. I'd move some other guys around too. A valiant effort though.

I'd love to talk more, but I'll be busy fucking myself for a while now.
