Philippines

3. Elorde
4. Little Dado
5. Villaflor
On the USA that is certainly a respectable list. There are about 8 guys with good arguments for the top five and you got five of them.

On Mexico there is a flagrant miss and that is Ruben Olivares who, in my view cannot be lower than #2 and may be number 1. I think Morales may have a claim. But again the exclusing on Olivares is the only obvious flaw.

On PR one could quibble with the order and I think one could replace Cotto with Camacho or Jose Torres and have as good a list, but overall pretty good.

On the Phillipines I think one could arguably replace Dado and Villaflor with Montana or Cefarino or Espinsoa and have as good a list. But again, these are quibbles.

All in all I think you've done good work here.
