MAB:greatest Mexican fight ever?

[Scrap]

I Looked at the list and thought youd got it arse about face.Then I saw the numbers and realised I had.Thats a very good List

[pacfan]

I particularly liked the record of Carlos Zarate when it stood at near 50 fights (I can't remember the exact number), all wins, and all by KO's!!! until the streak was broken when he lost to Wilfredo Gomez (another great fighter), moving up in weight.

Julio Cesar Chavez and Salvador Sanchez have to be ahead of Barrera

What the heck is going on today?! Usually I think your opinions suck ass but today,that's twice I agree with you.What about EM?

why Salvador? He is a mystery so Barerra would be ahead of him because we've seen how great Barerra can be, we never got to see how good Salvador could or would be.

He beat a PRIME Azumah Nelson, I don't think anyone MAB has beaten was on that level

Julio accomplished what Sanchez would have...both are far better than MAB..

He may have beat a Prime Azumah Nelson but he never built a legacy. everything is speculation with him, we know Barerra's legacy but we do not know what Sanchez's could have been, we only speculate, and speculation isn't enough to put him ahead of barerra who has already written his legacy imo.

LOL, it could be argued Nelson did not peak for another ten years or so!!!

The Nelson, Sanchez beat, was a 13 fight novice, who was comming in as a substitute opponent, and yet he gave Sanchez hell, and Salvador was given a right panning for his performance by the boxing press.

Then 22 days, that all seemed rather redundant...

It was a tragedy what happened to Sanchez, but it is nearly 24 years on, you have try and look at his career without sentiment. And if you do, you see an amazing talent, who was brilliant one night, and rather so so the next.

I don't know enough history to say that MAB was the greatest mexican fighter ever, however
I do know he fought everyone worthwhile at every opportunity and always made for an exciting
fight, even when he lost.

[Mad_Dog]

I would have to say that its either between Chavez or Lopez

Chavez for his sheer dominance and Lopez for his unparalled skills

[TaxanBaller]

Jorge Paez was not in my era of boxing so i have never seen any of his fights. Do ya thing he is one of the top fighters? or honorable mention? 74 wins is great

Before drugs Rubin Olivaris was one of the best fighters Ive seen He was special. Iremember Bobby Neil Alan Rudkins Manager telling me a tale, when he went to see him spar in Cali before the fight with Rudkin.Rubin reconised Bobby and said you come to see Bobby said yes,Bobby said Scrap he was sparring with the World Lightweight champ 2nd round He KOd him he was out cold,He walked over to the ropes,looked down at me and said you seen enough. Bobby said seen enough.Scrap I was shitting myself, what a fighter

[Wacko3205]

Personally...I think that it does boil down to JCC...but I just aint down with JCC's style.

I'm pretty fond of Barrera & Morales though.

Barrera is def the greatest of our gen.

[MOOG]

There have been many great Mexican fighters but Sanchez is in a league of his own, and is the best boxer I have ever see. He's as good as Marcianio, Ali, and Leonard who are the others I think are the greatest o9f all time. It's hard to split them. Barrera is excellent but Pacquio hammered him stupid, and he's dodged Scott Harrison for years now.

Scott Harrison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!! Barrera would have been to much for Scott Harrison, why would Barrera dodge Harrison Please explain to me.

Sal Sanchez not sure good but not great in my book, my opinion Dont think Pat Cowdell did either Nelson was only a novice when He Boxed Him.
