    Vicente Saldivar should be above everyone but Chavez and probably Olivares.

    Olivares was incredible i would switch 2 and 4 cause i can only put sanchez so sigh based on his body of work and ofcourse the o'l "what couldve been"

    Morales like i said many times is the most underated boxer in probably 30 years.

    So yea youve got overall a good list there.. :)

    Copied and pasted from my post in the British Forum.

    1. Vicente Saldivar
    2. Julio Cesar Chavez
    3. Ruben Olivares
    4. Salvador Sanchez
    5. Miguel Canto
    6. Carlos Zarate
    7. Rodolfo Casanova
    8. Baby Arizmendi
    9. Juan Zurita
    10. Kid Azteca

    Too much trouble differentiating between the modern day Mexican trio and Ricardo Lopez to place any of them on the list, but I've got no issues with anyone who has any of them in the latter half.

    Saldivar continues to be one of the most underrated fighters of all time. One of the greatest champions in the history of the Featherweight division.

    Jeez!
    I keep telling you, the answer is obviously Pancho Villa.

    A great boxer, but when people said
    "War Pancho" he went to war against a much bigger opponent (US Govt)

    So was Pancho Villa the Filipino boxer really Pancho Villa the Mexican general, Phys? Is it all a big conspiracy?

    No, he isn't. He is Cuban, born and raised, and later emigrated to Mexico after Fidel Castro had professional boxing banned. He was accepted as a Mexican citizen after the people embraced him as one of their own, but he is not of Mexican blood.

    As an aside, were he actually Mexican he'd be the clear-cut #1 on this list.
