Sad statement on Mexican boxing, a guy who was slow and has no defense is #1. JCC is less than Trinidad, DeLaHoya, Leonard. Reminds me of Chicharito being considered the best player to come from Mexico. Brazil has a population of 180 million, Mexico 120 million. Brazil has thousands of players in Europe, Mexico has 1. Quality of athletes in mexico is poor. Chavez had a thick aztec skull, but that's about it.
Not put much thought into it but; 1. Chavez 2. Sanchez 3. Salvidar 4. Olivares 5. Morales 6. Marquez 7. Barrera 8. Lopez 9. Canto 10. Zarate
I think Salvador Sanchez is the Clear #1. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBEmsnrQno0[/ame] He had great skills and resume.
I feel many people are on the "what could have been" and forget how much he accomplished at his young age.
Acording to Howard Cosell's naration in the video, Sanchez only planed to fight for another year. His resume at 23 is as good if not better than a lot of very acomplished boxers at 33.
What's the reason for putting Morales ahead of Barrera if Barrera beat him two out of three, and nearly always won their exchanges inside?
I think Finito was the best mexican fighter ever. His techhnique was flawless. Sal Sanchez is a close second.
I was always under the impression that a little slip of the head and a punch in the kidneys was his defense not a thick head!
