Rank These Ten Hispanic ATG's.......

anarci would be better qualified to put it together. However, I'll start by saying that Juan Manuel Marquez is not Mexican enough. Counter-punching is cowardly. He comes in at number ten. Despite my personal preference, I might add, I'm trying to be objective.

 

Ruiz doesn't belong on the list. He clinched too much, and that's cowardly. Besides, real Puerto Ricans don't come from Massachussetts :deal

 

Yeah, yeah. JMM's style may not be Mexican enough but it's clearly his nature to be Mexican, being that he is, well...Mexican. Not many are going to fight back after a first round like he had in Pacquiao I. It's like he's trying not be so Mexican because he really is that Mexican. That's all academic though. Esparragoza is clearly the most Hispanic of that list of Hispanics.

 

He's a self-hating Mexican. He suffers from The Brown Man's Burden.

 

What if he's just afraid of unleashing his full Mexican on opponents? With great power comes great responsibility, and all that.

 

Yeah, PR are not hispanic. What's the other half?

Also, people born (and raised) in the States but of hispanic/mexican origin prefer the term Chicano to either.

 

Arguello's is better, but I don't know about Locche's being THAT inferior.

Locche has:

Antonio Cervantes
Eddie Perkins
Manuel Alvarez
Carlos Hernandez
Emiliano Villa
Jaime Gine
LC Morgan
Brown (old, admittedly)
Urbina
Fuji
Lopopolo
Pruitt
Henrique
Ortiz (Antonio)

Then he has draws with the likes of Carlos Ortiz & Ismael Laguna as well (although most think Ortiz clearly beat him).

Arguello has:

Olivares
Mancini
Limon
Chacon
Castillo
Navarette
Watt
Boza-Edwards
Kobayashi
Escalera
Leon
Ramirez (I count this as a loss for Arguello)
Hernandez
Legra (old)
Pascualito
Gainigan
Costello
Fernandez

Going by boxrec more than solid proof, Locche seems the more consistent (and hence more dominant). But again, that's largely speculative not having seen many of Locche's fights.

I think I'm giving Locche a lot of the benefit of the doubt here.

In any case, Locche is # 39 all time for me, and Arguello is # 43, so they're neck and neck.

You could definitely make a reasonable case for Arguello being higher.
