Top 10 fighters from Argentina

Based on numerous title defences over average fighters in a really weak divison?

 

Of course, Monzon is at the top...and your list makes a lot of sense. I would just tweak it a bit, as follows:

1. Carlos Monzon
2. Nicolino Locche
3. Victor Galindez
4. Pasqual Perez
5. Sergio Martinez
6. Julio Cesar Vasquez
7. Santos Benigno Laciar
8. Jorge Ahumada
9. Omar Andres Narvaez
10.Sergio Victor Palma

 

Galindez above Perez??? Martinez top five? Where is Lausse? Where is Accavallo?

 

Accavallo has far better scalps to his name than Narvaez. Fought in an incredible era for his division and a division with much more historical relevance and depth.

 

IMO, he was the best MW since Hopkins.

 

This list could easily move towards a top 20 - 25. A couple of fighters have been mentioned that really shouldn't be there. Gilberto Roman was Mexican not Argentine and Federico Thompson, who made his name in Argentina was actually Panamanian. He turned pro and won and lost the Panamanian lightweight title before moving to the Argentine. I guess it's like Cerdan and Fitzsimmons as in where do you say they're from?

Anyways, to add to this expanding list I would also throw in

Carlos Gimenez
Gustavo Ballas
Alfredo Cabral
Rocky Rivero
Jorge Fernandez
Vicente Derado
Jose Gatica

 

All fair comments.

Who said Roman was an Argie?

 

nice list and Galindez did have some great wins and deep resume in Argentina as well

 

It was mentioned in comment #9. Maybe the poster remembered the fights between he and Laciar and got them mixed up.

 

Truth is Flea,...my lists, after the top two or three,...are ****...Lists are not my thing,...especially lists made early in the morning.
Truth is, both Lausse and Avocado should have been ahead of Martinez...and I'll revise that in honor of you Flea...in deference to being properly corrected on that matter.....but..., I'll stand by Galindez at 3. I think he had a more than distinguished title reign.....and I don't know that much about Perez....nevertheless i liked Galindez...I was a fan. Just be thankful that I didn't list another perennial favorite,...namely Hugo Corro.:smoke

 

:thumbsupThank you sir!

 

Here it is...the revised list:
1. Carlos Monzon
2. Nicolino Locche
3. Victor Galindez
4. Pasqual Perez
5. Eduardo Lausse
6. Horacio Accavallo
7. Santos Benigno Laciar
8. Julio Cesar Vasquez
9. Omar Andres Narvaez
10.Sergio Martinez
Thanks for the observations Flea! I still suck as a list maker..that is, if it's top 10, it tends to suck past #3.

 

This is a much improved list, however:

Lausse and Accavallo ranked higher than Santos Laciar????!!!c

 

Vasquez is at least top 5.

 

I guess so KB, at least to me.
