    Wasn't Yaqui Lopez a Mexican?? (or NATIVE American Indian?) either way he wins in a landslide.

    That dude was a solid fighter, that went thru his whole career with ****ty luck, and never catching a break:-(

    He had a number of title shots and I believe Network TV appearances, so he had plenty of breaks compared to most fighters, he just could not get his hands on a world title.

    I'm agreeing with Mcvey, and his choice of Pimental.

    Of those not mentioned yet, I kinda HATE to say it but - Ayala Jr. at least deserves mention. Disgusting human being, but had talent.

    Woulda beaten the Hell outta Canelo, I know that.

    You shoulda been more specific and said fighers FROM Mexico.

    Ayala WAS of Mexican descent and Donald Trump would sure as Hell consider him a Mexican.

    Jose Luis Lopez gets credit for almost finishing a prime Quartey.
