    From Mexico on down to Argentina. Those with passports from Central America and South America.

    Whats your top 10 from that boxing rich region.

    Disclaimer: yes Sergio Martinez is a white guy, but his ethnicity is latino. Yes Tito Trinidad is a black guy, but his ethnicity is latino. Don't want this to be a race bait thread.

    Thanks. I was asking because I've found that I've enjoyed watching Latino fighters because of their style. A lot of them have been exciting.

    Duran, Chavez, and Monzon are the top 3 without much debate.

    After that, the list can go a variety of ways.

    I really appreciate Manuel Marquez technical skills, Camacho speed and Gomez puncher/boxer style

    I don't have a definitive list, but Duran heads it and guys like Jofre, Monzon, Chavez, Gavilan, Arguello, Napoles, C. Ortiz, and Olivares would likely make the list; and men like Brown, Gomez, Benitez, Perez, Canto, Zarate, etc. would vie for a spot.

    I stand semi-corrected. Jamaica is just south of Cuba, But I don't believe it is considered a Latin country
