    The good thing is we have tape on all of them. Coming up in the states around that time. A ritual with my friends was tuning in the fights from Mexico, every Saturday. I got to see Canto in many fights, also Gilberto Roman, both were not the typical Mexicans they were boxers. A bunch of Salvador Sanchez's early fights. Yessir those were the days so many good fights and fighters.

    Watching Chucho Castillo v Olivares, great stuff. George Parnassus should be given a lot of credit
    for promoting competitive fights among the smaller men he put some Mexican fighters on the map in the US and via TV, the UK.

    A top 10 without Canto and Saldivar is just wrong.
