    Your challenging tone doesn't become the Classic forum, sir. Edit your posts to make a more favourable impression if you wish to discuss the issue more fully.

    Now this thread is gay as well as offensive...

    I don't really know what "Latin" is, but Cocoa Kid should be on there

    Any one of a number of those fighters based upon resume. He absolutely dominated his series with Holman Williams, who has one of the deepest win ledgers in history. This alone puts him there or thereabouts on such a list, but you can add wins over Jack Chase, Phil Furr, Jimmy Leto, Chalky Wright, Eddie Booker as well as a raft of ham and eggers, contenders and journeymen for a total of up to 200 career wins.

    I could name 15 guys missing from your list more deserving than Daniel Zaragoza.

    Watching Froch-Dirrell?

    Not sure if he'd make my list. Outside of the guys you've already mentioned being absent from the list I'd consider putting in the likes of:

    Victor Galindez
    Horacio Accavallo
    Pedro Montanez
    Jose Medel
    Santos Laciar
    Hilario Zapata
    Antonio Gomez
    Betulio Gonzalez
    Rafael Herrera
    Chucho Castillo
    Jose Legra
    Rodolfo Gonzalez
    Sugar Ramos
    Happy Lora
    Fidel Bassa
    Guty Espadas
    Raul Perez

    Not watching Froch-Dirrell.

    Yeah there are loads of names, and :patsch for me for leaving off Legra, Espada, Ramos and Galindez.

    Froch Dirrell could be fun man, we could disagree about the decision :D

    Did you see Taylor-Abraham? Would have made you pretty furious I bet...although Abraham's defence is not too bad, so maybe not.
