    In all honesty I hate calling Mantequilla and Ramos mexican fighters, because I love Cuban fighters and think they all have a seperate distinct fighting style from mexicans but here goes...

    I would have to say:

    Chavez
    Sanchez
    Napoles
    Morales
    Lopez
    Barrera
    Marquez
    Cuevas
    Palomino
    Ramos

    But the addition of Olivares & Zarate could change things around dramatically.

    Palomino
    Cuevas

    Likewise, I feel it's inappropriate to class Napoles and Ramos as "Mexican"..it's done only by virtue of their Mexican citizenship..a geographical technicality..as they were both, esp. Napoles, Cuban to the core stylewise.

    Maybe I'll never understand why Zarate is held in higher esteem than the more modern Mexican greats.

    1.Julio Cesar Chavez
    2.Salvador Sanchez
    3.Ricardo Lopez
    4.Jose Napoloes - almost tied with Lopez
    5.Marco A Barrera
    6.Erik Morales
    7.Juan M Marquez
    8.Pipino Cuevas
    9.Carlos Palomino Not much separatin him and Cuevas
    10.Sugar Ramos almost on par with the two above him

    I agree that Napoloes and Ramos shouldnt be on this list they were Cubanos. Palomino was born in Mexico but was raised in the US i usually rate him on the Mexican American list. Olivares,Zarate,Saldivar should replace them (or maybe Baby Arizmendi)
