    Well, in 1923, Sam Langford won and defended the Mexican heavyweight championship 6 times. If this qualifies him as a mexican, then i think he is probably the best Mexican fighter ever, by quite a margin.

    Glad you recognized him. I saw him late-60's, early 70's on TV and I have his KO over Olivares on tape. What a boxer-puncher! His only drawback was his inconsistency. When he was motivated and on his game, he couldn't be touched!
    My late friend and I used to call Rafeal the master of the triple left hook...:bbb

    Well in that case Duran has mexican blood and i rate him over Langford, and throw Napoloes in there he became a mexican citizen and adopted son. How about Chalky Wright he was born in Mexico, Sugar Ramos too
