    My favorite is Locche.

    But the best is Monzon.

    Yeah, definitely Monzon, I think nobody would dispute that.....
    The second place is a lot harder to tell, it´s between Locche, Perez and Galindez......

    Julio Cesar Vasquez is a top-10 guy. He was really, really good for a handful of years.

    And some guy named Martinez is doing alright.

    But Monzon is an ATG.

    Santos Laciar and Horacio Accavallo are often overlooked. But I think you'd have to say Monzon and Pascual Perez are numbers 1 and 2.

    Perez and Accavallo are arguably greater than Locche.

    Monzon, Perez, Locche, Accavallo, Galindez would probably be my top five (off the top of my head) BUT I would happily sub' Galindez for Lacier, one of my favourites and as Surf-Bat has said above, painfully underrated and rarely given his due.

    Maybe not the greatest Argentinian, but one of my favourite fighters was the left hooking middleweight of a tough MW era, Eduardo Lausse...H2h he whips Martinez...
