best argentine fighter

Another one of my favorites was Gustavo"Mandrake"Ballas he used to pull off some moves that remind me of Locche, IMO hes an underrated defensive fighter.

 

i thought that was the great luis firpo.

 

Probably just outside it for mine.

I'd rate the following above him:

Carlos Monzon
Nicolino Locche
Pascual Perez
Victor Galindez
Santos Laciar
Jorge Fernandez
Horacio Accavallo
Jorge Ahumada
Luis Federico Thompson
Eduardo Lausse

Then he's in the mix with the likes of:

Gregorio Peralta
Manuel Alvarez
Rocky Rivero
Hugo Corro
Sergio Martinez
and a few others too..

 

Justo Suarez deserves a mention

 

Beat Aaron Davis, Winky Wright, Carl Daniels and put forth a very good showing against Whitaker. A dozen of so title defenses. Not too shabby.

 

This is obvious, the best was Carlos Monzon.

 

:goodThat's right Vic!

 

This is right too.

 

Corro. How can you pick against him?

 

You don't need to suck Monzon's **** every day of the week you know :yep

 

**** it I'm rolling with Marcos Maidana.

 

Whose **** do you suck?:hey

 

I do like Corro..seriously..and it was not easy not choosing him as the best..

 

Firpo?? Hell no
Too obsessed with counting his $$$$$$

great story! Brings a tear to slakkas eye

 

Monzon is obviously the top dog here

But Locche and Santos Laciar are also good ones.

And a very special mention goes to a panama-born Argentina-adopted fighter:
Luis “Ferdie” Thompson, the beloved "Negro Thompson"
