    Your top 3 is mine as well. I can't really be bothered to find a definite order after that.

    Morales is a 3 weight champ and has wins over 2 ATG's in their prime. Can any other Mexican boxer claim that?

    Sanchez at 23 did what Canelo couldn't and beat his own version of Mayweather.. Iron jawed, brawler adopted American style boxing, great counter puncher, high ring IQ always found a way to win, great defense, poker face all business, and probably greatest stamina of any boxer I have ever seen. His ko of African legend Azumah Nelson in the 15th round a testament to his greatness. For Nelson to say Sanchez, not Whitaker nor Fenech, was the best he ever faced says alot about Sanchez. He was like the Mexican version of Ali.

    Its amusing the number of people who pick a career cherry picker over a guy who ALWAYS took the hardest fights going

    delahoya is american otherwise i say with his career and opposition he could be greatest. sal sanchez died too young otherwise he could be #1, finito lopez dominated, as far as the total package, longevity and popularity it would have to be chavez jr.
