    Inspired by the Pea-Duran and Pea-Sanchez thread.
    All 3 were very well rounded, could box, punch, brawl, and counter punch although they utilized their styles differently. Chavez being the pressure fighter, Lopez being the boxer, and Sanchez being a mixture of both in a way.
    Out of these Mexican legends who do you think was the most skilled overall?

    Chavez and Sanchez more proven. Out of them for sure.

    Chavez would beat Sanchez. I read an interview with Chavez, where the guy asking the questions referred to Chavez as the most skilled boxer ever to come from Mexico. Chavez said no way, that if he and Ricardo Lopez were the same weight that Lopez would knock him out.
    So I say Lopez, Chavez , then Sanchez.

    Mexicans love coke way more than any other people. They still keep it in glass bottles...

    Theoretically Lopez, could box and punch with equal effectiveness. But He was never truelly tested as Sanchez & Chavez were.

    I never saw Chavez or Lopez look as great as Sanchez did against Gomez so I'm going with him.

    Tough though

    No they're not. I have JMM>Lopez. Lopez barely makes the top ten mexicans IMO.
