    Hello fight fans, hope you all are alright.

    Based on the success of my previous survey videos (MMA Fan-Favorites & Boxing Southpaws) Thank you all btw for the support.

    I'm running another survey, but this time, we are looking across the boarder to Mexico. Mexican-style boxing is synonymous with the sweet science, and I want to showcase 7 of the greatest Mexican Boxers in the sport's history. I'm looking for any professional boxer from Mexico, and ranked from 1-7. 1 being the Greatest Mexican Boxers of All-Time.

    I'll have my points system of course, and I'll explain when the video comes out. But yeah, if they were "born in Mexico" THEY QUALIFY. The "greatest" part is up to you when you rank your 7. They can be retired/inactive or Active.

    Championships, weight-classes, length of career, style, and resume, Whatever factors you have for your ranking are your own. But please, 1-7.

    Deadline 5/30/2022

    Survey Template: (Please include Name, and Nickname please if applicable)

    I was actually going to put up a thread on ‘was Olivares overrated?’ Of the closet to his size on the list above, I think he loses to both Zarate and Barrera.

    Great list, Chris. You're the authority on these guys, although @Russell knew his stuff. Not going to risk looking foolish by disagreeing so I'll just endorse this list.

    Care to add the nicknames for us, Chris. Without looking them up, I can't think of any.

    Rockabye Ruben?

    PS I'm enjoying seeing JCC top so many lists.

    Evening George.
    Like you , like your posts, Buuuut Olivares over JCC, and Castillo but no place for Zarate, finding that a bitter pill to swallow buddy, I bow to no one in my admiration for Olivares, I grew up with him as champ, but still wouldn't have him above JCC , but like I have said many times, yous pay your money and takes your choice, stay safe buddy, chat soon.

    Is there any reason you pick the number 7? Mexico has so many greats that you could easily do a top 15.
