Who's the current Mexican fighter you admire?

Maybe not 3 at the same time,,, But i promise theres a great Mexican fighter on the rise... Its just a given because Mexico is a fight factory and always produces elite fighters. And there are some damn good Mex/American prospects coming up.

 

out of active relevant Mexican fighters;


Personality wise - Miguel Angel Garcia: Very classy and intelligent but I dont see him reaching stardom.

Stylewise - Brandon Rios: I think hes a total jackass but his style more than makes up for it and its an exhilirating thing to watch.

Overall - Fernando Montiel: A future HoF with a lot of class and an under appreciated career.

 

There will always be some Mexicans and Mexican-Americans up at or near the top of the rankings...mostly below 160lbs :good

 

Juan Manuel Marquez

:deal

 

Yes and theres even a top 10 heavyweight contender, and once SHields gets him into shape he will take over when the Klits retire BJ Flores gave champ Danny Green all he wanted in his own backyard. Imo Top 5 cruiserweight... Shawn Estrada will be making some noise as a top SM and LH in the near future, hes already beating up on Andrade in sparring who is still a top 10 contender..Estrada has some big power, , give him 2 years and hell be knocking out some top LH and SM contenders. .... Mexicans are the only fighters that claim contenders or elite fighters in every division from Straw to Heavy

 

Librado Andrade gets honorable mention for me. He's all business and always comes to fight.

 

Segura is awesome I dont think anybody at flyweight that can beat him as he punches like a featherweight.

 

I hope you meant Lt.flyweight because there are a lot of threats at Flyweight like Pong and Luis Concepcion who has more devastating power than Segura. Also Segura looked like crap against Chango last year at flyweight.

 

Librado Andrade

 

MORALES all the way...

 

JMM despite his homosexuality

 

I have 3 that are my current mexican fighters.


1. Alvarez

2. Rios

3. Andrade


I would say Barrera but in all honesty he's already a done fighter that is looking just for a payday.

 

Juan Manuel Marquez. A legend and one of the most gutsy fighters around today. He's a total throwback, would've been at home in most any era. The Mexicans do have themselves some ****ing amazing fighters though looking back through. Barrera for example. I'd say Segura but I only saw his last fight so I don't feel entitled to comment really.

 

Manuel "Chango" Vargas - he gives champs from 105, 108 to 112 some tough fights.

 

:thumbsup

He was involved in 2011's FOTY so far.
