    Actually there resumes are pretty equal although Zurita got a world title, Bolanos would have too but unfortunetly he had one of the greatest Lw ever in his way Ike Williams, and Bolanos still managed to fight him to a split decision loss Bolanos went 3-1 vs Chalky Wright another guy you could consider to be on this list he was Black but he was born in Durango,Mexico.
    Chango Cassanova was a good call earlier by Ricardo, he had wins over Kid Azteca,Went 3-1 vs Zurita,1-1 vs Freddie Miller,3-1 vs Speedy Dado,had other impressive wins over Arizmendi,Midget Wolgast. I guess he was one also one of the Pioneer of Mexican boxing with Azteca and Arizmendi, although earlier someone said Aurelio Herrera who was the first top mexican fighter that i can think of

    Chango Cassanova is considered by the oldtimers as one of Mexico's best. The truth is that some Mexican Boxers due to racism never got to show what they had against the best, it is arguable that some of these fighters that were prevented from fighting for a title were actually much better than what they are ranked. Black fighters were screwed major and some Mexican fighters never got their due as well.

    Terrible list but then again, you've seen three-four fights of Marco. Educate yourself, old timer.

    What's your reason for Zarate being above both Saldivar and Barrera?

    One of the most dominant Bantamweights ever with wins over the likes od Davila and Zamora, in a fairly good division. On film one of the best Bantamweights going.

    I meant Morales. I have Barrera between 65-70 on most days.

    Marquez is one of my favourite fighters. And yes, there are 100 better fighters IMO.

    Actually, I think I should swap Zarate and Saldivar definitly. I really like Lopez and think he is a brilliant boxer, but yeh he probably is too high.

    That's better than a three divisional champion who beat Morales x2, Hamed, and Mckinney?
