    Julio Cesar Vazquez was a terror for a while in the 90's. I would have taken him to be Norris for year or so.

    I was reading all the posts and waiting to see if anyone mentioned Gregorio Peralta and Eduardo Lausse. For sheer strength and punching power few could match Eduardo Laussse. Peralta was super durable and a really tough guy.

    I was big Galindez fan. As he made more money, he partied more, and did not get as great as he could have been. Him never fighting Conte is one fight I'm sorry never happened, both were terrific, Conteh actually burned out faster.

    I was always a fan of Argentine fighters. I seemed to always root for them..not just Monzon, but Locche, Galindez, Corro, Castro, Bonavena, etc .,...
