    Canzoneri is Italian, I believe. I don't think that qualifies as Latin, does it?

    Correct! May of '81 Benitez defeated Maurice Hope & in June of the same year Arguello defeated Jim Watt by 15 round decision. to become the first Latin triple crown champions.

    Oh, Check out Arguello's title winning effort against Alfredo Escalera for the SFW Championship. One of the best fights you will ever see. The rematch is equally as good.
