Case for Mexican ATG?

None of them have legitimate claims in my book.

 

I think you could make a better case for Rodolfo Martinez or Rodolfo Chango Cassanova

I think besides Anarci most of you wont know who is in this video.

I think Casanova should be in the top ten Mexican fighters of all time has wins over Armstrong, Arizmendi, Wolgast, Zurita, Dado, Conde

Cuevas is the youngest welterweight champ ever

Gonzalez has a solid resume as well

Cuevas is considered a great in Mexico

 

Gonzalez doesn't make my top 5 Light Flyweights of all time.

Cuevas, state your case. :good

 

Cuevas I believe was the first Mexican to hold a title at 147.

Turned pro at 14 champion at age 20...he was also the youngest welterweight champ ever I think


He held his title for 3 years against more experienced talent.


he was 15-6 when he fought Angel Espada for the world title and won it

He beat Campanino, Weston, Backus, Espada (2 times), and Ranzany

FYI-Addie this thread is in regards to ATG Mexican fighters...not ATG's in general so in light of that you might agree that he is in Mexico's top 20 :good

Ps Humberto Gonzalez is a Jr Flyweight and could arguably be the greatest ever at 108

 

Cuevas for sure. The terror of the WW division from 1976-80, leaving behind a slew of KO victims. You needn't say more.

 

Not at all. He wasn't consistant in his prime in terms of performances, and he lost the most significant fight in his trilogy with Carbajal. Moreover, he wasn't as well rounded and naturally gifted as some of the other candidates. Great fighter though, I have like 12 of his fights on DVD.

 

Read this article...."Casanova Whips Miller Soundly"

I tell you Casanova deserves more respect


http://news.google.com/newspapers?n...xX4tAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5pgFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4096,187871

 

Actually he was champ at age 18 2nd youngest champion in history ever after Benitez, youngest Welter champ all time.

 

You say he lost the most significant match... however, in the rematches he consistently outboxed Carbajal. They were boring but he dominated Carbajal all 24 rounds....

 

What do you think of Casanova Anarci?

 

Both return bouts were close, competitive fights. What the hell were you watching?

 

Great Classical post:good Yey you can make a case for cassanova being in the top 10 mexican greats besides beating Armstrong,Arizmendi,Dado,Zurita(several times),Wolgast he beat Freddie Miller who is considered by many close to a top 10 all time featherweight you notice between 8:30 and 9:59 he had a standing ovation even bigger than Kid Azteca at 8:18
