Case for Mexican ATG?

and miller DEFINITELY has a case for top 10 all time feather. pretty impressive.

 

Turned Pro at the age of 16
He beat Henry Armstrong when he was 20...

 

that's incredible. and not a lot of footage? that's damn unfortunate. mexico's incredible fighting history has been interesting me more and more lately as debates about the greatest mexican fighter/s deepens the more you examine it. the world no longer begins and ends with chavez

 

another forgotten man is Saldivar... but we can find video on him

 

Hmmm...

 

oh yeah, for sure. saldivar is pretty well respected and known but you're right: he's rarely included in the top mexican conversations. much like canto he's placed on a different level from the chavez-sanchez-olivares group

 

... We was literally called the "Golden Southpaw"

IMO These 4, in that order, should be written in stone as the top 4 from Mexico.

 

definitely

 

So by your standards Ali is a bum for losing to Spinks who was 7-0-1 right?

 

Where did I ever say Gonzalez was a bum? I said he doesn't make my top 5 at Light Flyweight and not just because others have a better resume than he does, but he wasn't very consistent with performances at his peak. If you must make such a ridiculous comparison, Ali was on his last legs when he was beaten by Spinks, Gonzalez was at his peak physically. He actually pulled out the win, I'm just saying a lot of his outings left me unimpressed.

 

Top 10 Mexicans is a hardy...that number 10 spot has about 7 or 8 guys attacking it viciously, pushing hard to slip into the rankings whilst they all sit on equal 11.

I dont think I would have any of those guys pushing for that spot however.

Casanova is one guy Im looking a lot more into right now though...his record is very impressive for top shelf wins.

 

I agree 100% with what you said. My top 9 list would look something like this:

Julio Cesar Chavez
Ruben Olivares
Salvador Sanchez
Vicente Saldivar
Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barrera
Ricardo Lopez
Miguel Canto
Carlos Zarate
???????? <---- and that number 10 spot, like you said, is viciously attacked by the likes of Casanova, Arizmendi, Azteca, ect, ect....

 

I like your list. I'd have Lopez lower though, below Canto and Zarate.

 

Thanks. Honestly i have no problem with EM and MAB switching spots and /or RL, MC, and CZ switching as well. Just the top 4 are written in stone for me, in that order too. :good:
