Greatest bantanweights of the 70s-00s, h2h?

Chandler
Pintor
Sandoval ( I take it you are referring to Richard, not his brother Alberto)
Orlando Canizales
Marquez
Lujan
Austin
Zamora
McCullough

 

I agree with the first three.

 

thanks

I put Zamora so low because he was exposed by Zarate and then imploded.

Lujan was a very good fighter who fought the best, and he kod Zamora

McCullough was tough, but not a good boxer.

Canizles had tons of defenses, but didn't beat too many really high level guys.

Marquez and Austin maybe could be placed higher.

Honestly, I haven't seen all their fights.

 

No Zarate?

 

Yeah, that was an obvious omission by the OP.

He basically left out most of the best '70s Bantamweights.

He left out many other very good bantamweights of the '80's, 90's and '00s

McCullough shouldn't even be on such a list, in my opinion.

I think it is more a list of bantamweights he would like to know more about, then an actual list of the best bantamweights of the 70s-00's.

 

Anselmo moreno too

 

Miguel "Happy" Lora
Rueben Olivares

 

Jeff Fenech?

 

Zarate's top of the list for sure imo

Quick list off the top of my head -

Zarate
Olivares
Chandler
Pintor
Fenech
Gaby Canizales
Alfonso Zamora
Albert Davila

 

Ruben Olivares
Carlos Zarate
Rafael Herrera
Chucho Castillo
Rodolfo Martinez
Jeff Chandler
Alfonso Zamora
Lupe Pintor
Gaby Canizales
Albert Davila

 

i am surprised that you did not mention duran and at hw too

 

I'm surprised that you managed to form a coherent sentence.

 

You could just drive by the LA Forum/Olympic back then, and grab 10 of the bantams working out nearby....and you would have a a pretty good List.

 

1. Olivares (Sorry, I know you don't have him listed, but he was a 70's bantam champ)
2. Zarate (oops, sorry again)
3. Chandler
4. O. Canizales
5. Marquez
6. Lujan
7. Zamora
8. Pintor
9. Austin
10. McCullough
You can disqualify me for listing Olivares & Zarate if you wish
