    I voted for Canelo only because Chavez Jr wasn't on the list.

    Chavez, he not only knocked out Roger Maywether two times in two different weight divisions, he also had 130,000 fans live at ringside when he fought in a bull ring...............

    He has 1 win over 1 ATG and lost to just about every other top fighter he faced, Chris John, Norwood, Bradley. His resume pales in comparison to MAB and Morales.

    Sanchez No question. When you compare a 23 yr old Sanchez to a 23 yr old Chavez, there is no comparison. Sanchez's resume was far superior to Chavez's. Look at Sanchez's first 44 fights compared to Chavez's. Not even close. It possible that SS could have had 80-90 fights with just a hand full of loses. I do, however have to admit that SS is one of my favorite fighters.

    The interesting thing here is that with a bit of luck timing-wise, (and of course Sanchez not dying) Sanchez and Chavez could conceivably have fought each other at some point at 130 in '85 or so.

    Chavez buiklt up a massive impressive record, based on beating up bums

    Taylor thrashed him, as did Sweet Pea

    Sanchez died when he was 23. He could well have went on to become Mexico's GOAT. He could also have taken up philanthropy.


    Time and time again, JMM took on the toughest opponents available. He took on the P4P Champ 4 times, aruably winning them all, while giving away every concession

    He had the cahonnes to fight the most talented fighter of our era 3 divisions above his comfort zone


    Finito Lopez is the 4th and final Mexican in with a shout for this, he was trained by Nacho Beristain. Nacho said Juan was the best fighter he has ever trained. Maybe some of y'all know more then Nachio....

    Taylor suffered a broken eye socket, broken ribs, badly busted up face, had a lot of blood pumped from his stomach, was pissing blood for weeks and was in hospital for almost 2 weeks following the fight.

    Taylor Thrashed him? You and anyone else who says it is an idiot.
