    Come on man. It's Julio Cesar Chavez, if you take JMM as second fiddle that's fine with me.

    But greater than Julio Cesar Chavez?

    Its neck and neck, i prefer JCC, maybe because im from a younger generation perhaps!
    I also like ricardo lopez, thought he was an amazing boxer

    I honestly don't see what criteria you could possibly come up with to rank Marquez #1.

    Nope. He's probably in my top 3 favorite Mexicans of all time, but i would put him at most in my number 10 spot for greatest Mexicans.

    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Ruben Olivares
    Salvador Sanchez
    Vicente Saldivar
    Erik Morales
    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Miguel Canto
    Carlos Zarate
    Ricardo Lopez
    Juan Manuel Marquez

    JCC.

    I think modern fighters get underrated though, we were lucky to have had Barrera, Morales and JMM. All 3 pure class.

    When Montiel KOs donaire and WV2, JMM will be outside the top ten.

    Sal Sanchez and Ricardo Lopez might have something to say about that, but it's very close IMO.

    I'd have Olivares clear ahead of Saldivar mate.
