Rank these 10 Mexican ATGs

I'm in no position to poke fun at anyone's appearance I'm afraid

 

I shaved that **** off to make it harder to choke me when I train groundfighting, which is a more than acceptable excuse for being bald.

 

So's heredity. Relax.

Haven't you heard, Ricardo Lopez is greater than Luis Manuel Rodriguez?

 

Roman deserves a mention on the same level as barrera\Morales\Marquez imo.

His trilogy with Laciar holds as much weight(and showcases as much skill)as any series from the above.

 

Showcases more skill than the Barrera/Morales affairs.

 

**** this forum.

 

:yikes

 

You wouldn't like the alternative forums :good

 

Relax prime, Ricardo Lopez showed more skill in his debut than in the Laciar-Roman and Barrera-Morales trilogies combined.

Let's have your ranking, please.

Gilberto Román, bless him, does not belong on this list.

 

He'd belong before Lopez for me.

Of the fighters listed, I'd rank em like this:

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

Don't know enough about Kid Azteca to really rank him. He has some nice wins on his resume and would get a decent ranking becuase of that, but consistency seems to have been an issue for him.

I'm unhappy with my ranking of Zarate, because even giving him the Pintor win, his resume is a little light. I always think of how he was more dominant (and just flat out more able) than the likes of Barrera and Morales though, and want to place him above them. Bias aside, I'm not sure I can mount a good case for doing so....

 

Intriguing list, quite different from mine.

You seem to rank the skill sets of Saldívar, Canto and Olivares well above those of more modern greats Barrera, Morales (and presumably Márquez.) Or are you going more on résumé?

Wouldn't Morales' victory over Pacquiao and Barrera's success with Morales match up pretty well with anything Saldívar ever did?

I gave Pintor the nod over Zárate myself. Zárate had an awesome run, but, for one thing, he seemed invincible when things were going well but almost clueless in adversity. He did not thrive under pressure as Chávez, Sánchez, Barrera, López, Morales and even Olivares did so many times, in my opinion.

And I can only explain what I see as the underrating of Finito as disdain for the Minimumweight. But the man was a great champion, who beat everyone there was to beat, defended 21 times over 8 years, proved himself a better man than his greatest rival, conquered the next weight class title and RETIRED UNDEFEATED!

This is an extraordinary résumé for a champion, one any other man on this list would be hard pressed to equal.
