Rank these 10 Mexican ATGs

Without thinking too much.

JCC
Saldivar
Olivares
Sanchez
Canto
MAB
Morales
Zarate
Azteca
Lopez

 

I really don't think that Saldivar is underrated as much he is unknown/little known in certain circles (and they would rather post here than research who he is)...I think it is a problem of guys who rate him 9-10 here just becuase they don't know him, have not seen him and are unfamiliar with that era....Sure there are some that just are not convinced, but I believe that percentage is small. He was not flashy, just a methodical wear you down workman...that style does not appeal to the masses, so some will pick lower quality fighters based upon personality and style points alone.

Saldivar the forgotten Mexican, the forgotten FW...

 

Any country would be proud of their top 10, they breed them tough down Mexico way.

How can anyone omit Manuel Ortiz in the mix...Might likely be Mexico's top fighter.
Sadly forgotten today...
And Mexico's hardest one punch hitter of yesteryear, Aurelio Herrera should be included...

 

They were both from California so not Mexican in the national sense.

 

Certainly inconsistent post-118, but the crowd he mixed in at bantam, as well as scoring decisive stoppage victories over Rudkin, Rose and Sakurai, are enough to see him as one of the greatest bantams of all time. Therefore, he's a great Mexican as well. Got the better of series with Chacon at feather for one.

Anyway, it's more Herrera and Chucho being underrated. You can give Morales and Barrera slack for losing to each other and Pacquiao, but Olivares and those two deserve the same. Not like they were losing to inferior fighters, all three were ATG bantamweights, from Mexico, at the same time.

Chucho Castillo>Ricardo Lopez.

 

Canto>Lopez

 

How do think a fight between Castillo and Pintor goes Flea!

 

Flea I was going to post some nonsense about Lopez being better than the rest of Mexico combined but instead I'm going to ask where the Mexican Americans would go. Manuel Ortiz, Oscar de la Hoya, I guess that one guy that fought Chiquita Gonzales instead of losing to the New Master, Ricardo Lopez.
