I am mostly aware of Mexican boxers from the late 1970s or more recent. I've read stories about some of the great old time Mexican boxers, but I just can't remember very many of their names. Here's who I came up with (fewer than 10, but it's who comes to mind) Julio Cesar Chavez Ricardo Lopez Juan Manuel Marquez Eric Morales Marco Antonio Barrera Ruben Olivares Oscar De La Hoya (I know he was born in Los Angeles, but I'll include him due to his ancestry)
My ATG Rankings 1. Jualio Cesar Chavez 2. Ruben Olivares 3. Salvador Sanchez 4. Juan Manuel Marquez 5. Vicente Saldivar 6. Marco Antonio Barrera 7. Erik Morales 8. Miguel Canto 9. Carlos Zarate 10. Ricardo Lopez
That is what is so great about him. He couldn't sing yet his voice was unique (no homo). I have all those mentioned artists on my Ipod but one 1-2 songs for each, I got about 10 or so songs for Elizalde, lots of plays. :good
1. Julio Cesar Chavez 2. Salvador Sanchez 3. Erik Morales 4. Ricardo Lopez 5. Juan Manuel marquez 6. Marco Antonio Barrera 7. Ruben Olivares 8. Oscar de la hoya 9. Fernando vargas 10. Rafa Marquez I know, two aren't Mexican by nationality but by blood instead.

Never heard of Viente Saldivar?, Miguel Canto?, Carlos Zarate? All 3 better and more accomplished than Vargaz who is Mexican-American, and Rafa Marquez, do some research on them, Viente Saldivar Top 5 Featherweight of All Time Carlos Zarate Top 5 Bantamweight of All Time Miguel Canto Top 5 Flyweight of All Time
Yeah, he clearly belongs... just having a hard time remembering names from so far back. While these guys are great, they rarely come up in conversation so their names aren't always on the tip of my tongue. My bad... add Sanchez to my list.
