Top 20 Latino fighters PFP

Okay this was a tough list to make out and i know im gonna hear it on a few, especially the Margarito one,but bottom line there is no proof he ever had handwraps against Cotto,Cintron etc etc or all his other previous wins and imo im not writing him off as a top fighter just cause of the Mosley loss and alleged suspicions. I have to rank him above Cotto here. Also am gonna keep Rafa Marquez and Izzy high until we see what they got left in their upcoming fight, a year ago i would have had them a close 2nd and 3rd behind JMM, they havent been active so their stock went down slightly. Not much separating a lot of these guys though. Oh yeah i dont know where to rate Joan Guzman if he would have came in at the weight limit he might been in the top 15 but he didnt and i dont think he will be elite at Welter. So i just put him as honorable mention.

1.Juan M Marquez Mexico
2.Sergio Martinez Argentina

Yey you got a good point about Diaz and Juarez i just dont like Diaz at JW and it looks like he is gonna stay there. I think he is a better fighter than Juarez but im not so sure about his future. Juarez at least had a draw with a PFP(although Controversial). I didnt like the way Diaz looked in his last fight with Paulie. I think Cotto is placed about right, you have to remember those guys above him are fresher and pretty damn good fighters themselves in fact that whole list of fighters are all top guys in their weight class. Like i said earlier Ill wait until after their fight to revaluate Marquez and Vasquez they deserve their high ranking until after this fight. I think Marquez still has something left, i think Vasquez is faded but i cant but Rafa over Izzy since he has lost 2 out of those 3. I cant see putting Cotto above any of the guys i listed. I think he is still a top notch fighter but definitely faded.
Oh yeah i originally put top 20 But i forgot JuanaMa and Quintana and just decided to leave the others in and add a couple honorable mentions.

 

Yey he is probably better than Marquez and Vasquez right now but until i see what those guys have left im not gonna put Valero above him since his resume isnt close to those guys. We will see in May.

 

Wrong thread but number 5 on the Asian list.

 

A little bit of each.

 

I am also picking Martinez style wise he is gonna give Pavlik a boxing lesson, although i give the bigger Pavlik a punchers chance. As for Diaz well i thought he was very good a few years ago and he was actually a top 15 PFP for a little bit i even saw him in some peoples top 10,but his time has passed. Like i said if Diaz was still at LW he would be much higher maybe around 10 spots higher on this list, but Juarez can punch a little and he has only lost to the best and been very competetive with a couple of the top guys, he would still beat almost all of the top contenders.

 

My mistake i thought he had a fight with Peterson, but i checked and nothing scheduled for him. Early in his career he actually started out at JW had his first 10 fights at that weight. I feel he lost a little speed when he moved up, he seemed much quicker at LW and i dont think it was Malinaggi that made him look slower. He wasnt a good puncher at LW so im sure his power isnt all that at JW either.
