    Could the top spot be a three way debate between Oscar De La Hoya, Manuel Ortiz & Mando Ramos? Or any other suggestions?

    So many great Chicanos to pick from, I don't think anybody can go wrong with their respective picks. Me personally...all I did know is that I couldn't forget the last two.

    Career-wise, Mike. He and Sammy had drug abuse problems and brushes with the law as well, but avoided jail time.

    If Antonio Margarito did'nt have such a dark cloud hanging over him he would deserve a mention due to him being born in California.

    Yeah, & Mike's fight with Danny "Lil Red" Lopez was an instant classic. But if Tony's career went uninterrupted, it wouldn't even be close.
