    i would take out lopez and chocolate and replace them with napoles and rodriguez. i kind of feel like wilfredo gomez should be in there somewhere, but maybe not....there's been ton of truly great latin warriors.

    Its a good list mate...You have the main players that should be there.

    The rest of the spots are up to personal choice..both JMP and T-Bag have some very good ones of their own.

    Probably not justified but depends on what criteria you put the most emphasis on I guess.

    Sanchez had about the best career you could possibly squeeze into the less then 3 years he was at the top.

    His win over Gomez is far better then any single win on Chavez's record. You could even argue his win over a green Nelson is better then anybody Chavez beat aswell.

    Looking at how they dealt with a common opponent of theirs in Laporte might be another way to split them.

    But for me I probably usually have Chavez a little bit ahead.

    Good list, but i'd change Chavez to #2.
    Sanchez didn't do enough to be called an ATG (of course, his life was taken away too soon from a car accident).
