    Tyson Marquez is a hard hitting southpaw flyweight.
    He has been brought up very carefully by his father.

    Both Top Rank and GBP want him ...however he prefers Top Rank.
    27-0 with 20 KO's

    Check out this guy James De La Rosa... I finally found some video on him, he looks like a good prospect at welterweight.

    Just to clarify he is a Blaxican (half black half Mexican)

    They both look good im especially impressed with Marquez he seems like hes ready to take on World class fighters.

    Id have to see more of Delarosa but he looked good.

    James "The King" De La Rosa just signed with Don King so maybe we will get to see more of him.

    Tyson looks like he needs to tighten his d a little though.

    The PR list is Ok but the Mexican list was terrible. Andrade is not a top 10 mexican fighter and Angulo isnt there yet. Saul Alvarez hasnt beaten anyone hes maybe around 30th,but he looks good so far. You shouldnt rate Marquez so low i dont think hes slipped as much as people think, Although Vasquez didnt look so hot in his last outing he still deserves to be rated high.

    I'm not including Mexican-American's, so from your list that excludes the likes of Guerrero, Luevano, Ortiz, Juarez, Diaz, Reyes, Flores, Arreola etc.

    I'm not as hung up on Andrade as a fighter as some, but he's still a tough fight for anybody in probably the most packed division in boxing. Angulo is a top fighter at 154 in what is a packed division, and one of the few Mexican fighters with the potential to win belts.

    Alvarez hasn't beaten anybody past C level that may be true, but he's showing great maturity for his age and real potential, and he's shining as a great prospect in a very strong division.

    I'm a big, big Marquez fan but he's not the fighter he was at 118 or even a few yearrs ago. Vazquez is ranked terribly high on your list. There is no way he is currently the 2nd best Mexican fighter, he looked terrible on his comeback against a journeyman.

    Can I ask, are you Mexican? Because it seems you are overhyping the Mexican legends a bit. Marquez and Vazquez were fantastic fighters, but they are inactive and only fighting each other, and looked faded against average fighters, although Marquez was a lot, lot better. I mean when we mix that with you ranking Ricardo Lopez as a top 30 ATG aswell.

    YEY i am Mexican/american. What Mexican legends to i hype up to much? Besides Lopez and by the rest of the guys on the classic forum underrate Lopez i mean most of them think Jung Koo Chang was better.:verysad Im gonna keep Vasquez up there until he is either beaten or has one more poor showing. I thought Marquez looked fine last time out,and he might return to his old form. These guys seemed to be penalized by many for putting on 3 great wars.

    Nothing to do with penalising them, they just aren't the same fighters they were. Lopez is not a top 30 ATG, and that is that.

    Yey he is:yep and in a HTH matchup hed probably beat some guys near the top 10. Besides thats another thread and ive gone over that a zillion times in the classic forum.
    You didnt answer my question what Mexican fighters to i hype up? Is Lopez the only one you were talking about?
