    I have a soft spot for these Mexican warhorses who started out getting beat for fun after turning pro before they reached puberty but turned their careers around once they'd served their apprenticeships. Unless they have a cue-ball head and their surname is Salido that is.

    Well, he's basically what Jose Luis Lopez would've been if he was one of the Mexican warhorses you talk of.

    He's also really, really fun to watch. :naughty2:

    I hated him so much at first, but started to appreciate the showmanship and just laugh his antics off. Definitely Prince Naseem before he came around.

    JM Marquez
    Tijuana tornado
    Jose Luis Castillo
    In heavyweights: tie for Cristobal nightmare arreolla and Andy Ruiz until they fight to settle it.
    From the nostalgia eras: JCC Sr, odlh, and Chico Corrales.
    Note: all these guys had huge balls
    My fav sparrer for the greats: I think he's mexican, Beltran (warrior)
    Some ashamed: JCC jr some overhyped: Canelo Alvarez.
    And a inaugural mexican: GGG props to Cotto with the same style.
    And also; they're kryptonite: Manny Pacquiao

    My goat mexican: Juan baby bull Diaz.

    Lopez was a very good fighter ducked my many top fighter's, imo he should've been the first to beat Quartey which was announced as a "draw", Sadly DLH and Trinidad never gave him a shot.
