    Olivares and Saldivar should at least be options. Canto as well.

    Voted Sanchez, partly because of all the support Chavez is likely to and has gotten.

    Sure a lot of 'trolls' who think a young Vargas rapes a young Canelo and clean out the 154.

    Lopez.

    One of the best all-around fighters I've ever seen. He doesn't get enough credit because of his size, but in my eyes, he's the best boxer out of Mexico.

    Vargas more Mexican than Oscar because he wore a flag :yep

    They are not considered Mexicans! They are Mexican-Americans not true Mexicans.

    In terms of actual ring accomplishments it is Chavez. Sanchez was simply not around long enough to accomplish what even Barrera, Morales, and maybe Marquez have, and we all know if Barrera had died after beating Hamed and had never fought Junior Jones we would make him an immortal boxing God, too.

    Finito Lopez has to be considered but his lack of megafights and visability puts him behind even dubious mexicans like Oscar.

    Note that I don't think Chavez was the most skilled but he had the total package to get the job done in often devastating fashion.

    Why is Alvarez on that list and which ****s voted for him. De La Hoya and Tapia are Yanks.

    Your options should be:
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Erik Morales
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Ruben Oliveres
    Ricardo Lopez
    Salvador Sanchez
    Other

    In terms of ring accomplishments, it has to go to Chavez Sr. But god damn, was Sanchez something to watch. And I think Finito might have made it to the top of the list had he had more competition during his time.
