    Don't forget Bobby Chacon, Alfredo Escalera, Alfonso Zamora, Danny Lopez
    Rodrigo Valdes,and Eder Jorfe, Vincente Salvidar and Jose Napoles
    at the ends of their careers but still dangerous.

    But not just Latin fighters, we will never see the
    level of fighters period from the 1930's thru
    the 1990's early 2000's.

    The only ATG from this list I forgot to mention was Napoles and Saldivar.

    The others were elite however.

    Wasn't just Hispanic fighters, every division was loaded in the 70's with talent who fought each other.
