    Who would your favourite latino fighter be, I pick Barrera as I was so happy when he beat Naseem Hamed. Also you knew you were always going to get a good fight when he was in the ring.

    There are a lot of current fighters who I would rank highly.

    Salvador Sanchez. never **** with a mexican with an afro. had mad top notch skills, but his stamina is what amazes me. he showed great chin, great speed, great ring generalship. never gasping for air or ever clinching. what a beauty of an athlete and boxer. at 23 his focus and expression never changed and had the mindset of a veteran fighter. he bought houses for his 11 brothers and sisters. wanted to become a doctor after he retired. can anyone really ask for a better role model?

    Hmm...Arguello and Trinidad are up there. Both were big punchers who picked their shots well. I enjoy watching Arguello surgically take guys apart, especially how he threw that right uppercut to the body. Tito on the attack was a joy to watch, especially with the left hook (both to the body and head).

    I like watching Sanchez too. Very smooth boxer.
