who are the 10 greatest featherweights from mexico?

[good right hand]

i have it a toss up between sanchez, saldivar and baby arizmendi as number 1.

sanchez looks to have been the greatest but arizmendi and saldivar have great arguments themselves.

sanchez was untouchable in his prime with his best wins of gomez, nelson and lopez (2x).

arizmendi had equally great wins over hof's lebarba, armstrong, miller and wright

saldivar also had equally great wins too over famechon, laguna, ramos and legra

there also many others as we all know,

barrera, morales, j. marquez, oliveras, medina, alejandro gonzalez and paez.

1. sanchez
2. arizmendi
3. saldivar
4. barrera
5. marquez
6. morales
7. medina
8. oliveras
9. gonzalez
10. paez

I haven't got a complete list made up of all the Mexican featherweights, but I do know that the top 2 are:
1. Sal Sanchez
2. Vincente Saldivar
and by the way, what a super great fight Sanchez-Saldivar would have been! I would have Sanchez winning a close 15 round decision. It would have been a classic.

great post,

i think if saldivar retired right after he beat famechon he would have that same mystique around him and regarded just a good as sanchez.

By the way i re-watched Sanchez-Nelson today, Sanchez-Saldivar would be a true classic.

Sanchez vs NBelson is a classic

Excellent post.However,Sanchez died in that car accident when he was only 23 years old,so we will never know what his prime would have been.

Could be..that retiring undefeated works wonders with your legacy, IMO...if Joe Frazier had only done the same thing..
