    Colombia, admittedly, is not nearly as deep in boxing history as Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Panama.

    In terms of boxing greats, their top 3 is easy:

    1. Cervantes
    Gap
    2. Rodrigo Valdez
    3. Miguel "Happy" Lora

    4-5 is tricky, but maybe Fidel Bassa? Then Maurcio Pastrana? Rafeal Pineda?

    I'll defer to guys like George, Tin, ect.

    I mean, Diego Corrales was actually half Colombian, can he count?

    He doesn't belong any greatest list but lets give Breidis Prescott a shout for knocking the piss out of A Mere Con.

    He should be the Latin goat in general based on that service he rendered.

    Sugar Baby Rojas, Bernardo Caraballo, Antonio Herrera, Fidel Bassa and Yonnhy Perez could be among the bottom three. I'd say Bassa and Rojas, making my list:

    #01. Cervantes
    #02. Lora
    #03. Valdez
    #04. Bassa
    #05. Rojas

    Should I feel ashamed for leaving off Sugar Baby and I just uploaded his win over Laciar less than 24 hours ago? LMAO!

    Yeah, I'll agree with that ranking. And I could see Lora over Valdez, but I'm gonna keep Rocky at 2.
