    That "Duran is a Mexican" thing is lame as fuck. No wonder that idiot brought it up.

    As for the question, for me Sanchez, Lopez and JMM were the most impressive technically speaking, but i must admit that my knowledge of the diaperweights is pretty limited

    The lack of mention for Pitbull Cruz is appalling.

    Canto, Chavez, and Sanchez were the top 3 most skilled for me because they were best at integrating both great offense and defense. They also kept it up at a high pace all night, unlike the spurt fighting juicer.
