    Corrales was half-Mexican, I think? He’s up there on my favorites with Tito, Duran, Sanchez, JMM, and Arguello.

    Shit, I forgot about Arguello, Canto and Chocolatito amongst others. It's hard tbf, that top five could swap quite easily.

    Wrong. He had a Colombian dad. Look it up.

    Ecuadorian would make NO sense. Ecuadorians look like Mexican Indians (I'm friends with a few of them), whereas a large percentage of Colombians are Black (Antonio Cervantes, Rodrigo Valdez, Edison Miranda).

    Chico clearly looked like a guy who was half Black.

    I noticed looking at lists that Chavez hasn't been mentioned even once. Not even on HM lists.

    Great fighter Chavez was. But I hated him back then. Now, I love watching his fights.

    Roberto Duran
    Kid Gavilan
    Ricardo Lopez

    If we're counting Americans of Latin descent then I would add Davila, Tapia, and Canizales.
