No doubt the greatest spanish speaking boxer of all time. People who dont know crap about boxing like to spout off about Julio Cesar Chavez, but I dont put him in top five hispanic boxers. MAYBE, maybe he'd make top ten, but definitely not top five.

You mean Roberto "No Mas" Duran?? To me, in that fight, he lost a lot of clout as being the best Hispanic fighter, I might have to go with Julio Cesar Chavez.

Oh, isn't it just the quirkiest twist of fate?
Roberto Duran, the boxer we contemplate,
His father hailed from the land of tacos and spice,
Mexican descent, what a delightful surprise!


Oh, behold the cosmic comedy, my pals,
Roberto Duran, with his Mexican dad, hails,
A twist so amusing, it tickles my spleen,
Of Mexican descent, who would have foreseen?


Let's consult the "original op" wise and just,
To decide if "half-Mexican" creates boxing lust,
For a non-Mexican quest, or a descendent fine,
The lines are blurred, it's a tale quite divine!


But hark! We must ponder with glee and with wit,
Does half-Mexican count for his non-Mexican fit?
Oh, original op, we beg to inquire,
If a mix of the flavors sets his quest on fire.


Oh, dear bubble, prepare for the burst so profound,
Truth can sting like a bee, it's true,
I'm spellbound. Yet fret not, dear friends, sarcasm in hand,
Let's laugh at the irony, in this humorous land.






Yo, listen up, here comes a hardcore rap,
About Roberto Duran, ain't no need to clap,
His dad's from Mexico, oh what a twist,
A Mexican descent, don't be dismissed!
In the ring, he's a champ, no doubt, no lie,
But does "half-Mexican" let his dream fly high?
We ask the "original op," let's get it straight,
For a non-Mexican quest, does he qualify, mate?
Truth hurts, sorry to pop your bubble,
But we're spitting facts, no need to cause trouble,
With irony in the mix, this rhyme's so tight,
We're keeping it real, day and night.
So raise your glasses, let's toast to this tale,
Roberto's heritage, a legendary trail, With humor and sarcasm,
we'll make you smile, In this hardcore rap, we go the extra mile!

Duran was a beast. His era had some beasts. Also an earlier fighter I think, Salvador Sanchez(Ecuadorian) is also a great one.

Current one is David Benavidez(born in Arizona) ,a fantastic boxer.

Then there was the Puerto Rican great Hector 'Macho' Comacho

In a legendary and often overlooked career, he accumulated an impressive record of 79-6-3 with 38 knockouts and several high-profile wins. He would win four world championships in three weight divisions and challenge for several more.

He was born in Bayoman, Puerto Rico and died in the same town after getting shot in the face...
