Fighters are a different breed of people in this world, with unmatched bravery and fearlessness. A great boxer is hard to come by, especially with how competitive the boxing scene is in today’s age and throughout history. Luckily, Latino culture has been able to celebrate and honor many great boxers over the course of history in the ring. With all the fantastic and historic Latino boxers that have put on the gloves, it is near impossible to decide who the 5 very best were, but we have to at least try. Of course the order of this list is objective, but also the order that I think is most plausible.
Juan Manuel Marquez
Marquez is a Mexican Boxer who was a powerhouse in the sport for many years spanning a 19 year career. His long lasting career brought in 4 belts in 4 different weight categories which is a very impressive feat. Marquez was also a part of multiple iconic fights with boxing Icon Manny Pacqio.
Felix “Tito’ Trinidad

Trinidad is a Puerto Rican boxer and possibly the best from that nation. He was a boxer for 18 years securing 3 belts in 3 different weight classes. He retired with a career record of 43.3
Roberto Duran
Nicknamed the “Hands of Stone,” Durán was a championship fighter who went toe to toe with Sugar Ray. Durán competed in 5 different decades giving him one of the longest boxing careers of all time. Duran held several belts and is undoubtedly the best boxer to ever come out of Panama. It’s known that he once ran 280 miles and sparred 162 rounds in one fight camp to prepare for a fight, that’s what made him be called the Hands of Stone.
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez

Canelo Alvarez is the most recent boxer on the list which is interesting because his career is ongoing. Although his best fights may be behind him, Alvares is a legend in his own respects holding multiple belts in multiple divisions and weight classes. Some people may not know that his first name is actually Saul. Canelo is a nickname given to him meaning “cinnamon” for his red hair. Canelo has been making Mexico proud for over a decade now. With a record of 59-2-2 there is no doubt he was once the best in the world, the only question now is how does he compare to the greats.
Julio Cezar Chavez
The best Latino boxer, arguably just boxer in general, might have to be Julio Chavez. Born in Mexico and fought from 1980 to 2005, in a 25 year career Chaves reached a record of 107-6-2!
The man almost fought 120 professional boxing fights! He won 100 fights in 25 years! Some people may not think that is very impressive but that would mean 4 fights a year on average which would mean that Chavez was practically always in fight camp. An unbelievable dedication and career, which is what earned him the Number 1 spot.
