Many boxing fans called him “The Mexican assassin” and let me tell you why. Mexican fighters are consider among the toughest and roughed boxing warriors you will ever see in the ring. Their style of fighting is one of boxing favorites and their all out attack or do or die psyche electrifies many boxing fans. You know you are in a real fight when you fight a Mexican. Yes, defeating a few Mexicans boxers will not only give you a warrior reputation but when you defeat 9 of these tough warriors to be exact, you become “A Mexican assassin” and a great warrior. This list includes some legends and future Hall of Famers such as Barrera, Morales, Marquez, De La Hoya and the rest; you can say were more or less your average fighter.

It is not easy for a boxer to be called “A Great Warrior” or “A Mexican assassin” in the world of boxing. In order to accomplish this you must first pass the ultimate survival test. This test is not a onetime shot like in other sports but one that requires you to have years of endurance, skills, smartness and most of all a huge heart. Many boxers in history have strived to reach this ultimate pinnacle in boxing but only a few have accomplished it. “A dream of many but a reality of only a few”. That’s why it is a very distinctive honor and quite an achievement for a boxer to be called “A Great Warrior”, especially in a sport where life and death is only one punch away. Come November 13 this legendary assassin will display his skills to the boxing world once again against another tough Mexican warrior Antonio Margarito. Have no doubt the list will be increase to 10. This legends name is Manny Pacquiao and he is from the island of the Filipinas.
