If anyone heard the news. This week we lost the legendary Wilfredo "Bazooka" Gomez and we lost another legend in the former WBA Middleweight Champion Jorge "Locomotra" Castro who passed away at the aged of 59.

RIP Champ

Castro had a really interesting career. Went from Middleweight to Cruiserweight, fought a lot of big names. Has a good record numerically at least, but didn't get a ton of big wins, but he does have a few.

RIP Jorge

Yeah, some record he had.

RIP

Does Castro crack the all time Top 10 for Agentinian fighters? Probably so right? There's not a ton of big name fighters from that part of the world.

Carlos Monzon is certainly the all time greatest from Argentina I'd say, but Castro probably falls somewhere into that Country's Top 10 right?

Sergio Martinez, Victor Galindez, Pascual Perez, Marcos Maidana. Then you got Oscar Bonavena and Luis Firpo. I feel like he could rank ahead of a few of those guys, but below most of them.

Can't forget Locche either. The Argentinian version of Pep.

Lausse was better, imo.
