Review: Great overview of the greatest latin boxers including but not limited to Alexis Arguello, Carlos Ortiz, Roberto Duran, Salvador Sanchez, etc. The recap of fights are great and the memories and advice they give are unforgettable

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I believe that this video compilation of latin fighters is by far the most serious and comprehensive today. Just seeing the great Salvador Sanchez reaching the apex of his career and the interviews of Alexis Arguello and Roberto Duran show you what a latin fighter is all about. My personal opinion is that this is so good that they should make a sequel for this video.

Summary: Ideal for Boxing fans
Review: It was great to see the interviews and fight footage of these great, and in many cases underappreciated, champions of the ring and life. One thing that bothered me though was the inclusion of an interview with Jose Suliaman and his opinion of the Chavez vs. Taylor fight.
Suliaman is one of the sleaziest names in boxing and his opinion that Richard Steele's stoppage of the fight three seconds before the end was justified really angered me. Meldrick Taylor would've won the fight if not for the stoppage and now he is broke, severely brain damaged, and still an active fighter. As anyone who saw him interviewed on HBO's Legendary Fights would agree this is very sad.

Review: Nice Attempt At A Tribute To The Latin Legends
This is an interesting, but limited view.
It's good for anyone interested in the Latin Legends - or any boxing fan to watch on a crummy weekend or if you have an hour and a half to kill.
The DVD focuses on Kid Gavilan, Carlos Ortiz, Salvador Sanchez, Alexis Arguello, Julio Cesar Chavez and - one of my personal favorites - Roberto "Hands Of Stone" Duran.
It really is a nice attempt at a tribute - there are some great highlights and bios on these great champs, but it truly falls short.
There is just not enough. It seemed incomplete and unfocused. I wanted more clips and highlights and simply - I wanted more complete information. I expected better and expected more.
As a whole this is a good DVD - not great, but good.

Summary: latin boxers fight for country and family
Review: The fight clips were exciting and the interviews and story behind each fighter is fantastic. the special DVD enhancements which include slow motion punches, stats, Bios and segmented fight clips is great.. The beginning with the two purple cows fighting starts the program off with a little humor. A must have collectors edition.

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: This DVD included 6 champions who are Alexis Arguello, Roberto Duran, Julio Cesar Chavez, Kid Gavilan, Salvador Sanchez and Carlos Ortiz. However, this DVD only showed a fraction of their career highlights.Few seconds of fight actions looked like from TV programs were shown for each fight. Here are some of the highlights: Only 6 fights for Arguello including two losses vs. Aaron Pryor. Only 3 fights for Chavez: 45 seconds vs Taylor with Richard Steel stopped that fight with 4 seconds left; 10 seconds vs. Mario Martinez; only few pictures vs. Edwin Rosario. Only 6 fights for Duran: showed only pictures vs. Davey Moore and Iran Barkley, showed 30 second vs. Sugar Ray, Leonard I. You will not see vs Sugar Ray Leonard II and III, no Duran vs. Hearns, no Duran vs. Hagler... A lot of repeated materials filled in this DVD. Quality of commentary and interviews is poor. If you are buying for boxing actions, look for something else.

Review: This was a fun and inspiring video to watch. It was great to see clips of and interviews with Arguello, Duran, Gavilan, Sanchez, Ortiz and Chavez. Just one thing troubled me the inclusion of Jose Suliaman and his opinion of the Chavez vs. Taylor fight. Suliaman is one of Don King's right hand men and as many people know Meldrick Taylor would've won the fight had Richard Steele not stopped it three seconds before the end of the fight. Meldrick Taylor is now severely brain damaged, and broke with several children to support and the way this film made it look Chavez was the unquestioned victor of the fight and the decision was just. Very sad.
