I just want to explain, for the record, that calling his fight with Saldivar a "super fight" is not a point of view: in boxing, many fights get advertised as "super fights", this was the case of Jofre-Saldivar. It doesnt mean that the fight was actually a great fight to watch.

"Antonio Window Watcher Martin"

[edit] ==Greatest Fighter Ever==

He is. Maybe not as charismatic as Robinson or as prolific as Greb, but Jofre's talent is up there. Yeah, i might be exaggerating a little, but I just wanted to give the man his due.

[edit] 5"11 height?

I doubt that he was 5"11, I think a fighter that is supposedly that tall wont fight in a crouching style.i think he was 5"6 tops

[edit] Vegetarian

I'd read in a boxing book years ago that Jofre had been taken to a slaughterhouse as a youngster and was so upset by the visit that he later became a vegetarian, and throughout his boxing career. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Opusv5 (talk • contribs) 13:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
