Boxing Trivia Question #1?

So i have come to realize that the boxing section here on Yahoo is in a sad state. I look around and all i see is questions about Pacquiao, Mayweather, De La Hoya, Tyson, Ali and occassionaly big named fighters from the 1980's, there are a select few in here who actually know who Nicolino Locche, Sandro Mazzinghi, Terry Norris and Michael Nunn were, What i'm trying to get at is, boxing "fans" in here have very limited knowledge of boxing history, so since i rarely ask questions in here, i'm gonna start asking "WHO AM I?" type of questions in hopes that some of you actually take an interest and search for information and trying to find out what boxer is the answer to my questions and of course 10 points will go to whom ever gets the answer right. Hopefully you guys will do your homework and study the fighters who arent known to the common fan but are known to real boxing fans. Well with all that said, here is the first official who am i clues:

1) I am from Argentina

2) I fought in the U.S. once in my career (and lost that bout)

3) I am the first boxer from my country to become a World Champ in any weight division

WHO AM I?????

(This should be easy to find)

Update:

@ Mark W - there are some really boring fights and a few pretty exciting fights, me personally, i dont like the all out wars type of fights, i like fights that are very technical so with that said, my favorite Mazzinghi fight is when he fought Tony Montano, i have about 40 of his fights on DVD myself.

    Just wondering, I don't know much about Mazzinghi and have been wanting to buy some of his fights but don't know which ones to get so what are some of his better fights, whether it be action wise or just a superlative performance.

    I believe that it's Carlos Monzon. He is generally regarded as the best fighter P4P ever from Argentina, and his only fight in the U.S was in 1975 at Madison Square Garden against Tony Licata.

    i think of many of the rustic replace into listening whilst Louis fought Schmeling interior the rematch in 38 as Germany replace into waging conflict in Europe and Schmeling replace into considered because of the fact the undesirable guy nonetheless he particularly wasn't as he in no way agreed to Hitler's conflict device. whilst Louis knocked him out in one around it sent a sparkling message to Hitler that they did not have some type of extra suitable race.
