Ataulfo X Kent

Because their both commercial and I just cannot imagine a taste profile with a mix of both.

Of course, you could cross 2 mangos you like and get something totally different than either one and truly awful.  :)

Okrung pollinated by a Maha. Wait 7 to 10 years and find out you have a fibrous donkey mango or something pretty good
