gomez, widely IMO
tito is a very good fighter, but i rate benitez above him
tito's records with the ibf belt dont mean much: he won the real title from oscar... not from maurice blocker
yeah i know who they are too. esteban de jesus in his prime was fuckin sick, drugs ruined him though. Only man to beat a prime duran, damn that sounds good. However, i forgot about carlos ortiz, hes better than camacho and esteban.
Don't forget Jose "Chegui" Torres.
You ever saw El Salsero Escalera and Chapo Rosario?

1. wilfredo gomez
2. tito trinidad
3. wilfredo benitez

5. esteban de jesus

Bazooka Gomez. The man was a more complete boxer, as well as having an incredible career on top of that. He was something to behold at 122. His two significant losses were to ATG fighters...no shame in that really.
wilfredo gomez is the best puertorican fighter in my opinion he had better skills than tito and p4p better power he had one of the higest ko ratios in the history of boxing 44 wins with 42 by k.o....he also had a record 17 title defense wins by k.o......while you could make a case for tito being the best welterweight ever ...gomez without dispute was the best at. 122lbs. ever..
Who is the greatest peurto rican ever, wilfredo gomez or tito trinidad.
I think Trinidad was more accomplished holding record in WW defenses, champ in 3 weight classes and 5 times champion overall. But Gomez had like 33-0 with 33 KOs at one point or some crazy shit like that.
