Where does Wilfred Benitez rank on the list of the greatest Rican boxers?

Yea. I love defensive fighters & Benitez was amazing. I think he would have beaten any other pr greats. & Cotto is just a beast. No fear in that man. Fights whoever you put in from of him. Doesn't talk a lot of trash, or has a big mouth, (like most pr's do) over all a solid fighter. Never really liked Tito. He hit hard but, yea, not one of my fav's. Gomez was good. Ivan coldren is a great boxer. But my point is, IMHO I like Benitez & Cotto.

#2 after Dulorme

#1 Juanma #2 Calderon #3 Tito #4Gomez #5 Jonathan Oquendo (RIP) #6Ortiz #7Benitez I love it!!

1. Wilfredo Gomez 2.Wilfred Benitez (the youngest world champion in boxing history at the age of 17)

Hey now...:davil2: :rofl: :rofl: I do agree though Cotto's too high.

you mean after may 5th...maybe u be right IF he beats floyd :boxing: even if he were to win May 5th, he would not rank above Gomez, Ortiz, and Benitez.

You leave that great list alone....If you going to criticize anything criticize Cotto spot. :lol1: :lol1: The only way that list could get better is by swapping #5 with #3. I'm joking

Wilfredo Gomez #1 Wilfredo Benitez #2 Felix Trinidad #3 Carlos Ortiz #4 Miguel Cotto #5 Honerable mentions to Rosario, DeJesus, Serrano, Camacho and Torres Trinidad over Ortiz? How?

Wilfredo Gomez #1 Wilfredo Benitez #2 Felix Trinidad #3 Carlos Ortiz #4 Miguel Cotto #5 Honerable mentions to Rosario, DeJesus, Serrano, Camacho and Torres

I haven't seen all of their fights, but I would say top three along with Ortiz and Gomez based on what I have read.

IMO #1 then Cotto. you mean after may 5th...maybe u be right IF he beats floyd :boxing:

Just finished watching his fight with Duran and I was wondering where people rank him. Definitely one of the greatest boxers to come from PR.:boxing: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=539770

Trinidad #1 Gomez#2 Benitez#3 Ortiz#4

Agreed with all of you, easily top 3. Arguably the greatest.

IMO #1 then Cotto. lol, I hope you're kidding, bro. Cotto's my boy, but hell nah.

benitez against mayweather jr at WW would be fun...

IMO #1 then Cotto. :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

IMO #1 then Cotto.

Arguably the # 1 to come out of Puerto Rico along with the other Wilfredo, Carlos, and of course Felix. I think Jro got a list of this in this forum.

im poor at ranking fighters... but benitez unseating a solid HOF (cervantes) from his throne ((JWW) at age 17... beating a close-to-prime solid HOF (palomino) @WW... and clearly out-boxing a steadily declining but still great roberto duran... speak volumes of his greatness... just a shame he was very lazy and had a very short prime...
