I think Benítez was brilliant but a bit inconsistent. Trinidad was more dominant and had a great run but Benítez was a real prodigy and, arguably, the best technical boxer developed in Puerto Rico. I think Camacho is the most technical but he was developed in the USA.
Yes, Benitez had alot of natural talent, but unfortunately he had a reputation of not training much before fights.
It's sad because not only could have been the greatest to come from PR, but one of the greatest point blank. But he was lazy.
I would put Macho in the top 10.
Great, great technician.
lol damn, quoted me before the edit.
But yeah, he's the greatest to come from the island.
I would put Ortiz & Benitez over Tito, but Tito's top 5.

I would say that is undisputed. I don't think anyone will surpass Gómez. Trinidad is #2 on my list.

He will get int.... titles in 3 divisions, beat alot of champs.... Only lost to great fighters (aside from margo)... And his career isn't finished yet... Yes getting another title soon I hope!
Wilfredo "Bazooka" Gomez
Greatest fighter to come from PR IMO.
