Trinidad is overrated, everybody knows that, he doesn't have a defineing win. Carlos Ortiz and Wilfredo Gomez both rank at the top of their weight classes. Trinidad doesn't and Jose Basora defeated Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake La Motta, at Welterweight, the greatest of all tyme. So there he doesn't rank over Wilfred Benitez, for sure, so all thats left is Trinidad or Edwin, for your crappy listLast edited by NChristo; 12-06-2010, 01:30 PM.Comment

on basora
The official round-by-round scorecards were: Daggert, 4-4-2; Lasky 5-4-1 in favor of Basora; Knaresborough 6-4 in favor of Robinson. It was a hard-fought but not exciting battle, except for several sizzling exchanges. Basora counterpunched effecively. Robinson landed more punches but missed a lot. Neither fighter seemed able to hurt the other. Basora's manager, Chris Dundee, said "We ain't satisfied with a draw." Robinson said "I did my beat but wasn't at my best. Basora is a tough boy, maybe not so tough as Jake LaMotta, but tough enough.
His next fight has been described by boxing historians as Basora's finest moment (an opinion that has been argued as other boxing historians claim that his win over LaMotta should be held as Basora's best moment). Regardless, Basora met Sugar Ray Robinson for the first time on May 14, 1945, holding the man considered by many to be boxing's all time best fighter to a ten round draw in PhiladelphiaComment
