In my opinion Benitez is without a doubt the most talented fighter ever from PR. We will never know how good he could have been. He had bad training habits along with drug/gambling problems.

I went for Benitez. he had the best wins and accomplished the most...not to mention on his best days he was almost untouchable(unless thrown up against some of the best fighters of all time, who were also bigger than him)
your options are good, but Ill throw a shout out to Carlos Ortiz and Edwin Rosario, who definately should be in the conversation.
just random shout outs to Samuel Serrano, Camacho, Angel Espada, Carlos DeLeon, and Jose Torres, who were all excellent fighters.

Edwin just ran into a prime JCC.

Camacho himself is pretty underrated. one of the fastest fighters Ive ever seen. so fluid with his punches, I would even go as far to say he was quicker than Ray Leonard with single shots.
too bad he completely screwed up his career after the Rosario fight.
I also had Rosario beating Camacho.

He reported to his trainer he was pissing blood, I loved it. Especially after all the racist **** he said about Mexicans prior to the fight.
