        I'll go ahead and say Mexico has a better list.

        Then again, we have like 10 times their population so we better have the better list. Both countries have a great boxing tradition. And the Mexico - Puerto Rico rivalry is THE best in the sport.

            Wilfred Benitez, Wilfredo Gomez and Hector Camacho were some of the greatest and most exciting fighters of all time.

            I remember particularly Benitez' intense rivalry with fellow all-time greats Duran, Hearns and Leonard.

            Gomez in my opinion if the best P4P among the Puerto Ricans. He packs a KO punch in both hands and at one time in his career he won 32 consecutive fights by KO!!

            Notwithstanding his present travails, Macho was one of the most prolific and exciting boxers of his era, having fought and defeated some of the boxing legends of his time like Duran, Leonard and Edwin Rosario!

            Cheers to these great Puerto Rican warriors!!!!

              Camacho defeated a 39 year old leonard....
              and a Duran that was over 40 years old....

              both those fighters would **** him in their primes

              but he is good

                Thanks for clearing that up, I thought we were invisable , now go away. So can we focus on the list, and not compare it to others, for reasons of being biased.

                    If you really believe that then you're definately not too knowledgeable. Or you probably became a boxing fan like 5 years ago.

                      I agree. Looks like he doesn't know who Ortiz, Benitez, Gomez, Camacho and Rosario were in their time.

                      Really, let's give it to these Puerto Rican guys. They were among the best and the greatest in boxing history.
