Greatest Rican fighter Tito, Ortiz, Gomez, or Benitiz

[ericsantos]

Uh...no.

You must be young and I understand you love Tito but Gomez was the best PR ever, period end of discussion. The guy was a beast, his resume was sick and his fights were legendary.

Tito never really had a defining fight IMO. I thought his best fight was his battle with Vargas but I wouldn't put Vargas up there with the competition Gomez fought against.

I also think that Tito lost to DLH but was given a gift. Nothing wrong with losing to DLH because in his prime he was one of the best at that weight.

I repsect Tito but talk to the old timers and they will let you know, Gomez was the best PR has ever produced and I think it will be a long time until we see a fighter like him again.

like i said before ,everyone here has an opinion,In mine and yes i was alive during the Gomez era and i do remember the Gomez fights very well but in my opinion Tito had better opposition

[ericsantos]

Tito had 16 consecutive title defenses, but Gomez had 17 and all won by KO, a fit only done by him in the history of the sport. Plus Gomez resume isnt a joke either

kyum yum
Kobayashi
Lopez x 2
Cruz
Zarate
Jimenez
Mebdoza
Perez
Valdez
Ndukwu - great prostect and Gomez ruined him, like Tito did to Vargas
Holmes
Chava Sanchez - Lost ny KO
Meza
Rubaldino
La Porte
Nelson - Lost by KO
Lockdrige

Plus the dude was 1 of thh greatest AMA fighers from PR.

His resume wasnt a joke either i agree.

I'd say Benitez

I'm suprised nobody has mention Carlos Ortiz

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Carlos Ortiz was a great if not the best Lightweight.

But he was a more technical boxer and never had that defining win, he did beat Busso, Laguna, Elorde and got robbed against Locche, but he never had that defining win.

Skills wise, he could hang with any LW in the history of boxing.

too sad his resume is not as ood as his skills

Great fighter indeed!!!

Carlos Ortiz was a hell of a fighter but best light weight maybe all time?????

I would have to say Duran, Armstrong or Gans have to be in that sentence before anyone else...

Gomez is the most skilled, with Trinidad you just had a warrior who never gave up(Huge fan of him but I'll never forgive his ****ty performence with winky..)

Good lookin my dude. I watched Ortiz vs Elorde last weekend. That KO was nasty and very underrated. I'm not a Rican, but yall history is one of the best ever in boxing. I was a huge Tito fan along with Jones, Mosley, and Floyd.
