Greatest Mexican and one of the greatest ever regardless of nationality, the one, the only, Grand Champion - Julio Cesar Chavez!
Greatest Puerto Rican is a little less obvious and a little less prestigious. No offense to PR but they haven't EVER produced anyone of the quality and longevity and enduring legacy of a truly top level ATG, such as Chavez or Morales or Barrera and so on. Some damn good fighters though, second tier greats like:
Cotto
Rosario
Vazquez
Camacho
But the best ever, it's really a toss up between Tito, Ortiz, Gomez and Benitez. Benitez gets credit has being, quite possibly the best in terms of conservative boxing skills but Tito was the mega star who could punch....as was Gomez. Ortiz is the classical legend.
I'm gonna hand it to Tito.
