    Gomez.

    Benitez was the most talented but not exactly the most dedicated guy.

    Carlos Ortiz is easily the best on that list. Of course he came in last on the Showtime poll.

    :shit:

    It has always been Ortiz, for me ---though my personal favourite is Benitez. No Cocoa Kid, Jose Torres, Sixto Escobar, Pedro Montanez, Jose Basora...but Felix Trinidad & Miguel Cotto are nominated. What a joke.

    I would not even have Cotto, in particular, ahead of Hector Camacho or Edwin Rosario.

    Yup. If only his father stepped out of the way... what could've been.

    My list, in order:

    Ortiz
    Gomez
    Benitez
    Trinidad
    Cotto
