Hahaha, you have to be taking the **** with this comment. Go back and read your original post where you reference 'Chocolate' completely out of the blue! My reference to 'Chocolate' had inverted commas around it for a reason. But you clearly missed that nuance!
Ortiz easily in my opinion, George. He was a truly great fighter. I would rank Benitez well above Gomez even though Gomez looked incredible at times. 122 was considered to be a fairly bogus division back in the days when Gomez was making all those defences against a pretty mediocre line up of contenders. Zarate was aging and was a bantamweight going up in weight. It was a very good win by Gomez but he should have been fighting at featherweight earlier as that was where the real action was. Benitez managed to perform at an absolute world class level from 140 to 154 and he fought prime versions of Leonard and Hearns and was competitive with both. He also boxed Duran’s ears off at 154 and one punch kayoed Mo Hope who was a pretty good fighter. That puts him ahead of Gomez for mine. Cheers Mate.
Basora beat Zivic Lamotta Williams x2 And drew with Robinson Those results **** all over anything Papp ever did!
I love how he's ranting and raving ridiculous, inarguable views (over an article, not a post; I might add) and even when the vast majority tell him to have a word he still remains adamant HE'S the one in the right. Talk about a superiority complex! Borders on Perry levels.
I think ,aggaravating as he was, Perry had a bit more going for him,It was just that "I lived through those times," that got up my nose a bit. he used to imply he was an insider,"Ive been around gyms for years",etc I once asked him in what capacity ? He never replied.
Roberto Duran is a legend in a way that Juan Manuel Lopez clearly is not. You see? I can connect two completely unrelated things as well!
