    Today, we are all Wilfredo.

    I do remember when Wilfred Benitez had an O on the end of his name, haha.

    Gomez is the clear answer here.

    LOL yeah and in fact, in Puerto Rico people knew him as Wilfred-o, not Wilfred.

    I had to ask his mom if his name was Wilfred or Wilfredo lol...but in Puerto Rico, the 5 Wilfredo world champions are known as the five Wilfredos. Its a shame that Rivera was basically robbed in his first fight with Whitaker of being a member of "th 6 Wilfredos"!

    Any answer besides Gomez is the wrong answer.

    Gomez. Shame Benitez career didn't turn out different, or the answer might be him.

    They should have had their own theme song, like the Banana Splits:

    One Wilfredo, two Wilfredo
    Three Wilfredo, four
    Four Wilfredos make a bunch
    And so do many more

    (Tra la la)
