    Today my name is hardly mentioned, but I was probably the best P4P fighter my country produced. I fought often and everywhere packing
    arenas when I fought. I would give every fighter my weight a hell of
    a tussle. Who am I.?

    No B, but Pedro Montanez in my eyes was the best Puerto Rican fighter ever...

    Bingo Al. Ted Kid Lewis it is. Years ago when I was growing up Ted Kid Lewis
    was always mentioned with the greatest welterweights of all time. Today
    he is sadly forgotten. But with the staggering number of 282 bouts in his belt and a world title Ted kid Lewis would more than hold his own with
    about any Welterweight in history...
