    to help us in making our list of top 100 ATG, i think it would be a good idea to make this poll to see where to place these boxers in the ATG list.

    i rank Benitez higher than Ortiz

    Benitez had the better skills, but Ortiz had the better overall career.

    Ortiz was more consistent, and perhaps "greater"... but El Radar was more talent and at his best better than Ortiz.

    I dont have Ortiz by much Im pretty sure but his longevity and the fact he avenged all his losses in his prime put him ahead of Wilfred...Who did heaps in his short prime but was finished by a young age.

    Asero..I dont know what you mean by "most boring" but if you are trying to say it was a weak era that is far from true.

    ortiz did travel around the world to defend his titles but he defended unpopular lightweights. the attention is at the feather during that time.
