    Venezuela had dozen of world champions..... but not one is in the Hall of Fame (I know, I always mention the Hall of Fame, it gets annoying) but I find it funny that they didn't have that guy that got to that level of.... fame......worldwide.
    It's always a belt holder that don't have too much consistency.

    Anyway, I talked with venezuelans about boxing before and they do know their main fighters over there, particularly Antonio Esparragoza, Antonio Marcano and yes.. Edwin Valero are known...

    So, I guess it is between those below:

    Antonio Esparragoza
    Antonio Marcano
    Betulio Gonzalez
    Edwin Valero
    Fulgencio Obelmejias
    Vincente Rondon

    I was going to say Jorge Linares too.. but maybe not as deserving, I dont know.
