    I believe that with the deaths of Carlos Ortiz and Robert Cohen, Harold Gomes becomes the last living world champion of the 1950s.

    RIP Champ. Arguably the greatest PR boxer ever.

    Is it bad that I mistakenly thought this was Luis Ortiz passing away from Alzheimer’s or something..

    RIP Carlos

    Ortiz has 5 wins over HOF fighters such as Flash Elorde, Ismael Laguna, Joe Brown, Duilio Loi, and Sugar Ramos (arguably 6 if you count Nicolino Locche). That's greater than Bazooka's best wins IMO.

    Larry Merchant’s favorite fighter if I’m not mistaken.

    I’ve heard Larry praise him along the years.

    One of the most well-rounded fighters I've ever seen. The greatest Puerto Rican fighter of all-time. Rest easy, champ.
