    Puerto Rico's boxing heritage can be traced to Carlos Ortiz.

    Arguably the GOAT from Puerto Rico (I'd say yes, but a case could be made for Gomez, perhaps).

    Inarguably one of the ten best lightweights to have ever stepped inside the ring. Just a brilliant boxer-puncher at his best.

    RIP. Seen some of footage of him in action and I remember reading bits and pieces about him over the years so I'm aware of the high regard he's held in as fighter

    I'm sure he's one of the 40 world champions featured in this great book I read
