Which Wilfredo ranks higher: Gomez or Benitez?

Gomez. Not by a great deal, but clear enough.

 

Benitez probably. Very close.

 

Benitez . Cleaner fighter as far as i currently know which is not much about him , and was drained against Leonard when Leonard stopped him . Went d distance with Hearns , Duran and Palomino and actually outpointed d latter 2 .
Hearns outdid him by far vs both Duran and Bruce Curry as well as outpointed him in person , and did only slightly worse vs Leonard but i believe Hearns was more drained than Benitez was against Leonard so Hearns does rank higher , and p4p i m not high on either Hearns , Leonard , Hagler or Benitez . Over time i may rate Duran lower than i do now , may even go as far as ranking him below Griffith :yep .
Neither man in my top 90 at least and neither makes d top 70 of d last 40 years .

 

Gomez.

 

Gomez for me as well.

 

Bazooka

 

Benitez got stopped by Sanchez, c'mon now.

 

Benitez. Gomez didn't universally prove his greatness until Pintor. El Radar dethroned two IBHOFers, successfully defended against a P4P ATG, and won his third championship in devastating fashion over a highly credible defender in Hope. Zarate is huge for Gomez, but El Cholo, Pambele, Palomino and Hope trump Zarate and Pintor in my book.

 

Didn't Benitez go by Wilfred, not Wilfredo?

 

Benitez solidly beat Duran.

 

:goodCountered him silly all night.

 

Gomez

 

I second that. Gomez's win over Maurice Hope is underated. I love the science of boxing but sometimes I struggle to watch Benetiz, he could be so unspectaculor.

 

Wilfredo Gomez,,,,,,,

Clearly a more impressive resume.

Take into consideration his amateur career as well.
