    I'm probably the biggest Benitez fan on this forum, but Gomez definitely ranks higher.

    Now who was better? That's a more complicated question.

    Benitez on top form was probably the best Puerto Rico ever produced. It also helps his cause that he moved up in weight more successfully than Gomez.

    But Gomez was more consistently dominant, and I have him ranked higher in terms of greatness.

    Two great fighters. Gomez was probably a little better overall.
