Simple question. You would call Ortiz's Puerto Ricos greatest fighter? I say Wifredo Gomez
I have Ortiz slightly ahead of Gomez simply because Ortiz was able to redem himself and beat back all but 3 of 7 guys that beat him. I also think edge goes to Ortiz on opposition.
Gomez fully dominated and held one belt at Super Bantam thought IMO he should have been DQ'd for hitting Zarate while he was on the canvas already. He fought well and good opposition much props to him for moving up in weight it just wasn't to be. All in all anyone can make a good arguement why one or the other is better I personally side with Ortiz.
I say Gomez, but I can see Ortiz's case. And don't really have a problem with him being called number 1
Why do you give Gomez the edge?
Cuz I seen more of his fights. A lot more. I seen about 3 of Ortiz's fights (he is a lot older fighter). I have a hard time finding his fights. If I see more, than I might change my mind. Till than, I say Gomez. His destruction of Carlos Zarate and battles with Lupe Pintor and Juan LaPorte were great. His losses to Azumah Nelson and Salvador Sanchez are nothing to be ashamed of.

Gotcha'.....
What exactly did you get him on?
Gotcha' is like saying 'I got it' or 'I understand'
