This day in boxing. A look back.

[Spicoli]

Only older Puerto Rican boxing fans remember and thus rate Carlos Ortiz as one of the greatest Puerto Rican fighters. Typical I guess, of any sport and most places. Carlos' trilogy with Ismael Laguna was one of the greatest in its time.
When asked to list the greatest Puerto Rican fighters ever... few nowadays include Ortiz on the list... a list to which he most certainly belongs.

Seems it's bit all over the boards but he rates very high. As with much of the sport I think we can easily fall into a 'what I lived I actually know' mind set. What have you done for us recently. Some lists rate a Cotto, Trinidad, Rosario or Camacho pretty high but truth is imo they couldn't hold a candle to the technical prowess of Ortiz.
