    Now about the top WW, well that's all to your opinion...

    I mean you have fighters like Cocoa Kid who is all forgotten about. But what an amazing fighter he was in his time fighting some of the best fighters of his time. Fighters like 'Kid' Kaplan, Lou Ambers, Kid Azteca and Charley Burley among others... But I haven't seen much of him to say he's the best.

    For me it's Trinidad, Cotto, Santos, Cintron, Quintana, Espada and Rivera.

    I didn't list Benitez because I rate him at LMW which is where I believe he did his best work.
    I think Benitez did enough at 147 to be rated ahead of Cotto. I mean damn how can you not rate Benitez at 147, but rate Santos? Who did very little at 147. Certainly less than Benitez

    Actually Benitez didn't do as much at Welterweight, his two best wins at Welterweight were Carlos Palomino which is a good win, and Harold Weston, he had better wins at Jr Middleweight including Roberto Duran, Maurice Hope, Carlos Santos.

    Benitez still did more at 147 than Daniel Santos did. You can't rate Santos at 147 and not rate Benitez

    Cotto is still in the early to mid part of his career. IMO he could possibly be known as the best PR boxer of all time by the end of his career, he's a marvelous fighter.

    Totally agree with you there Santos done much more at Jr Middleweight than Welterweight, he has more title wins at Jr Middleweight, and better wins at Jr Middleweight.

    Santo's had 4 title fights at Welterweight and he went 2-1 1 no contest, his best win was against Ahmed Kotiev, at Jr Middleweight he 6 title fights and went 5-1, with wins over Antonio Margarito, Yori Boy Campas, Fulgencio Zungia, Jose Antonio Rivera, etc.

    Don't get me wrong VD, I think Benitez blows Santos and Cotto so far out of there but I rate Benitez at LMW.
    If I had to inlcude Benitez he'd def. be ahead of them but I rate him at LMW.
