Wilfredo Gomez
Wilfred Gomez held three world titles during his career. These included the WBC Super Bantamweight, WBC Featherweight and WBA Junior Lightweight. He also held the record for 42 knockouts during his career between 1974 and 1989.
“Bazooka” Gomez is the best fighter to come out of Puerto Rico. He is known for his devastating punching power, winning 32 straight fights by knockout and his wars with Mexican legends Carlos Zarate, Salvador Sanchez and Lupe Pintor.
The fight with Zarate still holds the record for highest combined knockout percentage of any two fighters to step foot inside a ring. Zarate entered at 55-0 with 54 KOs, while Gomez was 32-0-1 with 32 KOs.
