Carlos Ortiz was considered by most boxing fans and pundits as one of the greatest, if not the greatest Puerto Rican boxer of all time.

One could say that Carlos Ortiz was a sort of trailblazer. After Ortiz won the first of his three titles in 1959, 19 Puerto Rican boxers won at least one world title in every decade since.

Ortiz Came Of Age During Rugged Times

Ortiz was born on September 9, 1936, in Ponce, Puerto Rico, during the Great Depression. Like most of the world, Puerto Rico's economy was affected by the severe economic downturn and World War 2.

During the 1940s, Puerto Rico's economy transitioned from a monocultural plantation economy into a platform for factory export production. This and other factors led to The Great Puerto Rican Migration of the 1940s. Starting in 1945, native Puerto Ricans left the island for the United States, looking for employment and a better way of life. According to the Center of Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College, it is estimated that over 4,200 Puerto Ricans would arrive in the United States each year between 1946-1956, and most of them would settle in New York City. In 1947 when Carlos was 8 years old, his family left Puerto Rico and they settled in New York City.

Puerto Ricans that came to the United States during this period faced many hardships, including poverty, unemployment, language barriers, and discrimination. Surviving the streets of New York City often meant that one had to learn how to fight. Ortiz was no exception. In a 2016 interview, Ortiz told writer Robert Ecksel, "in my time you came over here, it was strangers in paradise. People didn't like intruders. I used to get my ass kicked every day. Any place I went to in the city, I was always beat up, because I was Spanish. I had to survive. I had to find a way to protect myself. And then I got into boxing."

Ortiz Starts Snagging World Championships

In 1948 Ortiz started boxing at the Madison Squares Boys Club. The Puerto Rican native became a professional in 1955. Between 1955-1959, Carlos would fight 32 times and amass a record of 29-2 (1 NC) before he challenged Kenny Lane for the junior welterweight title on June 12, 1959. Ortiz avenged a loss to Lane six month prior and won a majority decision to become the junior welterweight champion.

Mind you, that time wasn't like this era, which has titles being bandied about like trinkets from a gumball machine. the young Puerto Rican champion successfully defended that title twice before losing it in a rematch to tough Italian boxer Duillio Loi in 1960.
