    Sorry but Floyd has this. Wilfred was a jittery boxer who mostly bounced on his toes plus he didn't have Floyd's eyes and awareness. Floyd is more economical and doesn't waste energy or gets caught as much as Benitez. Floyd also can slip, roll and dodge better. It's not close.

    Yeah, post some vids and prove me wrong. Make sure they showcase "elusiveness" as the thread suggests.

    If Mayweather fought Benitez' opposition, he sure as **** wouldn't be, I guarantee you that.

    :lol:Well, I can tell you haven't watch much, if any, of Benitez. He was pretty much the opposite of your description.

    Floyd is better at blocking punches with his arms/rolling them off. Benitez was better at slipping and generally evading the blows altogether. And he could do it in the pocket and off the ropes as well as anyone.
