    135lb Duran is one of the best fighters ever caught on film. More skilled than Benitez.

    It's because Loma has a functional and very aesthetically pleasing style. Which is quite rare.

    Result = over hype.

    I agree. But Benitez is up there as one of most underrated fighters ever

    Benitez definitely isn't underrated. Just forgotten / undermentioned.
