    Benitez was a an absolute legend and became the legitimate champ at 140 at only 18 by dethroning the almost decade long kingpin Antonio Cervantes. Then at the age of 20 he becomes the man at 147 so he’s legitimate HOFer at the age of 20.. Only two guys in this era that even belongs in the ring with him at 147 is Errol and Bud and these guys are already 30+

    I don't think he'd beat Crawford

    Spence would be a close fight.

    He'd be favored over the rest but he also was inconsistent.

    Benitez tools all of these guys. Especially one dimensional fighters like DSG.

    Porter could be a nuisance, but he's yet to effectively swarm(and win) against a top WW now, let alone an ATG.

    Benitez wasn’t the type of fighter who could dominate an era.

    Name one fighter he beat who was on the level of Jeff Horn, Lamont Peterson, Brandon Rios, or Leonard Bundu. Just one. I'll wait

    Curry.

    I'd say Bruce was on their level.
