1981 Wilfred Benitez vs. 2007 Floyd Mayweather at 154 lbs

Benitez wide UD.

If it's 15 rounds, he could get a late stoppage, but I doubt it.

I've only seen Benitez on ESPN Classic and You Tube. He fought the better competition, but I think Mayweather out-quicks him just enough to win a decision.

 

Well find out!!! Benitez is a great andIMHO great to watch! Youngest World Champ...Youtube has plenty of footage! Cervantes is a great one to start with!!!

Benitez actually fared well moving up in weight. DLH is the only Floyd fight I recall in this range, so it is a bit harder to judge him based off of one fight. To me both are brilliant counter punchers which does not always or even usually translate into an exciting fight...for purists though this would be a brilliant tactical display. I would lean towards Benitez, but with the lack of evidence of PBF at this weight makes it even more speculation than most hypotheticals!
