    'mano, tons of puerto ricans don't know about him, I have no idea why. He's still alive, does interviews in new york, fully bilingual, completely slept on.

    The first round of Hearns v. Benitez is one of the greatest displays of defense ive ever seen. Hearns came out blazing throwing everything at Benitez and the "Radar" was on full blast.

    One of the greatest when it came to all around skills. Mr.Benitez from power to his defense. Even with the short notice, cut in his forehead, he went 15 rounds with Leornard. Three weight champ and the youngest ever to be champ at 17 and three division champ. Let's not forget the classic Ko against Hope. One of the greatest of all time. And the best staredowns in boxing. Benitez one of the greatest and most underrated fighters ever.

    :deal I see that MMA/WWE type **** staredowns I laugh my ass off. What the hell is that ****?

    Benitez stared down opponents with this arrogance of "Really? You really wanna do this? You know I own this ring right?" Back straight, head high, black glaring through the slit in his eyelids. His staredowns against Leonard, Benitez, and Duran were incredible.

    Check out how Benitez humiliated Duran in the last round of their bout
