    Why wasn't Benitez considered part of this elite group?

    Because he wasn't as good as the others.

    Because he didn't fight Hagler, that's all.

    Just curious if he wasn't truly good enough, if he just barely missed it, what.

    All the fab 4 fought each other. Benitez would have been included if he beat Hamsho to get his shot vs Hagler. It really is this simple, he didn't meet the criteria for selection.
