    At welter Mayweather Jr. Never faced anyone close to prime Benitez's ability (Actually Mayweather jr never faced anyone close to his unique skill set at all) plus Benitez's natural size advantage and Mayweather Jr. Lack of punching power that could get Benitez's respect..... Benitez by unanimous dec.

    Mayweather by a close decision, his skillset saves him from his lack of activity

    Benitez UD in a snoozer. Floyd's tactics would not work well with Wilfred.

    Benitez in a very interesting fight where neither guy lands much. Benitez close UD. It would be so tactical

    Mayweather in a competitive but clear decision win. Could very well be a snoozer in all honesty.

    I’d probably lean towards Benitez at his best.

    Benitez from 77-was great. Watch him destroy Shields. I would take him 140 or 147 or 154 over the best Mayweather at those weights.
    I think Mayweather was great at 130; not so much moving up without the firepower and 1 punch at a time safety first approach..

    Benitez fought a draw in 77 to Harold Weston. That is a worse singular result than anything in Mayweather's 20 year career.

    I BEG to differ! Weston was a terrific fighter if you know about him. Read his whole history. I wouldn't bet on Floyd over him. Learn your history man. Read about his fights. Dont just look at pathetic boxrec.
    Btw, have I been too rough with you??
