    Even if I might pick Benitez, I wouldn't say that Benitez is a different class of fighter. I think Benitez had the defensive slickness to outpoint Manny but I'd say Manny is the greater fighter overall.

    Probably Benitez just for his style and size.

    Wilfred Benitez by unanimous decision over Manny Paquaio. Manny is speedy, but El Radar is very hard to hit and is a quicker counter puncher, and his losses were to all time greats. At welterweight it is a closer fight, 154 is too much for Manny.

    In fairness, he fought the non slick David Diaz.

    I'm not certain Benítez takes a flush Pacquiao onslaught without showing ill effects, but I'm more certain Pacquiao doesn't land one.

    Benítez UD15, wide.

    At 147, Benitez by comfortable UD.

    At 154, Benitez by late KO.
