    This guy has uploaded some cracking fights for all the boxing fans on youtube, and I'm particularly taken back by the footage of Benitez in this pre-fight introduction to his fight with Melvin Dennis. 18 years of age, watching him train and talking to father. I don't know, I love it. Check it out.

    Benitez vs Floyd Sr would've been a nice match-up. I wonder why it never happened...

    That's the reaction I have while reading most of your posts.

    You don't think it would have been interesting to see Mayweather's shoulder roll defense against Benitez's "radar"?

    No. i'm into flying fists, not shoulder rolls. The guy you want to talk to is Robbi. He thinks you can whip Hagler with just a shoulder roll

    It's sad to see the condition Wilfred is in now and seeing this. El Radar

    I've never pitted Mayweather against Hagler in a fantasy match-up. You need to lay off the fresh air. :D

    Benitez was simply a genius..I always enjoy watching him fight. He was special.
