Benitez was a very good fighter but I don't see why anyone would think that he's a step above Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I think that Sweet Pea would struggle to score enough points against Floyd, particularly at 147. A bad matchup that takes away some of his usual competitive advantages.

I agree with you that the Oscar fight was far closer than many people let on but I only gave him 5 rounds (and I thought that I was a bit of an outlier there).

I think that Floyd's status will actually increase in the future, when people who currently dislike him because of his persona get more time to reflect on his amazing defensive prowess, ring smarts, and punching accuracy.

You may be right about that.

But, I think his style will make people forget about him. Whitaker does not get a lot of mentions either. People ( including me) gravitate to the more exiting fighting styles more often than not.

Floyd is going to lose to all 3.

Oscar beat him, Whitaker fought even with a much younger Oscar in his prime, Beneitez is a step above.

I just don't see Floyd doing anything to ATG fighters. He fails to do more than outpoint lesser fighters, he lacks killer instinct, and I see yellow in his heart.

Floyds status will go down as time goes on.
