    Mayweather by a clear margin at 140 and 147.
    At 154 where Benitez is at his absolute best I think he stands a good chance.

    I initially voted mayweather then changed it to “ no vote. “ I’m really not sure.

    I think a peak trained and conditioned Benitez wins. He was a superb technical fighter-- every bit as good as Floyd defensively with more in his arsenal (significantly better puncher, stronger, and quicker.)

    Yeah, Benitez from the Duràn bout shows everyone he could actually defeat Leonard if he could.

    Thinking Benitez could win this is pure delusion.

    Oh, please. If you ever post a take that isn’t to one extreme or the other I will drop dead of adrenal shock. This is a very competitive fight.

    Floyd does every single thing better than Benitez except getting hit.

    In a fight where both are trying to avoid getting hit? Wow it’s got shutout for Mayweather written all over it.

    I think it would be a close fight.

    Benitez had more power.

    But its hard to pick against money.
