Peak Wilfred Benitez Versus Peak Floyd Mayweather

Benitez UD

 

It all depends what weight this takes place at Benitez could be hit and miss with his performances.

At Jr Welterweight he had a very good performance against Antonio Cervantes.

At Welterweight his performances were hit and miss got a gift decision vs Bruce Curry and a draw against Harold Weston. But then in rematches he beat them far more convincingly and also beat Carlos Palomino in a good performance.

At Jr Middleweight Benitez had some of his best performances he schooled Roberto Duran and knocked out Maurice Hope.

Overall at 140 I think Mayweather was close to his peak whilst Benitez was still a teenager so Mayweather would win a decision for me.

At 147 Benitez was a bit hit and miss for me as I said above whilst Mayweather no longer had any power at 147 with his bad hands. I'd still favour Mayweather by decision but it would probably be a more boring fight at 147 as Mayweather was less aggressive.

At 154 I'd favour Benitez I think it was arguably his best weight for a short period whilst 154 I'd say was Mayweathers weakest weight so Benitez wins a decision for me at 154.

 

I’d pick Benitez, assuming it’s best vs. best and you’d have to assume they’d both be up for it.

 

In your seven years here, I haven't witnessed you ever picking against a Puerto Rican.
