    I don't think Robby stops him but he wins a chess match decision. That Leonard stoppage was bogus - Padilla overreacted or it was something else involved in his decision is the reason he waved it off.

    WTF are you talking about?

    Two of Benitez's best performances came at 154 (Duran and Hope).

    He was not the same fighter by al all accounts by the time he was at 154

    Robinson beats Benitez by 14th round TKO.

    I feel like a fight between Benitez and Robinson would more closely resemble the Hearns fight than the Leonard one.

    He had a few of his most impressive performances there. Just no real longevity.
