    it sue wasnt leonard benitez; it put me to sleep. might as well watch golfing

    still cant figure why people even talk about this fight. I would say Whitaker-Nelson. at least he was trying to win the fight which is more than i could say for Benitez.

    Pernell always won his fights in convincing fashion. No way was Nelson on the downside. I saw him the way he took out Fenech, a tough fighter in his prime 3 years after the loss to Pernell. I think the nelson fight was very noteworthy

    leonard-benitez was an amazing win but it was reasonably competitive.

    whereas Peas was a potential shut out over another ATG and P4Per at the time. That is truly astonishing he made it look so easy.
