    A well trained Benitez beats Mayweather Jr. at any weight. Benitez was one of the greatest in boxing history. His only problem was he does not like to train.

    Benitez was just as good, maybe better, defensively, but had a much better attack. He wins this one by UD clearly.

    If Benitez is at the top of his game and so if Floyd, I'd go with Benitez by decision.

    ****KKK NO...he did not have better defense...:patsch:roll: Man these dickheads dont give credit when it is in due time.....Floyd has every aspect of defense mastered hands down from rolling punches to using gloves to even turning with body shots and can fight using mutiple styles of defense and change up at will...get a grip....It was hard to hit Benitez clean...but it is hard to hit ****ing floyd at all....:-:)-:)-(

    Benitez defense, in his prime, was the best in boxing hystory, his nickname was "The Radar" because he can see every punch coming to him and avoid it. Floyd had never faced someone with better defense than him and that's Benitez.

    Benetiz had nothing for a body shot..and Floyd looks for his offense more then Benetiz who was strictly a counter puncher..Floyd got hit when he knew he could take it and to be aggressive to get a guy out of there.....Floyd mixed his offense in better b/c he does not have one punch power....Floyd does avoid punches all together when he fights a benetiz style fight IE corrales fight....

    you are talking to guys who hate floyd with a passion. the fact that benitez owned a brawler like duran doesn't mean he would beat a fighter like floyd. floyd as a boxer is light years ahead of duran and benitez.

    Benitez would decision Floyd in a close fight, he was just better defensively and fought just as good,at least, competition.

    That is the first thought that came to my head when he said Duran was a "brawler"

    Great matchup 1 boricua, it's a toss up on this one, but if its a prime Benitez, I'll go with my boy "El Radar".

    If it wasnt for Benitez's lack of training/bad habits during his prime, he would have been better than he was.

    It is always cool to say that the past guys were better. It makes you seem more knowledgable. I hate that. Benitez was a great fighter, a master boxer with one of the best defences all time. As much as I want PBF to lose every fight (I root against him) Floyd is one of the greatest. ANd I am afraid, when it is all said and done, Foyd will be looked at higher than Benitez. Sucks though, I dont like PBF.

    This fight wont be easy. Toss up, maybe, but if I had to bet, I would bet on PBF UD.

    PS I will be rooting for PBF for the first time ever on December. Dont know why, but I will.
