Wilfred Benitez vs. Floyd Mayweather from 140-154

I can't take the above poster seriously considering he said Benitez was lacking fundamentals. Benitez lacked dedication, that's it. Talent and fundamentals were two things he had in abundance.

Furthermore, Benitez was MUCH better than Floyd at 154. Floyd's best performance at 154 was against Cotto. A good performance in hindsight, but Benitez's performance against Duran BLOWS IT AWAY. Easily one of the best boxing clinics in history, and Duran was a different league of fighter than Cotto.

Stupid post.

 

I think Benitez would win at 140 and at 154 but l'm not sure who would win at 147.

 

At 140 lbs: Floyd Mayweather WSD Wilfred Benitez
At 147 lbs: Wilfred Benitez WSD Floyd Mayweather
At 154 lbs: Wilfred Benitez WUD Floyd Mayweather

 

Benitez wins a decision at every weight.

 

It would be very close...

 

Benitez beats Floyd at any weight.

Firstly he is 5 10 , not small , similar height to Oscar.

Secondly he does everything Floyd does but better and punches way way harder.

The only way Floyd wins this one is if Wilfred doesn't train like he did against Ray.

By the way I am a Floyd fan , but this is Benitez we are talking about.

 

It would not be. Do not be fooled by the fact that Floyd had a perfectly managed career, allowing him to avoid tough challenges all along.

 

True. Floyds record is littered with bums.

Imagine if he'd fought some of the best fighters of his era, De La Hoya, Moseley, Cotto, Pacqiauo, Canelo etc etc.

 

Exactly Mayweather avoided them when they were in their prime.:good It is called perfect management but not so good in terms of legacy.

 

Mayweather avoided prime Mosley, DLH, and Cotto? I hope you're just joking.

 

Can you elaborate? What are these things you think Benitez does better than Mayweather? Why don't you think Mayweather can do them as well?

 

Moseley was coming off the biggest win of his career.

Cotto was the jmw champ and had made a number of defenses prior to facing Floyd.

Canelo was undefeated.

Pacqiauo, well, he should have took the test. Instead of making videos mocking Floyd, maybe he should have spent more time trying to beat Floyd. After all, he had 5 years to do prepare. Come fight night, he was chasing ghosts.

Floyd would have beaten every single one of these guys no matter when they crossed paths.

 

I'll stand by it...
