Wilfred Benitez vs. Floyd Mayweather from 140-154

These matches look great on paper and, whilst they each might be a purist's dream, I can imagine them being a befuddling disappointment to the general/casual fan base, come the events themselves.

Two defensive geniuses make for a great chess match and little action. All three would be closely run affairs and I think Benitez could pull off the wins, in each of the divisions; more likely so at 147 and 154.

 

Do u seriously have any basis for believing that Mayweather waited for them to get old??

I sometimes wonder whether half the people around here who comment on Mayweather even followed his career.

 

No bias They were just past it when he fought them. Not saying it was intentional thats just how it played out.
Now proloning Pac was intentional.

 

I'll go against the grain and say May weather beats Benitez at all 3 weights.
Mayweather could adust and Benitez couldn't.
And you forget speed gave Benitez problems and May weather is just as fast if not faster then Benitez.

 

I don't see any way Benitez would beat Mayweather.

 

Mayweather no way loses at any weight. As if its close and fought in Las
Vegas there is no way he ever loses any close decision.

 

I'm not a huge Mayweather fan but I think he beats Benitez at all 3 weights too.

 

Very interesting fights

 

Mayweather would have no chance at 154 especially against the Benitez who almost shut out Duran.

 

Mayweather wins at 140, 147 50/50, 154 Benitez wins IMO.

 

Benitez did pretty well against Hearns, much better than Floyd would have.
Benitez has the height and reach advantage over Floyd who just is not busy enough to beat a slickster like Benitez.

Benitez wins a UD in no matter what weight class.Too small and not busy enough.Skill wise they are not far apart though.

 

How does it matter IF he waited for them to get old, the fact is, THEY WERE OLD when he fought them.

 

He doesn't beat W.B. at 154, that I'm almost certain of.

 

One for the purists, this. Final score would be nil-nil.

I could see the judges 'pulling a Goldstein' and baling out after 10 rounds, desperately seeking a Tommy Hearns bout to revive themselves.

 

Probably be terrible fights to watch, Wilfred and Floyd would be very close decision at 140 , I see Benitez drilling him at 147 and especially at 154
