    Benitez by Decision.

    Manny would throw a ton of punches, but few would land.

    Benitez, and it wouldn't be close. HORRIBLE matchup for Pac.

    The only southpaw I can remember Manny fighting was Agapito Sanchez, and he looked horrible. It's pretty conspicuous how Floyd moved through most of the same weightclasses during a close period and fought several southpaws, whereas Manny didn't fight any.

    Edit: Insert “slick fighter or southpaw”. I forgot Benitez was orthodox at the time of the post due to his slickness.

    I don't know. Manny has the speed and power to drop Benitez .
    I might lean towards Manny in a super close bout with Manny dropping Benitez .

    Prime Benitez only lost to the best in Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas
    Hearns. Pacquiao is neither of these two. WB too crafty for MP.
    Benitez on pts.

    Not a good style match up for a Pacquiao this high in weight.

    Wilfred by TKO in a 15 round fight, Manny doesn't have any business being matched up with great welterweights

    bad fight for many.. Wilfred fought his best at 154 believe it or not. but at welt he beats Manny by decision. Benitez was underrated, but he had to fight guys like Hearns and Duran and Leonard.. lost to two of them in title fights. lost his titles to Ray and Tommy.

    Manny by KO in 7. Super speed. Bizarre angles. Sthpaw. Benitez folds in 7 . 3 knockdown or 1 punch after accumulation.

    Manny isn’t in the same class.

    You're right. He's better than Benitez.
