    Being slick and sneaky sometimes trumps being fast. For this reason, I go with Benitez. His defensive abilities were something that Taylor never had to deal with.

    Cervantes went along with the pace Benitez set because Will was brilliant at ring generalship, and obviously he hit hard enough to gain Cervantes' respect.

    Benitez wasn't some feather-fist. Taylor's not just gonna crowd and him and outwork him without taking many counters in return.

    Ultimately, I agree with whoever said it's a matter of levels. I'm EXTREMELY high on Taylor at 140, but I see Will outboxing him.
