    Further info:
    World Titles: Junior welterweight,Welterweight, junior middleweight
    Quality of competition: 10
    Bouts vs Top 50 fighters: 4
    Why He`s Here: At age 17, he was better than almost anyone else in the world
    What He Could Have Done To Better His Ranking: Outpointed Tommy Hearns or Ray Leonard.
    Who was better than Benitez at light welter from any era? I feel Leonard and Hearns both had too much reach for Wilfredo at welter and junior middle.

    Leonard and Hearns never fought at 140 in the pros.
