Wilfredo Benitez vs Manny Pacquaio

Close call dude.

 

Wilfredo Benitez for me

 

Benetiz KO PAC in 1...it's a fantasy fight. There's no point in this thread because PAC always lose in fantasy fight.

 

what weight is this dude

even a chump like MACHO would have given Pac fits, but only at 130 or below

i wouldnt bet on the guy who continually has to fight bigger versions of himself (Pac vs. Duran, etc)

 

The Radar would be too good at the weight

 

Benitez for me as well... No doubt Alot of Pac's recent Opponents have taken there losses like Warriors or maybe Marg and Cotto. But i still Believe the fighters of that era in Benitez, Duran, Chavez, Leonard. Had the ability and instinct to adjust there styles according to there opponent, and try different ideas one after another to score there moments while they were fighting, Win or Loose. I Still think Duran's head movement gives manny a problem, and his underrated handspeed when raging inside. So Benitez claimed as El Radar with superior headmovement than Duran, Frustrates Manny, Benitez Style was Beautiful, He's step in and out like pac does but when he stepped in he did it in a way he'd neutralize your effectivity by giving you no space at all. Scoring his upper's and Hook's and stepping back out while making you miss. Benitez was one of the Few to take Hearns Right hands Flush and brush them off While Hearns was in his Prime. Also being expirienced And The youngest Champion at 17 so he was extremely expirienced. He had wars since a kid thanks to his dad's abuse. So his Prime was lived short. But in his prime he frustrates Manny and wins a decision, maybe a close one, cause manny will always be on the offensive.

So benitez uses his jab and movement to stay away from engaging with pac, but at times rushes in and scores his combos while reaching back out and gets back to efffecting pac's offense with movement and the jab with straight rights. Pacs lands short punches in the inside in the exchanges but have no effect on benitez while pac missing alot of those shots He's Throwing. Benitez going back to neutralising pacs offense with distance and movement landing his jabs and other shots while making pac miss his shots. pac at times is able to land a few straight lefts but benitez head movements and slipping abilities takes alot of steam of the punch (as he did with Hearns, and Duran) Both have there moments but benitez dominates most of the fight neutralising manny's offense, and it goes to benitez on the Scorecards.

I think not only does Benitez take the advantage of Speed and movement that neutralises manny's plans, but also is extremely Underrated and Unappreciated by alot. I saw him take flush Rights from Duran and Hearns and Shake them off, by also loosing via Tko to leonard while having an ugly deep cut on his forhead from a headbutt, One of the ugliest cuts and Bleeding issues ive seen in the ring. If he went through that and took those shots i dont see Pac taking him out, duran had that same explosiveness and agression manny comes in with when he rages in on the offensive. Benitez will get the best of his Mentality, he will make him miss most of his shots and Frustrate Manny. yeah Manny is really fast but so were Alot of Benitez's opponents in which he made miss too, and were just not only fast but hit harder than manny too. I see Benitez Laying on the ropes and inviting Manny in and making a great show and entertaining fight With his amazing headmovement. But as great as Benitez Skills were he was going at war in this fight. Too bad the man never like to train for fights, and overall an extemely sad story.

 

yeah it wont be easy, it will be a war, but unlike Cotto, benitez is 3 inches taller than cotto and has 3 inches in reach advantage. Cotto may had a few tactics to capitalize on manny, but when he saw manny was quicker than expected he pretty much didn't have anything else to try but to trade. Benitez was excellent in every attribute in boxing, could do it all and was going to use his size, height and reach, unlike Cotto. Also being lightyears ahead of Cotto in headmovement, he was going to make manny miss alot. If benitez had his hands full. Im sure he was going to use the movement and jab while coming up with other things to try until it was a sucess. I think manny's "weird" punches will eventually land on Benitez, but Benitez chin is way better than cotto's too. and Benitez can be on the move in a fast pace like Pac while having more advantages someone like marquez had in height and size. Its going to be a hell of a fight but benitez just doesn't compare with cotto, maybe Cotto is more heavy handed, and still Benitez had a hell of a looping right hand that was very effective and he stretched out without taking risks, and could hhave possibly landed with ease as a counter punch on pac.

 

Lately Pacquiao has been losing fantasy fights to people he actually beat in real fights.

 

Saying that Pacquiao could probably ask The Radar to come down to 135 :happy

 

I'am a full-on ******* but Benitez is just an absolute marvel & a terrible opponant for the pacman. He's Marquez x 10:yep:deal

 

Sugar Ray said he never faced anyone that was so hard to hit than Benitez. And let's not forget, Benitez schooled Duran.

 

Pacquiao would get unbelievably frustrated trying to hit El Radar. This is a flat out horrible style for him.

 

have you guys seen Benitez vs Hope? I think Pacquiao would win this fight by decision. Benitez is hard to hit but Pacquiao's offense is very unorthodox and he would win a lot of rounds on intensity and aggressiveness. He would also test that chin and would catch Benitez clean more than people think.
