Would legacy of Gomez, Benitez and Pryor have hurt if there no Jr weights in their era?

Benitez too talented. If no 140 lbs all it would have meant he wouldn't have broken record for youngest champ but still would have been champ before 20 at 147 lbs.

Was Benitez a champ at light welter?

Yes, agreed about Pryor. I think I also read that about him not getting a title shot at 135. He could have been the great lightweight of the 1980s - the Arguello fight would probably have still taken place but at 135 instead of 140 and maybe fights with Edwin Rosario, Ray Mancini and Hector Camacho would have too.

He still would have eventually self-destructed though.

I read on wiki that when Camacho turned pro at super feather he wanted Arguello at that weight.
