edsel77x Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 three time/multi-division champion who defeated Roberto Duran. Nicknamed ‘El Radar’ for his keen sense of dodging punches, he was arguably one of the greatest defensive/counter punching fighters of all-time. I don't think it would have been boring match with two of the greatest counter punchers in the business. Who wins and how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otley Snr Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 This is a tough one to call....lets have a closer look I'm going to examine both boxers and see if I can work it logically (if thats possible)!!!! Wilfredo 5′ 10″ 70″ 53-8-1 (31) Mayweather Jr 5′ 8″ 72″ 41-0-0 (25) Wilfredo has the height, Mayweather has the reach so I would give Pretty boy the advantage if it was a pure boxing match. I think Floyd would have been quicker but would give Wilfredo the edge in power. Who had the better compettion well I would have to lean towards Wilfredo with his win over Roberto Duran, his loss against Sugar Ray Leonard and majority Decision loss to another great Thomas Hearns. Floyd's record of opponents just don't compare especially when you think De La Hoya only lost on a split decision to Pretty Boy and DLH was coming to the end of his career. So putting all this in to account I would say Benitez wins this one on a unanimous decision. Job Biscuit (Wow I liked that)!!!! eh eh!!

McBride Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'd go for Benitez, too tricky even for Mayweather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yiddle Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 over 15 rounds this fight for me goes by a tight decision to el radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoner Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Tough fight. Benitez was a great talent but in his own words, he never took training seriously. That's one thing Floyd takes very seriously. Benitez beat some top talents like Maurice Hope and Roberto Duran but he did lose to Leonard and Hearns in his prime although to be fair that isn't such a big deal. I think Floyd might win this one as it's a close one to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelchair Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Re: Wilfredo Benetiz vs Floyd Mayweather I don't think it would have been boring match with two of the greatest counter punchers in the business. It would be as boring as hell. Both fighters would be waiting for the other to lead. I'd go for a mega dull draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 certainly not a barn burner but a high level fight that could go either way and would no doubt require a re-match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
