What happens in this fight?
Not a good style matchup. An alltime defensive wizard... vs. an alltime counterpuncher. There probably wouldn't be a lot of heated action in the fight. As to who would win... it's a tough one. Wilfredo gave SRL one of his toughest tests somewhat early in their careers... and I consider SRL to be one of the best ever. I'd say it's pretty much a "pick-em" fight.
Definitely will not be a cracking fight but the reason I came up with this matchup was because I believe Benitez has what the takes to beat floyd.
He was a full fledged 5"10 WW with the mobility to make floyd lead. Floyds opponents all make the mistake of chasing him instead of making him come to them but binetez wouldn't go that route imo.
And this dude doesn't get enough credit for his punching power but take a look at the maurice hope fight and he was definitely a puncher.
Benitez is known for his defensive ability but his offense was great as well.
Floyd has never fought a WW with this size and ability.
An in-shape Benitez wins :o
