This is a mouthwatering match.
I think its a precession punch up Benitez and his radar punches and Slippery Floyd i thought of it and am not sure of outcome , can we have your views guys so we can put this to bed on who wud win ?
if i had to choose id say Floyd on split points :)
This is a fight Mayweather wins decisively.
Benitez couldn't handle SRL, so it's a Mayweather win for me!
Benitez at his very best was a great great fighter.. This fight would be amazing for the head movement displayed alone.
Benitez by SD
There wouldn't be a whole lotta connecting punches on this one
Benitez in his prime was imo slightly better
Hard to say in this fight. I might go with Benitez on a split decision. He was a good fighter from 1976-1984. Benitez was fast. I am not sure this is an easy fight for Floyd, but either way it would go the distance. Benitez was good. problem is he fought during a very good era.
Mayweather is no SRL and is different type of fighter Benitez lost close decision to Hearns and outboxed Duran he was very good boxer and yet again Taeth Mayweather would not win this easily but he would win by decision but not by much.Quote:

Benitez had some of the best head movement I've ever seen, both he and Floyd had a certain radar that few fighters have, both in ability to land clean and see punches coming.Quote:

Benitez was brilliant defensively, he was quick with great timing & accuracy.
But Floyd is a defensive master, with blinding hand speed & near-perfect timing.
Benitez would have the power advantage but Floyd has ever other advantage. UD Floyd
From what I've seen Mayweather is a little quick, and little more technically sound(which isn't always a good thing), but I think Mayweather still wins this one.
SO you think Floyd can Outbox easily SRL?Quote:
