Benitez, I am not sure, he was so good defensively, but he didn't take fights seriously, and I think if he didn't train well for this fight he would lose it, but if he trained hard he would likely win.

In the 90's
I think Oscar De La Hoya would for sure beat Margarito, too good of a boxer, and was big and strong enough to match up physically against Margarito, I don't think Mosley would have beaten Margarito, his style just doesn't work moving backwards, and Margarito would throw, and land more than him. I think Quartey would stand a good chance of beating Margarito for the same reasons as Oscar, but a different style, I think his jab would pick Margarito apart, and he is strong enough to hang with Tony. I think Margarito beats Campas, I also think if he can handle Tito's punch, that he would wear Tito out and ko him.
Of all the fighters you mentioned I think he would beat Quartey and Campas. No way
would he beat Hearns, Hearns' boxing skills are quite often underrated because of his freakish punch power but he really could box. You only need to look at the SRL 1 fight to see this he was more than holding his own against a master boxer. Also I actually think that Marg just takes too many shots to last the distance with Tommy, I mean I know he has an absolute granite chin but Hearns could knock walls down and if you let him hit you as many times as Marg did with Cotto I don't care who you are your getting KTFO.

Same could be said for Tito, he may not have the same power as Hearns but he is still one of the greatest Puncher/Boxers that the division has ever seen and I think that he would have too much for Marg.
