Whitaker & Benitez --- two of my all-time favourites --- meet between their main divisions. An awfully difficult fight to score, I'm sure. Who do you like? I'm really having a hard time deciding. Whitaker is greater all-time, IMO, but Benitez is a little bigger, a little stronger, & just as clever. They both just had preternatural instincts for making a man miss, & both suffered with the judges for being that way.
Um....I'll go with Whitaker, mainly because he was a little faster, especially of foot and I can see Bentiez having some discomfort with having to play the role of aggressor, as he predominantly would here. 10-5 type affair I think with more feinting than punching, but great to watch none the less.:dunno:
Gimme Benitez. He'd probably win with his long left-hand alone. Whitaker wouldn't feel the pressure that ignites his stink. Instead, he'd find himself hypnotized by the clogne in front of him. He'd become overly aggressive late in the fight, in desperation. And he'd find out how futile his efforts are.
First off, in the rematch Floyd won at least 9 rounds Secondly, STYLES Floyd and Whitaker were two totally different fighters
you're full of shit - the second PBF/Castillo fight was a damn split decision !!! Nine rounds?! Get out of here.
one judge being blind means nothing to me Whitaker/Chavez was a draw according to the judges you're full of shit
Castillo won NO MORE then 4 rounds in the rematch. It was 8-4, or 9-3 in Floyd's favor. And I consider Pea to be considerably better at 135 then Floyd. Whitaker woulda pitched a 12-0 on Castillo.
