    Trinidad, Whitaker, Quartey, Mosley, De La Hoya, Forrest, etc.

    I would favor him over all of them. Trinidad and Whitaker have a chance, but Benitez is too slick for Tito when on form and he’s too big for Whitaker.

    I think the rest he beats convincingly.

    He beats them all, with the biggest threat being Trinidad.

    Im not saying hes an underdog against any of them, but if he faced all of them, hes taking at least a loss.

    Assuming Benitez isn't hung over like he was against the inferior Curry brother twice he should be favored against everyone listed

    Of course if he faced all of them, he'd take an L or two. He was too inconsistent to go unbeaten if he faced them all.

    But in a vacuum, he's a solid favorite over all them if we're just talking a one-off, and if he's on his game.

    I said Trinidad would be Benitez's only threat, but 93 Whitaker also has a very good chance of beating Benitez. I just tend to see Benitez as too young, and big for Whitaker at 147.

    DLH, and Quartey are both too robotic for Benitez. Will takes em both to school.

    Mosley is too one dimensional, and not intelligent enough.

    And Forrest, plain and simple was just not good enough for Benitez.
