Lots of great points made here about both fighters which i agree with and no doubt this would have been a great match-up, my money would have been on Benitez as i feel he was the better of the two and beat the better fighters, his losses to Leonard & Hearns was still great performances and i dont think Trinidad would have lasted long with those two guys.. i see this fight going similar to Benitez vs Hope

Yeah, he had to quit against Leonard in the last round because of an injury, can't remember what kind. And he went 15 rounds losing a close contest with Hearns. Both are legends ofc.

The Leonard fight was actually stopped by the referee, seemingly for no reason. There were a couple of seconds left with Leonard flurrying away and the referee stepped in.
Didn't really matter though because Leonard did deserve to win the fight but I didn't see any reason for the stoppage.
