    Wilfred Benitez not only winning the title at 140 but beating Cervantes, at 17.

    17 is just a ridiculously young age to be competing professionally, let alone winning a legit World Title against a world class fighter.

            I use to think Armstrong but I've grown to appreciate Benitez's amazing feat even more. I agree with this.

                  Remember that Armstrong's feat was facilitated through his odd body type, most people just physically can't make those weight adjustments.

                    I voted for Armstrong. Was really close to going for Benitez, though. I know a bunch of 17 year olds, and even picturing them on HBO today is just wrong.
