Wilfred Benitez, completely underrated

[The Surgeon]

Been reading up on him lately and was actually gonna do a thread on him myself! One helluva fighter, imagine if he trained like a Mayweather instead of relying on his natural talent....

[Sugarj]

Yeah. His Dad left his camp permanently for not training hard enough for one of his fights.

I suppose you get this from time to time, guys with more talent than sense. Come to think of it, in terms of sheer raw talent its hard to think of many ATGs more naturally gifted.

So sad, his condition at the moment.....

Real shame.

Real shame.

And someone known for sponging punches like Chuvalo is perfectly lucid to this day.....go figure. Just goes to show that you never know who's at risk for dementia and who isn't.

He defeated a living legend at 17 yrs old!! Cervantez sp) was at the end of his reign but no one expected Wilfred to defeat him. As to being an ATG not on my list but a very talented young man. Another counter puncher who at times refused to fight when he had to so he could have a chance to take over a fight. He was a very stubborn man and his style hurt his box office appeal. To me hes on the fringe and his best weight was at 140lbs there he had a little more power to his punch too. Ray

One that always surprised me was Basilio. He's reaching his 90's and in great shape as far as I'm aware.

Lamotta another one.

Who's not to great at the moment though apparently.

Not sure what to think on that one. He was a nasty piece of work in his younger days. Not that I wish ill health on anyone though.

Its a high risk life style, but you don't need to box for twenty years to become a little dingy just look at poet682006 he/she talks all day long about topics he/she knows nothing about. Maybe being a forum contender has its draw backs.

I sent you a PM you lil turd and I'll leave it at that. I have no reason or desire to get into a pissing match with a nerd who think David Bowie is his idol!






Ray Corso is my real name I'll give you my address come visit and meet an old man who can give you some lessons about respect!! You lil punk!

Sht's getting serious.

To be fair though. Poet never insulted you and just because he doesn't agree with you does not mean he is personally attacking you. Also David Bowie is a very good artist and two of his songs are in my Top 50 favourites.
