is really hard to believe he is in this condition....i mean he was a great boxer yeah he just to get hit alot but not with big blows...probably was an specific area.

[Lazy Liberal]

Damn, Is that Wilfred Benitez? That dude was a child prodigy, winning a belt at 17, 3 division champ. He is the forgotten man out of the great fighters of the 80's. I see heavy drug use in that face of his.

[NAPO]

ye ur right man he did used alot of drugs during his career especially on his prime...he was immature because he tasted fame in a really young age.


but he was a great fighter.

i think it's a combination of drugs and a form of pugilistic dementia.some kind a brain disease that his brother had as well.his defense was so good cause his brothers use to fight him in the ring as a kid,i think that's where the pugilistic dementia came from.

Whoa is that Benitez???

What a pity. When ppl talk about Hagler, Hearns and Leonard they really should include this guy. He was probably the most naturally gifted of them all. I believe he only had about 2 weeks preparation to the Leonard-fight (Benitez was super-lazy) and still went 15 rounds.

and the fight was pretty close too.

Is that really Wilfredo? **** like that is the reason I can't fault a fighter for being cautious in the ring, after all that fighting is done you still want your health when you retire.

the leonard fight was a a close enough fight to merit a rematch[though leonard tko'ed him in a somewhat controversial stoppage]
