Classic matchup... Pacquiao's superb offense vs. Benitez's outstanding defense.

Who will win this epic battle when the two square off in early 2012?

Can't say, never really looked into Benitez's career, seen the Duran, Hearns and Leonard fight but that's about it.

Bold, well I'm out.

Benitez is what? 60? i'm leaning towards PAC

At 140 or 147?

It's a tough one.

Benitez would frustrate the hell out of Pac and can certainly handle agression.

I see the fight being close for the first 4-5 rounds with Pacqiauo maybe edging it but for Benitez to then take over, control the rythm and win a clear UD.

He's not 60 yet surely?

He was 17 around mid 70's when he won his first world title.

Benitez is pushing 50 and is very sick I think Pac can handle him in 2012, lmao

I think SBleeder is talking about if Benitez was in his prime in 2012 people.

If Benitez was in his prime his schools Pacquiao.

Benitez was better than Juan Manuel Marquez, I think he would school the hell out of poor Packy, unless he gets the drain treatment.
