I have to go with my man Benitez, he would just out box DLH in a good fight DLH will have his moments but a prime Benitez will out class him..similar to the Sweet Pea fight a passed his prime Sweet Pea made Oscar look like an amateur so just Imagine a prime Benitez..

this is a good fantasy match up. dlh never fought anyone really of note w/ benitez's skills - as alluded to earlier - a past his prime sweet pea made DLH look amateurish at times. factor in that benitez fought 15 rounders ... and DLH's knack for running out of gas ....

Benitez was good but short lived, he was finished after the hearns fight. Oscar should go down as the better boxer.

where can video's of benitez previous fights be found?

Probably Benitez, however the problem with him was that he was inconsistent and u never knew which Benitez would show up.

An "on" Benitez would win by decision.

thats the thing oscars explosiveness ..with speed power and all that stoped when he went to 147 ...he was still an excelent fighter but that pop he had was just gone...hes litrally gotta railroad a guy to drop them since hes moved up ..

a 130-135 delahoya was waaay more dominate
