Another Fighter who partied his way too oblivion. Wouldn't stop partying, wasn't training until the last minute and after a while it catches you when it's long past a habit. Truly 1 of the best I've ever witnessed on TV 'Wilfredo 'El Radar' Benitez'!!!!!!!!

Backing to the ropes and then masterfully slipping dozens of blows while your opponent exhausts himself trying to knock your head off - that is actually a pretty good plan, and it won him some fights.Also, some fighters can look in shape, but not actually be in good shape. A classic example was Mike Tyson v. Buster Douglas.

Benitez father used to put him and his brother in the ring with Esteban DeJesus when they were kids. It probably contributed to his boxing skills and early dimentia. Angelo Dundee once said he was the best technical boxer he ever saw. And I can't argue with him.

Benitez was never allowed to be a normal teenager - won the 140lbs title when he was just 17 - that came back to haunt him later when he partied more & more, seemingly to make up for his misspent youth. No way should he have burned out by the time he had reached 25, because he simply didn't get hit that much His career is a warning to others - drinking & drugs don't mix with boxing.

Benitez was one of the most elite defensive boxers in history so this fight was nothing for Duran to be ashamed of. Duran was great but his attitude stunk at times. Like at the end of this fight when Benitez stayed in the corner and fought face to face and was not running, but Duran still showed poor sportsmanship after the final bell.

spanish rampage Do you realize how you sound? You believe a fighter should change the style of his fight so that it benefits the other fighter. That would be a foolish thing to do in boxing as well as other types of fighting in life in general. It's adolescent thinking. Being macho does not equate to being good, as in Duran's case. Benitez plain out boxed and out maneuvered poor Duran and made him look very awkward. Duran was so mad because he was made to look ineffective, which he was. It was embarrassing. Benetiz broke Duran down mentally and outscored him. Duran was childish and unsportsmanlike. Very immature. Whereas Benitez showed good sportsmanship in fights where he was beaten and lost.

spanish rampage Stop making excuses and talking around the truth. Duran got embarrassed by Benitez and Ray Leonard when they refused to fight his childish macho fight. There are plenty of fans who loved watching fighters like Benitez. You talk as if everyone only likes a macho man like Duran. That's nonsense. I loved watching Duran fight (devastating in fighter), as well as Thomas Hearns, as well as Sweet Pea Whitaker, and all the great defensive fighters. I appreciate all the fighting styles. However, you're thinking is limited and narrow and based on your own limited culture. Hispanic fighters and fans think one track minded. Sadly, that culture caused some potentially great defensive fighters (hispanic) to never reach their potential. They all had to macho it out to please people like you, or they were considered pussies. Benitez fought Tommy Hearns to the final round and even pursued him aggressively in desperation towards the end of the fight to try and score past his long reach and height advantage. Whereas Hearns obliterated Duran and knocked him out cold on his face. He fell like a tree. Duran should have not come out for round three after being stunned so badly. Duran's macho foolishness could have gotten him killed against Hearns. Benitez starting fighting at a young age and fell early due to brain damage. Duran fought long years and was lucky. Not all fighters are as lucky as Duran. He still lost embarrassingly to Benitez and no one can reverse that fact. It's history my friend.

spanish rampage Ha ha. Duran was mad and hostile at Benitez because he got embarrassed when he was swinging and missing up close. He wasn't used to being made to look ridiculous like that. And Benitez would not stand there and give him a target. I felt a little embarrassed for Duran myself :-(. A great fighter made to look ineffective. "Fight of the Year" does not make a fighter great or give them a title ... ha ha. You are full of joke coments sir. Benitez bleeding nose against Duran did not change the outcome .... LoL. Duran LOST and got shamed. The damage done was to Duran's record and his legacy, but Benitez bloody nose was only a temporary annoyance. You seem to be taking Duran's loss pretty hard there hero.

Duran was a much better match for Benitez than Hearns or Leonard. Benitez struggled with Leonard's handspeed and the fact that Leonard wouldn't come to him and made Benitez be the aggressor - Leonard was content to sit back and potshot Benitez. And Hearns' length (and speed) were also real obstacles for Benitez - as they were for pretty much everyone. Benitez could make Hearns miss but even then, Hearns was too far away to counter properly. The way to beat those guys was to get right into their chests, which wasn't Benitez's forte.

Benitez is truly an all time great. He was so talented that instead of training properly he got by on his ability and eventually that would catch up with him. He was a three division champ, when it actually meant something and the his record for winning a world at age 17 is not likely to broken.

nobby roberts I get what you are saying about Duran's versatility. It is amazing. I agree. But the fact remains that he chose to change weight classes - it was his choice. In doing so, he lost to Leonard twice, Hagler, Hearns and Benitez. He LOST to them. You can't call someone the greatest pound for pound fighter ever when he loses 5 times to other legendary fighters. He wasn't past his prime in any of those fights. Look what he did to Iran Barkley just months before he fought Leonard for the 3rd time. He fought one of his best fights.

Dr. Anderson Excuse me, but winning again Barkley and losing to the others on the same period of time doesn't demonstrates that he was at his prime. It only stablishes him as one of the best figthers of all time even past his time. Of course, he was going to loses to other great fighters at their prime, and the fact that Duran was at least 5 - 6 y/o older than all of them just spits class. As simple as that, once an athlete pass his prime everything goes down exponentially, unlike when their are getting to their primes.

Cesar Barroso I agree. Great clarification. My point was that Duran fought a great fight against Barkley (who had beaten Hearns twice) prior to fighting Leonard in their 3rd bout. Many have argued that Leonard's domination of Duran in that 3rd fight was because Duran was way too beyond his prime. I pointed out that his solid performance against Barkley indicated that he was capable of pulling the upset and defeating Leonard. In a nutshell, I was responding to all of the comments about how Duran was better than Sugar Ray Leonard. No way.

Duran showed real poor sportsmanship and disrespected Wilfredo Benitez when Duran was thoroughly out boxed and loss that fight. Benitez went to shake hands and embrace Duran but Duran gave his back to Benitez and walked away. I should hope at some time Duran made amends with Benitez. This was one of Duran’s low points in his career, he showed no class what so ever. Benitez truly one of the greatest fighters of his era.

As a Duran fan, I hate when people make excuses. If you've done it yourself, then you know a good big man always beats a good small man. Size really does matter and in cases like these, it shows. Duran, a natural lightweight lost to the BIGGER Leonard, Benitez, Laing, Hagler, Hearns and Sims. The rest don't count imo. There's no doubting he was one of the greatest fighters ever. The reason he beat bigger fighters is when they fought his fight, which is wearing them down inside, counterpunching and then turning up the heat. Duran is the GOAT because he took a risk in fighting bigger fighters and for so long. PS isn't it crazy how many times commentators said "This might be the last time we see Roberto Duran"
