The great Roberto Duran was outboxed by the great Wilfredo Benitez. Some people think that Duran was just a ferocious brawler with hands of stone, but Duran was also a great boxer with excellent defense. Benitez was a master of defense, and he proved it against Duran. Watch the whole fight, not just these highlights, and you will see how frustrated Duran became trying to hit Benitez. Even when Benitez was on the ropes, Duran could not rough Benitez up or land any clean shots. Benitez fought in the same era as "The Four Kings" - Duran, Hagler, Leonard, and Hearns. In my opinion, there should be "Five Kings" from that era, and Benitez is the fifth.
Wildred Benitez MUST be included in the conversation when you speak of Duran, Leonard and Hearns - Benitez is terribly underrated. The only reason I didn't include Marvin Hagler is that he came on a bit later - Early on it was Duran, Leonard, Hearns and Benitez just fighting each other for the Welterweight crown(s) at that time - All (except Benitez) fought Hagler when they all decided to move up to Middleweight.
No doubt Glenn, but I feel The Marvelous One should stand at the top of the heap Just a relentless WARRIOR who was ALL business and ALWAYS showed class. Just can't say that about the others sadly. Loved them All but just a tad biased towards Marvin.
@@keithlauderjr1691 I get that, I love Hagler, but Duran really should be Top Of The Heap among these names. He was a natural-135-pounder, 12 lbs below the weights of SRL and Hearns, 25 pounds less than Hagler. I know that Duran is considered part of “The Four Kings” (maybe Benitez would’ve been a better ‘fourth’?), but the VERY BEST Roberto Duran was sorta left behind when he moved up to Welter. He took one single, solitary loss at 135, a non-title bout loss to Esteban De Jesus, which Duran proceeded to avenge, twice, by the time he moved up. And he only moved up because there was more money fighting these guys who were now HUGE STARS in the US, SRL especially, than he could earn at 135. Duran, really, wasn’t the “4th king”, he was his own thing entirely. If he was American, he’d be considered the greatest boxer since Sugar Ray Robinson.
Q va compa Benítez esta como un Zombie en la actualidad es como estar en una muerte en vida y Leonarth, Hearns , Palomino , y Duran gozando de la vida ...
The late '70s and the 80's were the years of some of the greatest light to middleweights that I've ever seen. Some of the most fantastic rivalries in boxing history, too. Leonard, Duran Benitez, Haggler and so many more. That was some time to see greatness. Thanks to TH-cam we can remember those men and their wars.
l agree 100% also the feather weights like Gomez, Camacho, Sanchez, Chavez, Arguello also Aron Pryor, Chapo Rosario, Mancini wow that era was truly loaded with so much talent and rivalries Thank You warriors for the wars and memories, God Bless you all!!! Also Hector Camacho, Salvador Sanchez, Aron Pryor, Alexis Arguello and Chapo Rosario may you rest in peace in the presence of almighty God!!!
This is why I call them the Fabulous FIVE. You cant forget about Benitez, he had this masterful performance against Duran, and incredible fight with Leonard, and challenged the way larger and stronger man in Hearns. Such a savage, and one of the best defensive boxers ever slips punches like the matrix, but wasnt afraid to trade shots either. Love this man

I remember the fight, nice win for Benítez. Durán started fighting in 1968, this was his 77th fight in 1982. Arguably the greatest lightweight ever, he started losing when he got older and moved up weight classes. After his first fight with Sugar Ray he was 72-1. He gets remembered too much for the more famous fights as a veteran past his prime. Before that he dominated a weight division for years.
Average fight fan is oblivious to what Duran accomplished at lightweight! Everything after lightweight is unimaginable.Truly one of the greatest of all time.
2 of the 4 greatest to ever step into the ring! Leonard and Hearns were naturally bigger and got the best of them but Benitez and Duran were equal any day of the week..... Benitez was special in his on way that is so under appreciated... He beat so many former and future world champs I miss him and am saddened his name is not mentioned with these great warriors Thank you for this video

Agree 100%. Leonard hearns Duran and Benitez were all magnificent fighters that fought successfully in different weights. They all adapted to being comfortable in uncomfortable weights. None of that for Hagler ,he stayed in his comfort zone. Yes Wilfredo ( the radar) Benitez defence was like trying to hit a ghost. That’s what Leonard said in his book.
@@johndasilva2686 no man , no way ... Hagler was Middleweight, natural middleweight, the best , so why should he move to lightweight or to heavyweight? Why? Because you said so, no man , Marvelous Marvin is good there so he stood there at middleweight
It really should have been the Fab 3. If it had to be a Fab 4, Benitez should've replaced the classless Duran. Both combined for 6 losses in 7 fights against the top 3 (only Duran's decision in the first fight with Leornard). Benitez fared better than Duran (knocking down Hearns the weakest of the big 3), but he never faught Hagler. Duran showed no class in the Leonard fight as he did here in the Benitez fight. He lost 5 out of 6 to the other 4. I was a Duran fan, but he had no class lost respect, thus he got his ass kicked. So my Mt. Rushmore would include Benitez over Duran.
Johnny Rutz Yeah, the loser always wants a rematch, basketball, football, checkers, Leornard gave rematches. Plus I said If there was a Fab 4 it would be Benitez, not Duran, so I gave him props so what's your point?
Benitez was a great champion. My heart goes out to him and his family. He's really in bad shape now. I wish some of the ex Fighters that are financially able would send some money to his family in Puerto Rico. God bless him and his family
That’s a very kind way to put it. They sure didn’t save $$$$ back then, the way they do or can now. Good luck Wilfred you da man, until sugar caught up w you.

Benitez's best victory in my opinion. He owned Duran that night. His body attack was terrific, and as always, his defense was superb. Wilfred Benitez was a wonderful fighter. He was a world champ at age 17, winning the Jr. Welterweight championship by split decision. An amazing accomplishment.
Durán was a old veteran fighter thirty something fighting a young blood prospect whit only 21 year old more bigger in weight classes but its true he won if has to be so I tell you a secret if he fights Duran on is prime he well get a ko believe it.
Durán fights 5 eras of boxing the better one was in is 135 pounds, wen Durán move to 147 he has 73 fights, that Duran was past is prime and also he was not training well like before he was drinking partying and whit women's. Ray Arcel tould him only Duran wins Duran for one reason he's indiscipline and that indiscipline make him pay a big price lossing some fights that he don't have to lose. Also he damage he's record of fights whit a bunch of soft fighter to try to pay all is debt, being an old man. But the people who knows about boxing there are clear enough. that Duran well train for a combat will eat you alive.
No doubt the great Wilfred benitez had Duran's number. Duran was great and still in his stride. Wilted took care of business. Truely a great. Not many could do that to Duran. Peace n smoke
I remember Duran was angrier than usual for this fight. He really wanted to knock out Wilfredo. He fought angry and got schooled. No shame in loosing to El Radar.
Brilliant performance from Benitez. He easily outboxed the GOAT. Duran looked over the hill in this fight, but was still very dangerous. I'm from Panama and we thought this was the end for Duran (boy were we wrong!) but Benitez earned our respect this night. God bless both of these legendary warriors.
String Theory Guitars It's so sad that Benitez has such effects from his boxing days that he can't enjoy his fame or remember his glories& depends on others for his care.
Benitez was old too in this fight. Plus don't forget Esteban De Jesus was the first fighter to Duran when Duran was at his prime. But Duran came back and beat Esteban twice, and in a bad way too.
...and Duran coming back and beating Barkley was epic!! One of the greatest sports feats I ever witnessed. It ranks neck and neck with George Foreman winning the heavyweight title at 45.

Es que hay que saber de donde viene la historia de esa ribalidad.....y Benitez nunca respeto a Roberto....te acuerdas despues de la pelea de Duran vs Leonard , Duran hace un gesto agarrandose los huevos? Era hacia Benitez quien decia que Leonard Nokearia a Duran, como Leonard lo habia knockeado al el....pero Duran le gana el titulo de benitez a Leonard...Antes de Leonard Duran queria reventarle a voca a Benitez.....y el no quizo pelear con Roberto, escojio a Leonard quien lo nokeo......este era otro Duran fuera de timing .......por eso era el odio de Duran hacia Benitez.
@@jaimemoreno3998 Y vaya que le dió buena pelea Benitez a Leonard , solo entrenó 2 semanas para esa pelea recuerdo lo dijeron sus allegados y entrenador de Benitez , Sugar Ray Leonard años más tarde diría que nunca en su carrera alguien lo había hecho fallar tantos golpes como lo hizo Benitez esa noche , en esta pelea contra Dúran tampoco iba bien preparado ya que la disciplina no era el fuerte de Benitez y creo que de Dúran tampoco.

@@jaimemoreno3998 desde que se hicieron las excusas jaja fuera de de que? De timing? Entonces estaba igual que Benitez y además un boxeador puede ir a quien le salga de los huevos si le gusta uno más que el otro pues..
People need to realize that Duran actually came into this fight in good shape. Thing is that the weight required for this fight was perfect for Benitez' frame. I'm Mexican but Benitez is my favorite.
Duran was slow and sluggish in this fight. Sugar Ray Leonard at ringside said "I can see that Duran is weak in this fight. When I fought Duran in Montreal he was very strong, but when I fought him in New Orleans he was very weak." Duran at the time was in a bad mental state due to the all flack he took after New Orleans.
No, creo que Durán haya llegado en su mejor forma. Luego de su triunfo con Leonard en welter, su conducta hacia el entrenamiento riguroso se desplomó. Una lástima, porque podría haber sido más grande de lo que fué.
Jimmy you must be a true fan! You Rock dude!!!Thank you for putting this video up. Duran and Benitez deserve these views...they put on a show that few can appreciate unless you like boxing!
soy panameño pero en lo personal Benítez le ganó muy bien parado...duran no dijo ninguna excusa y ni se habló mas de revancha simplemente fue superior a el
Benitez threw much more to the body than to the head. he's known as a boxer but he was a slick slugger who threw 3 and 4 punch combos to the body constantly in his prime

Benitez was special. I feel so bad that things ended the way they did for him. I won't get into the Floyd hater discussions, as it seems pointless. One thing that always amazed me about Duran, even too heavy and not in prime shape for a fight against a top guy like Benitez... what did he do to disguise that long overhand right that he could always nail guys with it? He hit Benitez with it cleanly a bunch of times and Benitez was a master at making guys miss. That punch ended guys at 135 pounds... Benitez was just too big. But man, how did he disguise it standing right in the pocket? Duran always amazed me because he was always right in the pocket. Just used subtle little movements the same way James Toney always did, to put you right where he wanted you.
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 WILFRED BENITEZ THE BIBLE OF BOXING 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 YOUNGEST CHAMPION EVER!!!! 17 year old still in high school ! 3 X world champion in 3 different weigh class. ( 140,147,154). By the age of 23 years of age!! MASTERS OF DEFENSE!! Honorable mention: SWEET PEA WHITAKER, MONEY MAYWEATHER , LIGHTS OUT TONEY!
Benitez was truly amazing. A true work of art. had it all---speed, power, and defensive ability like almost no one else. Shame his career was over when he was about 25, and that today he is in bad shape.
loyaldude10 His career was over when he was 25 because he had been fighting since he was a kid. No wonder he became the youngest champion ever at 17 and will remain the youngest ever because boxing no longer permits boxers to fight at that young age anymore. By the time he was 25 he had aged way beyond his natural years because although he was winning, the grind for such a young kid who wasn't fully developed yet was too much. Benitez is one of the greatest champions ever.
Benitez's best victory. He was masterful in this fight. At this point in his career, Duran didn't have any legs. It would have been interesting to have seen them match up at welterweight. Benitez is very underrated, he was an all-time great. Incredible how most of Duran's career was remembered for what he did from the first Leonard fight, which happened 12 pounds over the weight that he fought at for 12 years. He fought for 33 years, but most fight fans think of him when he fought at heavier weights and was slow-footed during the last 20 years. His longevity competing at the high level that he did, coupled with the long dominance at his natural weight is what puts him near the top of the all-time great fighters list.
@@stetson_maven Yes.I agree .An older ,wiser Duran.It is not unusual for these champions to cherish each other as they become older men understanding the special moments they crated together in the ring.Have you ever seen the documentary "Facing Ali"?

I would really like to see a breakdown into why Benitez was never as famous or talked about as the other guys, while being as, if not more, talented and having big wins against the popular fighters of the era.
benitez was not able to win boxing titles compared with duran from lightweight, welterweight, light middleweight and lastly middleweight crowns. .sugar ray started as welterweight champ def. benitez then lightmiddleweight def kalule, proceeded to defeat hagler at middleweight and a champ at lightheavyweight defeated lalonde. .
@@ckobo84 Wrong!! Benitez won titles at junior welterweight, welterweight and junior middleweight. Wilfred Benitez is also the youngest world champion ever.

@@mongoslade277 That's why Mike Tyson talks so highly of Duran. Super featherweight Lightweight Light welterweight Welterweight Light middleweight Middleweight Super middleweight Duran was the seventies when it came to boxing, he and Hagler were the seventies badasses.

One of Benitez's greatest victories right here. He was absolute prime-time for this one. Duran was alot stronger in this fight than he was in his horribly abused weight-drained emaciated physical bodied self from the 2nd Leonard fight. Benitez rocked Duran numerous times in this but Duran had no quit in him in this fight because like i previously stated,he was alot stronger and more properly prepared going into this than he was in the 2nd Leonard fight. I think though that Duran should've tried getting Benitez in the corner more often,and maybe then he would've laned more and been more effective overall but still,a very game and courageous effort by Duran. I think he rightfully redeemed his dignity in this fight. Going into the 2nd Leonard fight Duran had weight-drained himself in a very radically unhealthy way(230 lbs to 147 within 10 weeks) which causes great amounts of inner energy expenditure which is why he looked so nonchalant and casual in his obvious lack of fighting spirit right from the get-go in the 2nd Leonard fight. Also,draining massive amounts of weight so rapidly causes a tremendous drain on you're stamina and recovery abilities,as well as you're punch-resistance. In this fight though,Duran was a bit outclassed,but nevertheless,he was obviously alot stronger than he was in the 2nd Leonard fight. Thus why he was able to keep coming forward with constant energy and valiant effort,even though Benitez had his number.
@@NoName-gv6nm Duran was sold out by his manager who set him up. He was way overweight without enough time to get ready for the second fight. Duran required diuretic shots to make him lose weight and was weak and not at his best. But even then Duran showed up and had to put up with SRL running and clowning too !! Contrast this with SRL coming out retirement to fight Hagler. SRL delayed and delayed till he felt he was ready and Hagler was bored and lost his peak!!! You are right Duran and Hagler were OUTFOXED!! But Duran and Hagler are nowdays more respected by the business pros than SRL

Ah Benitez, his dad had to drag him out of club to get him ready for a fight. I don't know anybody who slips punches better than him, too bad he liked to party too much.
and he can slip without squatting down he could block body shots while seeing the heads shots coming and move his head just enough to avoid while countering with his own shots wilfredo benitez the greatest defensive fighter ever along with many other but no one avoided punches in the fashion in which he did he had a smooth rhytm
Everybody making the dough is going to party. Benitez turned pro at 17. Sure he partied. He was living his age. They all party, some just know when to go home and get ready for work. They're no different than the rest of us
Benitez schooled Duran. He was staying on pocket countering Duran. Catching him with multiple lead right hands that visibly hurt him, double left hook to body and head and that stiff jab that was snapping Duran's head back. What a great fight for both fighters. Nothing but respect to the two.

The great Roberto Duran was outboxed by the great Wilfredo Benitez. Some people think that Duran was just a ferocious brawler with hands of stone, but Duran was also a great boxer with excellent defense. Benitez was a master of defense, and he proved it against Duran. Watch the whole fight, not just these highlights, and you will see how frustrated Duran became trying to hit Benitez. Even when Benitez was on the ropes, Duran could not rough Benitez up or land any clean shots. Benitez fought in the same era as "The Four Kings" - Duran, Hagler, Leonard, and Hearns. In my opinion, there should be "Five Kings" from that era, and Benitez is the fifth.

SRL said the same thing. TH struggled with Benitez so did Hagler and sugar ray
Benitez was washed up by the time he was 27. Duran was winning Championships against big middleweights at age 37.
Wildred Benitez MUST be included in the conversation when you speak of Duran, Leonard and Hearns - Benitez is terribly underrated. The only reason I didn't include Marvin Hagler is that he came on a bit later - Early on it was Duran, Leonard, Hearns and Benitez just fighting each other for the Welterweight crown(s) at that time - All (except Benitez) fought Hagler when they all decided to move up to Middleweight.

@kevindlinc I agree great fighter
No doubt Glenn, but I feel The Marvelous One should stand at the top of the heap Just a relentless WARRIOR who was ALL business and ALWAYS showed class. Just can't say that about the others sadly. Loved them All but just a tad biased towards Marvin.
I disagree not after seeing him against Moore
@@keithlauderjr1691 I get that, I love Hagler, but Duran really should be Top Of The Heap among these names. He was a natural-135-pounder, 12 lbs below the weights of SRL and Hearns, 25 pounds less than Hagler. I know that Duran is considered part of “The Four Kings” (maybe Benitez would’ve been a better ‘fourth’?), but the VERY BEST Roberto Duran was sorta left behind when he moved up to Welter. He took one single, solitary loss at 135, a non-title bout loss to Esteban De Jesus, which Duran proceeded to avenge, twice, by the time he moved up. And he only moved up because there was more money fighting these guys who were now HUGE STARS in the US, SRL especially, than he could earn at 135.
Duran, really, wasn’t the “4th king”, he was his own thing entirely. If he was American, he’d be considered the greatest boxer since Sugar Ray Robinson.
Soo many great boxing matchups back then. It truly was the golden age, and one we will not witness again.
You said it. I was just watching the Bobby Chacon fights with Bazooka Limon and Boza Edwards. The 70s and 80s were great decades for boxing.
Gran campeón Wilfredo Benítez, un caballero del boxeo que llevó a la escuela a Durán, que se muestra frustrado y descortés. Saludos desde México.
"El Radar" has been one of the most underrated champions ever! Give Wilfred his dues while he`s still with us! One of the true greats!
Q va compa Benítez esta como un Zombie en la actualidad es como estar en una muerte en vida y Leonarth, Hearns , Palomino , y Duran gozando de la vida ...
Benitez still holds the record as the youngest title holder at 17 with his win over Antonio Cervantes from Colombia.
Eventhugh Benitez was not born in PR. He is the best PR fighter ever!
The late '70s and the 80's were the years of some of the greatest light to middleweights that I've ever seen. Some of the most fantastic rivalries in boxing history, too. Leonard, Duran Benitez, Haggler and so many more. That was some time to see greatness. Thanks to TH-cam we can remember those men and their wars.
Marston Davis too me that was the Golden Age of boxing from Featherweight to Middleweight
You forgot Hearns
l agree 100% also the feather weights like Gomez, Camacho, Sanchez, Chavez, Arguello also Aron Pryor, Chapo Rosario, Mancini wow that era was truly loaded with so much talent and rivalries Thank You warriors for the wars and memories, God Bless you all!!! Also Hector Camacho, Salvador Sanchez, Aron Pryor, Alexis Arguello and Chapo Rosario may you rest in peace in the presence of almighty God!!!
Amen. Welterweight alone was loaded with Duran, Leonard, Cuevas, Hearns, Palamino.

I am so happy that he was introduced Wilfred Benitez into the Hall of Fame
This is why I call them the Fabulous FIVE. You cant forget about Benitez, he had this masterful performance against Duran, and incredible fight with Leonard, and challenged the way larger and stronger man in Hearns. Such a savage, and one of the best defensive boxers ever slips punches like the matrix, but wasnt afraid to trade shots either. Love this man
Agreed 100% Benitez, De Jesus..wow so many great great fighters

GRANDE BENÍTEZ QUE DIOS TE BENDIGA SIEMPRE SALUDOS DE MÉXICO.
I remember the fight, nice win for Benítez. Durán started fighting in 1968, this was his 77th fight in 1982. Arguably the greatest lightweight ever, he started losing when he got older and moved up weight classes. After his first fight with Sugar Ray he was 72-1. He gets remembered too much for the more famous fights as a veteran past his prime. Before that he dominated a weight division for years.
J PP how right you are
Average fight fan is oblivious to what Duran accomplished at lightweight! Everything after lightweight is unimaginable.Truly one of the greatest of all time.
@Sandor Weiss
Esteban de Jesus. He won the first match UD10. Then Duran TKO'd him the last two fights that were for the title.

Agree 100%. Leonard hearns Duran and Benitez were all magnificent fighters that fought successfully in different weights. They all adapted to being comfortable in uncomfortable weights. None of that for Hagler ,he stayed in his comfort zone. Yes Wilfredo ( the radar) Benitez defence was like trying to hit a ghost. That’s what Leonard said in his book.
@@johndasilva2686 no man , no way ... Hagler was Middleweight, natural middleweight, the best , so why should he move to lightweight or to heavyweight? Why? Because you said so, no man , Marvelous Marvin is good there so he stood there at middleweight
They always take about the fab 4 and forget about benitez he belongs in that group a great champion
Thomas Russo. I agree.
It really should have been the Fab 3. If it had to be a Fab 4, Benitez should've replaced the classless Duran. Both combined for 6 losses in 7 fights against the top 3 (only Duran's decision in the first fight with Leornard). Benitez fared better than Duran (knocking down Hearns the weakest of the big 3), but he never faught Hagler. Duran showed no class in the Leonard fight as he did here in the Benitez fight. He lost 5 out of 6 to the other 4. I was a Duran fan, but he had no class lost respect, thus he got his ass kicked. So my Mt. Rushmore would include Benitez over Duran.
Johnny Rutz Yeah, the loser always wants a rematch, basketball, football, checkers, Leornard gave rematches. Plus I said If there was a Fab 4 it would be Benitez, not Duran, so I gave him props so what's your point?
@@twistedlogic4742 Duran is the GREATEST LIGHTWEIGHT OF ALL TIME though.
Butter Johnson he was the greatest lightweight, but when he moved up to welterweight (Leornard, Hearns, Hagler, Benitez) he wasn't.
Benitez was a great champion. My heart goes out to him and his family. He's really in bad shape now. I wish some of the ex Fighters that are financially able would send some money to his family in Puerto Rico. God bless him and his family

Benitez's best victory in my opinion. He owned Duran that night. His body attack was terrific, and as always, his defense was superb. Wilfred Benitez was a wonderful fighter. He was a world champ at age 17, winning the Jr. Welterweight championship by split decision. An amazing accomplishment.
Durán was a old veteran fighter thirty something fighting a young blood prospect whit only 21 year old more bigger in weight classes but its true he won if has to be so I tell you a secret if he fights Duran on is prime he well get a ko believe it.
@@ricardocambell4065 BS! Cuz a few fights later Duran beat a 24 year old Davey Moore, fact is Benitez schooled Duran that night ...bottomline.
Durán fights 5 eras of boxing the better one was in is 135 pounds, wen Durán move to 147 he has 73 fights, that Duran was past is prime and also he was not training well like before he was drinking partying and whit women's. Ray Arcel tould him only Duran wins Duran for one reason he's indiscipline and that indiscipline make him pay a big price lossing some fights that he don't have to lose. Also he damage he's record of fights whit a bunch of soft fighter to try to pay all is debt, being an old man. But the people who knows about boxing there are clear enough. that Duran well train for a combat will eat you alive.
Trillones de bendiciones Benitez una leyenda DIOS te bendiga siempre gracias por tu calidad de ser humano y tu gran talento.

I remember Duran was angrier than usual for this fight. He really wanted to knock out Wilfredo. He fought angry and got schooled. No shame in loosing to El Radar.

@@havrisen6620 Duran simp[ly wasn't in fighting condition for either the second Leonard fight or the Benitez fight.
Brilliant performance from Benitez. He easily outboxed the GOAT. Duran looked over the hill in this fight, but was still very dangerous. I'm from Panama and we thought this was the end for Duran (boy were we wrong!) but Benitez earned our respect this night. God bless both of these legendary warriors.
String Theory Guitars It's so sad that Benitez has such effects from his boxing days that he can't enjoy his fame or remember his glories& depends on others for his care.

People need to realize that Duran actually came into this fight in good shape. Thing is that the weight required for this fight was perfect for Benitez' frame. I'm Mexican but Benitez is my favorite.
Duran was slow and sluggish in this fight. Sugar Ray Leonard at ringside said "I can see that Duran is weak in this fight. When I fought Duran in Montreal he was very strong, but when I fought him in New Orleans he was very weak." Duran at the time was in a bad mental state due to the all flack he took after New Orleans.
Im Puerto Rican and Chavez is one of mine!
Typical excuse from duran fangirls. They act like duran was invisible, lmao
Wilfred se veia mas fuerte en ede peso
No, creo que Durán haya llegado en su mejor forma. Luego de su triunfo con Leonard en welter, su conducta hacia el entrenamiento riguroso se desplomó. Una lástima, porque podría haber sido más grande de lo que fué.
Great win for Benitez.

Wilfredo Benitez was a great fighter he belongs in the same category as the fab four of the 1980's.
absolutely
Benitez threw much more to the body than to the head. he's known as a boxer but he was a slick slugger who threw 3 and 4 punch combos to the body constantly in his prime
That's what was so impressive. Benitiez fought Duran's fight & beat him at his own game.

Benitez was special. I feel so bad that things ended the way they did for him. I won't get into the Floyd hater discussions, as it seems pointless. One thing that always amazed me about Duran, even too heavy and not in prime shape for a fight against a top guy like Benitez... what did he do to disguise that long overhand right that he could always nail guys with it? He hit Benitez with it cleanly a bunch of times and Benitez was a master at making guys miss. That punch ended guys at 135 pounds... Benitez was just too big. But man, how did he disguise it standing right in the pocket? Duran always amazed me because he was always right in the pocket. Just used subtle little movements the same way James Toney always did, to put you right where he wanted you.
The main isdue was that Duran was too big; his nature intended 135 lb body just didn't carry over 150 lbs effectively.

Benitez was truly amazing. A true work of art. had it all---speed, power, and defensive ability like almost no one else. Shame his career was over when he was about 25, and that today he is in bad shape.
loyaldude10 His career was over when he was 25 because he had been fighting since he was a kid. No wonder he became the youngest champion ever at 17 and will remain the youngest ever because boxing no longer permits boxers to fight at that young age anymore. By the time he was 25 he had aged way beyond his natural years because although he was winning, the grind for such a young kid who wasn't fully developed yet was too much. Benitez is one of the greatest champions ever.
He did not have much power. Just good enough.
31 KO's out of 53 wins. Almost 60% KO rate is good power.
Both were great fighters. That was great days to be watching boxing. Thanks for posting this
Benitez's best victory. He was masterful in this fight. At this point in his career, Duran didn't have any legs. It would have been interesting to have seen them match up at welterweight. Benitez is very underrated, he was an all-time great. Incredible how most of Duran's career was remembered for what he did from the first Leonard fight, which happened 12 pounds over the weight that he fought at for 12 years. He fought for 33 years, but most fight fans think of him when he fought at heavier weights and was slow-footed during the last 20 years. His longevity competing at the high level that he did, coupled with the long dominance at his natural weight is what puts him near the top of the all-time great fighters list.
As much as I liked Duran as a fighter he was disappointing at times with his behavior.Benetez always a class act.

Ese récord será simple de Wilfredo Benítez, la misma ley, evita, que se pueda romper ese récord de Wilfredo Benítez, saludos para ti, mi hermano, bendiciones para ti,
Atte 🇵🇷 Albert Colón Lee.
@@albertcolonlee2353 Saludos hermano lamentablement hay tambien cosecuencias a corto o largo plazo que traen echar a muchachos jovenes con boxeadores ya maduros, El Boxeo es parte de nuestra idiosincrasia, como pueblo despierta pasiones, nuestra carta de presenacion por ende tenemos que protejer a nuestros gladiadores. Quedes con Dios Hermano.
@@joseortega-us6rn muy cierto, bendiciones
como vas a decir q Floyd es un gran boxeador con las peleas arregladas, ustedes no son un pais, son una isla estado de USA, Panma si es un pais.
Claramente gano wilfredo benitez...saludos desde México!!
Rarely have we seen this much mastery in the ring at the same time. Wow.
Wilfredo in any other era including today would have been the man. He was in a rough era of boxing folks. The best Welterweight era of all times!
I agree with that
yes
Déspota el panameño. Se me cayo del pedestal. Grande Benítez muy humilde.
Igual de déspota se mostró Morales cuando perdio con Maidana, Camacho cuando no quiso saludar a Haugen y Cotto cuando perdio con Trout.
con tomas hearns no pudo ser despota😂😂
He deserved better rewards, world champ at 17. Earned this win more than Duran's other opponents. A real solid champion 🏆
I'm not the only one watching these two legends in 2021!
we still watch
One of Benitez's greatest victories right here. He was absolute prime-time for this one. Duran was alot stronger in this fight than he was in his horribly abused weight-drained emaciated physical bodied self from the 2nd Leonard fight. Benitez rocked Duran numerous times in this but Duran had no quit in him in this fight because like i previously stated,he was alot stronger and more properly prepared going into this than he was in the 2nd Leonard fight. I think though that Duran should've tried getting Benitez in the corner more often,and maybe then he would've laned more and been more effective overall but still,a very game and courageous effort by Duran. I think he rightfully redeemed his dignity in this fight.
Going into the 2nd Leonard fight Duran had weight-drained himself in a very radically unhealthy way(230 lbs to 147 within 10 weeks) which causes great amounts of inner energy expenditure which is why he looked so nonchalant and casual in his obvious lack of fighting spirit right from the get-go in the 2nd Leonard fight. Also,draining massive amounts of weight so rapidly causes a tremendous drain on you're stamina and recovery abilities,as well as you're punch-resistance. In this fight though,Duran was a bit outclassed,but nevertheless,he was obviously alot stronger than he was in the 2nd Leonard fight. Thus why he was able to keep coming forward with constant energy and valiant effort,even though Benitez had his number.
You're nonchalantly trying to excuse Duran for quitting and losing against Leonard, even thought he was just simply outfoxed
Porno
De 2018
No Name lmao
@@NoName-gv6nm Duran was sold out by his manager who set him up. He was way overweight without enough time to get ready for the second fight. Duran required diuretic shots to make him lose weight and was weak and not at his best. But even then Duran showed up and had to put up with SRL running and clowning too !! Contrast this with SRL coming out retirement to fight Hagler. SRL delayed and delayed till he felt he was ready and Hagler was bored and lost his peak!!! You are right Duran and Hagler were OUTFOXED!! But Duran and Hagler are nowdays more respected by the business pros than SRL
Thank you for the information
I would have said that Duran is washed up here, but he went on the beat Moore and Barkley.
Duran didn't take this seriously but I hate that shit ,he has a chance to change history and he didn't expect to be this famous and for us to see this
@@dantedlane2 bullshit he took this fight seriously he could never beat Benitez
@@dins5066 Duran beat the shit out of Leonard in his best shape ,in this slow outta weight shape he isn't effective
@Jamal Vines DURAN BEAT THE DOG SHIT OUTTA LEONARD LMAOOOOOOOO ALMOST KNOCKED HIM DOWN IN EVERY FUCKING ROUND LMAOOOOOOO
@Jamal Vines one dumbass had it a draw it was 146 144
147 147
145 144
Who the fuck cares what the bought Americans scored it,ppl know who had the fu ked up eyes the broke n ribs the fucked up nose
Ah Benitez, his dad had to drag him out of club to get him ready for a fight. I don't know anybody who slips punches better than him, too bad he liked to party too much.
Duran had nothing but pure distain for all opponents & was a sore loser...
bflo1000 that's what man him so great
Yeah, he was a great fighter but a REAL JERK otherwise LOL!
and he can slip without squatting down he could block body shots while seeing the heads shots coming and move his head just enough to avoid while countering with his own shots wilfredo benitez the greatest defensive fighter ever along with many other but no one avoided punches in the fashion in which he did he had a smooth rhytm
Everybody making the dough is going to party. Benitez turned pro at 17. Sure he partied. He was living his age. They all party, some just know when to go home and get ready for work. They're no different than the rest of us
Benitez schooled Duran. He was staying on pocket countering Duran. Catching him with multiple lead right hands that visibly hurt him, double left hook to body and head and that stiff jab that was snapping Duran's head back.
What a great fight for both fighters. Nothing but respect to the two.
I never saw anyone who could fight as effectively with his back on the ropes like Wilfred Benitez. He was a master.
Grande!!!! Benitez

Bravissimo Benitez precisione e velocità
Truly tragic how Benítez has suffered since retirement, thank God he was blessed with a loving family.
Matthew Hilton must have destroyed Wilfreds brain. Poor bastard got the shit punched out of him.
BENITEZ LEGENDAAA 🇵🇷💪💪💪🔥
Duran was a great fighter but poor sportsman.
He often was a poor sportsman, And yet, I saw right after "no mas" He went over and congradulated Surar Ray.
True. Great, great fighter but I used to get so tired of his whole macho act.
Wilfred was a terrific fighter with incredible defense and all around boxing skills. This was a great boxing era with so many great boxers.
the forgotten king of the 80s. we alwaysvtalk about the 4 kings ofvthe 80s Leonard, Duran, Hearns and Hagler.
Gotta put Benitez in there
nah 4 is enough
No veo por qué Benítez merece estar alli Moore lo hizo mierda en primer round Leonard lo noqueó hearns nunca peleó ni hagler Moore tenia solo 11 peleas decision con un indisciplinado duran Roberto perdió varias veces por su vida desordenada todos aquellos mediocres que ganaron a duran deberían estar allí no es así porque si ese es el caso tendríamos un fab 9 en vez the Fab Four
@@MegaAlvarojavier Si peleo contra Hearns y perdio.
You must include Benitez.
It's a felony crime not too.
@@governorofthedeathstar1680 Benitez was good, but I don´t think he had enough accomplishments to put him high with the other 4.
i remember wilfred back in the glory days, good to see him fight someone his own size.
Que gran Boxeador era Benitez, de los mejores en Latinoamerica.
Wilfred paid the price but left his mark for all eternity: A Champion's Mark!
Wilfred started young, peaked young, and burned out at an age before most fighters peak.
Hagler , Hearns , Sugar Ray Leonard all top notch fighters that beat Duran but Benitez needs to be recognized as well
So many legends in the 70's and 80s. God should've spread them out a little. Maybe we would have something to watch today.
Un gran campeón wilfredo enfrentó a los mejores, cuanto dolor por la condiciónes de salud económica en la que se encuentra y l poco apoyo brindado por la grande Federación de boxeo. Gran campeón...
Simplemente nuestro mejor campeón, no hay comparación con ninguno de mi isla
Durán fue bueno en sus mejores tiempos,con un metabolismo envidiable y tmbn una gran boca y engreído.
Benítez en su manera de boxear,era un poema Gran gran Boxeador,de o mejor que se ha visto en el mundo del boxeo.
(A mi forma de ver.)
Si por ahi hablan de medianos en realidad eso no ME quedo muy claro si consideraban también a medianos creo de podrían estar olvidando DE uno bien del sur del continente me refiero al gran campeón mundial Carlos Monzón DE Argentina. .No lucia, ,no te mataba de un golpe pero destruía porque sus golpes hasta hacían doler los brazos del adversario que se cubría. .
@@benitezbenitez1238 Bueno, estas hablando de los que hicieron historia en el boxeo.
Saludos.
The Bible of boxing in action. Respect to you champ.
Benitez un peleador serio profesional excelente boxeador un gran campeon en todas sus peleas contra los grandes lo hizo de una forma muy digna . Soy un aficionado mexicano honor a quien honor merece.
Y que pasó contra moore? Y leonard? Y hearns? El único que perdió una decisión polémica duran un hombre que no creo haya estado al cien cuando pelearon definitivamente no merece estar entre los cuatro
@@MegaAlvarojavier Con Moore tienes que ver la pelea y veras lo que paso, con Leonard le salio duro al que consideraban el mejor en esa division y con Hearns duro 15 asaltos con quien se suponia segun los expertos que lo noquearia. Si te refieres a esta pelea como una derrota polemica para Duran, no se que pelea estabas viendo. No se a que viene tanto apasionamiento, pero en esta pelea Benitez fue superior, solo hay que ver bien la pelea.
@@thecsr2944 That guy is a troll. Benitez beat Duran by unanimous decision. Benitez lost a close fight to Hearns by split decision. Some people thought he won the fight. Hearns knocked Duran out cold in the 2nd round
@@mongoslade277 He lost by Majority Decision, not a split decision. 146-137, 144-139 and 142-142, CASUAL!!! SMH!
@@rjpdcytys7687 That fight was almost 40 years ago. I'm going off of memory. You're using a search engine. Thanks for the correction. Nevertheless the fact is that Benitez did way better vs Hearns than Duran did. A 15 round decision loss vs A 2nd round KO that should've been a 1st round TKO
Two of the Best!!!
Benitez was a accurate puncher...for real!!! Respect
If Benitez had power he would've been unbeatable,
rick ingram
agree...I always said the same thing... Also pernell Whitaker with punching power and all that beautiful boxing technique...he also would've been invincible..
Nobody is perfect, thats the beauty of sports
@@johnnybiggunz1141 Mayweather too
Honestly I think mayweather has a lotta pop he just chooses to be on the run all the time. Definetly more punching power than benitez, and pernell. He can hurt a lotta fighters if he wanted too,specially with his hand speed.
@@GuyFromTheSouth but he's always playing it safe and smart...he's always on the run 🏃 🏃
😬😂
DURAN IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST FIGHTERS I HAVE SEEN HE JUST COMES BACK FOR MORE.
He got beat pretty bad.
That nigga a bitch
@@droski9615 he a bitch ? He beat sugar in his prime when he was out of his prime your tripping 😂
@@kuro3864 no mas

Benítez un gran campeón el debería ser uno de los fantásticos le ganó a Durán e hizo mejor pelea con hearns hasta lo tumbo, para mi uno de los mejores junto con Tito Trinidad, y wilfredo Gómez .Viva Puerto Rico y México
2 grandes potencias en boxeo.
De aquerdo gran amigo! Viva Mexico Viva Puerto Rico los grandes del boxeo!
Benitez le dió cátedra de boxeo a un poco húmilde y egocéntrico Dúran , deberían de incluirlo cuando hablan de los 4 fantasticos de los 80s , yo diría los 5 magnificos con Benitez el radar.
Pero Benítez no le pudo ganar a Sugar Ray ni a Davey Moor. En cambio MANOS DE PIEDRA DURAN SI LES GANOOOO. X eso DURAN y x mucho más q hizo en el BOXEO ,es un fantástico . Ahí está tu respuesta
@@cesarlujanalvarez6298 Duran era un perro loco que si no tenia un costal para pegarle a placer se frustraba. La cobra lo desmierdo en dos rounds y si dura mas la pelea lo mata. Y a Leonard de plano se le rajo "porque no se dejaba pegar"
@@mariomedel7724 se ve q sabes de box 😄 jajaj
Que valiente era benites . Se fajaba con el que sea. Eso se le admiro siempre.
Jajaja ese Duran si era malamañoso, no importa a él les podemos perdonar todo ese es nuestro campeón, pero me quito el sombrero delante de Benítez que en esa pelea fue el mejor.
I remember watching this live when I was a kid. Very disappointed. It's amazing that a year and another loss (Kirklaind Lang) later, Duran was resurrected against Cuevas and then, Moore
Wilfred Benítez the best defensive counterpunches boxer all time. Wilfred Benítez MASTER FIGHT OFF THE ROPES.
Por siempre Wilfredo Benitez!
Gran campeón!
